What is wrong with this guy Are you been paid to bring these phone brands down or what? Why do you keep creating threads to tarnish the image of these phone manufacturers?

Simply because you were unfortunate to purchase a defective unit from one of these manufacturers is not enough reason to come here and condemn all of them.... I can remember i bought one infinix some time in early 2015, and it's still working perfectly up till now even after falling severally. Although I have given it out and the person is still using it.
Because it works does not mean it's original. These phones do not meet the specifications and standards that are required for them to operate in saner climes. The hardware specs they list are lies and this is what the op I saying. I have a friend that still uses a tecno phone he bought in 2014, but even he still says he only bought it cos it's cheap, he will tell you that tecno is substandard. Again, because it works does not make it original

simply because you are rich enough to buy a chinko phones fortunate to use it beyond its life span & give it out to someone, maybe ur babe,, is not enough reason to come online n downgrade her,,what if she is reading as well.
do not let your left hand know even what right hand gives out
,,

I wanted to ignore you before but because of the statement in bold.

Why is it that guys of nowadays can't just think about anything else apart from boyfriend/girlfriend relationships? What gave you the impression that i gave it to a lady? Anyway you are wrong. And what do you mean by left hand............... " did i mention any body's name? Do you even know who i am? I don't think you understand that biblical passage.

Now to the part of phones, i castigated him based on the fact that he was creating multiple threads aimed at bringing down those so called chinko brands. Although I'm Not a fan of Tecno or itel but I have used infinix before and didn't have any cause to regret it. I currently use Samsung and I still have an infinix for support and So far, both have been functioning well.

Although my Samsung performs better which is expected, but those chinko brands are not as bad as the way he is painting them

I'm really wary of Chinese phones cuz I bought a Tecno tablet PC 2 years ago but it got different problems in just 8 months. Is Xiaomi really ok? Cuz I've never heard of it before.

At first I didn't wanna participate but now I will.
I'm a retired Samsung user(now using tecno) I see nothing in this thread other than a waste of time.
Its just like someone creating ads and wanting people to visit and click.
Ya all be shouting Samsung Samsung upandan
I don use many Samsung phones(most of dem na just waste of money).
For xiaomi phones, na parts be their own shit(not readily available).
Although Samsung phones are very very nice and when it comes to android, I think they are number 1.
But then let's go to the most important part(the cost of d phone and cost of reparing)omo na die o
Imagine buying a uk used phone (a5 2016) for 70k, phone broke and d screen cost is 47k
Haffa na!!, almost the money I bought it.
Tecno and infinix are really trying these days and they are at good prices.
Guys, na Nigeria we dey, as long as the cost to performance ratio of these phones is balanced , I, and some wise people don't care about the EUROPE market and all those stuffs.

Wen we commot naija, we go dey bother
So just carry this thread commot coz I see it as bad mouthing these phones.

Must I get a phone from a carrier? I don't get you. Majority of the popular carriers are sorta brand-specific. They sell and market major brands like iPhone, Samsung, HTC and LG and the likes . Nonetheless they that doesn't mean you can't get it from some of them. Boost Mobile, Cricket and some other networks sell these phones. You can also get Huawei, ZTE in many stores in US (Best Buy, Walmart and many other phone stores) . I don't know about others you mentioned there.
I want to believe all what the Transition or na Traction company do is just mere branding of mobile phones. I once came across a phone called Ojji and it has exactly same UI and spec as Infinix hot 2. I mean nothing changed. I know of someone in Nigeria that ordered cloned phones from a company in China as Christmas gifts for his clients and the phones were branded in his company's name.

Brother, cost to performance ratio as you said for those phone isn't balanced. Only very few people are lucky enough to enjoy the value of the money used in the purchase of the phone. It hardly goes beyond 18 months (of careful and very sensitive usage). I was their die-hard marketer (not a paid one though, more of a fanboy when Tecno started Android phone). I made sure I convinced all my friends then to buy that Tecno n7 which I thought was a monster of a phone to compete with the international brands as far as Android phones are concerned. It was one of my greatest mistakes. None of them could last even up to 6 months without issues and I got mocked by my friends till date. I still convinced one of those guyz then to buy P3 (can't remember the p it was actually) when the N7 had issue, unfortunately that one didn't even last 3 months.... Let's be sincere with ourselves, Yes, they're very affordable and can perform good functions needed in a smartphone but if you consider how many you'd buy within 2 yrs or how much you'd spend within that period, you'd agree most of them are nothing but penny wise pound foolish. I haven't come across anyone with those chinco phone that lasted up to 2 years but you see people with their Samsung phone (even bought used) being used for many years with even a cracked screen (which unfortunately happen to be the major problem you'd always face with it) that still functions well. Once those chinco has just a small cracked screen, expect them to go "auto-press" (among many other issues that'd would also cost you a whole lot to fix) . It'd start dialing numbers and opening applications on it own. I've seen 3 like that. Meanwhile my old Samsung S6 with even an almost detached screen still functions well till date.

That some stores ship them in and sell doesn't mean they are in the US. These stores buy them outright and resell, not that Huawei supply the stores and provide after sale services. It's just like jumia sells xiaomi phones, that doesn't mean xiaomi have market in Nigeria.

Nokia lost the market because they didn't follow trends. They didn't make phones that the Nigerian market needed. Tecno on the other hand have firmly understood the Nigerian market and has won a large share of it. But this is just my opinion and it can be accepted largely.

U need to wake up. If a company like Huawei cannot get a carrier to sell their phones in the us then it means they are not officially sold in the us. Even best buy are not selling them. Just because Amazon sells them doesn't mean they are in the US. Amazon is a 3rd party reseller just like jumia. So u wanna tell me xiaomi phones are sold in Nigeria since jumia sell them?

Simople question is why don't Xiaomi, Huawei, ZTE, Oppo, etc sell their phones in the US. At least these are bigger names. If those ones no fit enter who come be small Tecno?
ZTE is the 4th largest smartphone brand in the US, Huawei sells phones there directly through their website, other brands like Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, gets their phones imported by Americans, not forgetting 1+,ever present in the US.

But Sony, HTC sell their phones in the US. And Infinix never mentions they use Gorilla glass if they don't. The phone where they mentioned gorilla glass 3 is infinix zero 5 and in truth they did use gorilla glass 3 as it was proven by some reviewers in India which is also where Infinix have some market share. What they don't do is tell us the aperture in their camera, but it is better not to mention it than lie.
and you think they are selling you the same phone they sell to Indians? lipsrsealed

As greenhulk said, Chinese OEMs would have a hard time entering the us markets as of now.
The Us don't trust Chinese companies particularly, ZTE and huawei. They believe they are some sought of espionage by the Chinese government. ZTE made things worse by selling phones with us parts (gorilla glass, snapdragon, android and so on) to iran and N.korea. Although they paid a fine last year, some other political stuff I don't know much about put them in the hot seat again , if US don't sell it's products to them, they are gone, huawei are investigated for something similar, xiaomi plans to debut in the us this year, don't know how far they have gone. Well obviously, this has to do more with politics, coming to the topic, it should be clear that transsion holdings aren't investing in the us for none of the reasons above. They sell here because this is the market they can dominate and make profit, they came in when the smartphone was new here, why go to a saturated market? Even now, the ng smartphone market is not even half-saturated, i bet a new company that comes today and takes the ng market as serious as transsion would be flying in a year. So this is a business decision. Mind you, I'm not a fan of transsion, probably close to an enemy of their products but I'd always praise them for a masterclass from a business perspective.
