I thought as much. So someone using the phone is lying because your friend says otherwise?
So we should take what you said your friends said over what someone using the phone said?

On September 14th, I bought a new phone
This phone was the Pouvour 3, a tecno product
This phone has been giving good reviews (which I later found out that they were all false by tecno marketers.) And I fell for the reviews. I fell hard angry
Unboxed the device and the first turn off was that the phone overheats like mad.
The 5000mah battery was a phony.
And there were no fonts! Can you imagine?
Android 10 is out but I'm still stuck with android Oreo for months.
I spent 40k on this phone and it disappointed. Worst money I have spent. I have been scammed.
Yesterday I was moving a file of 3gb from my phone memory to SD card, and my phone froze. Before you knew it, it died. I had to press the power icon for like 30s before it came back to life..
That's not all

I did an antutu benchmark test on it and guess what?
Even their flagships don't rank in the top 89
But guess what I saw.

The redmi note 5-8 made it into the list!
I regret buying tecno. Pes 2020 lags and PUBG lags too.
I no go ever buy tecno again cry

Modified:- Tecno marketers are here. God knows all I said here is true. What will I gain from lying to people I probably won't meet in real life? People I don't know?
Don't let the marketers deceive you.

For those guys saying I bought fake phone, see my antutu test result oo
Also, has 3Chub ever sold fake phones before?

Good to know. In terms of expectations; can you say you expect your phone of 23k-25k to perform on the same level like the Pouvour 3 of 40k the op is discussing about?
Because if you buy any tecno device for more than call and text messaging. You will have tons of problems.

Warranty covers none-self inflicted damages on the mobile phone. Phone lagging, or not being able to handle tasks is not covered by warranty. It's that simple.

The best transission device shouldn't be more than 20k. A lowend phone shouldn't be priced like a mid-range device.

Yet you see people spending 40,50,60,70 and even 80k on a transission device... I no just understand. Even the tecno t901 I bought, am regretting, everything lags including typing a number, no even bother about opening messages because that takes its own time to load. I used to think that tecno featured devices are okay. But from now henceforth, anything transission related is a completely damaged goods to me.

there is specific limit
U don't expect 20k phones to have features of 40k phones and you can use Tecno phones for more than texting and gaming I know how many games I have played on my former Tecno from FIFA to PES to simulator games

The reason why phone makers release the specs of a phone is so you see and know to what extent the phone can perform. You don't get a phone and expect it to perform more than it was originally designed to perform. For instance, I have been using spark 2 for almost 2 years now and it has been working well.

Some one wants to sell his Redmi note 8 3/32 I asked him
why selling, ?
I tot its snapdragon it can do anything right?
, I know he wants to sell it coz its under performing and he wants to buy higher one, he tot since its xiaomi 3 gig is OK...

Den attack from every where comes up, that he can do what ever he wants with his money, but d same xiaomi users forgot that, a Tecno user can also do what ever he wants with his money...

If d guy was Tecno user and he wants to sell his phone, den u will see attack

Redmi 8 has snapdragon 435 old processor of almost 3 years in 2019 no one complained.. Xiaomi users still recommend d device and remember p22 is better than snapdragon 435 (on paper)

And the Redmi 8 is not cheap.. Also.scarce to get

But when tecno comes with p22 d same xiaomi users will be complaining

Inifinix launched hot 8 with 2gig ram

Xiaomi users are like 2gig ram in 2019?

But they forgot Samsung launch device with 2gig ram even with 1gig ram...

Xiaomi users don't even know how to convince customers they think its by force...

In as much as I understand your point.. Truth is most guys complaining about Tecno were all former users.. it's not by typing long epistles. Long story short Tecno needs to get their act together .. Xiaomi is good for the competition in the market.. That's why you can actually get a 4gb 64gb for under 50k ... More brands are sprouting and truth be told, Tecno no longer gives value for money... The redmi uses SD 439

The chipset on redmi 8 series is sd 439 not sd 435 like you said. And yes, when a xiaomi user sells his xiaomi device, it is to get a higher xiaomi device. If you are opportuned to use a xiaomi device of low-midrange you would never stop wanting to use their highend device.

The build quality, the sturdy feel, the smooth performance and the authentic materials used on their lowend device would make you want to feel their highend device even if it's for a moment.

I bought the 3G/32G variant of the redmi 8 few days ago for a friend. Seeing how awesome the device performed, I am getting the 4/64 tomorrow according to plan for a relative.

When a tecno or infinix user sells their device, they never touch anything transission again. That's how bad the transission standard for mobile device are.

Yes most are formal users , I want u to also that d different between xiaomi and Tecno is d price , Tecno is cheaper ... Every one keep saying value for money like as if xiaomi its cheap,

Value for money Are u serious
, value for money is when u use a device over a long period and it serves u without constantly changing d device, only 20% of xiaomi users retain der old phone, d rest keep changing phones any how even wen different between d later are not much..

Tecno and infinix users are much thus wen u see 5% complain it will b like its d whole Nigeria. Just close Nairaland no one will know what is xiaomi..

At d end if xiaomi wants to dominate the market they should up der game in marketing department...

How can prove that, ur last statement. So u just assume every one using infinix or Tecno are having bad experience. I can tell u that some xiaomi users still have der infinix phones along side d xiaomi, but some of them shame of admitting that phone served them well won't allow them talk because of the attack he or she will get.
Some of u dashed or sold ur phones out and those people u dashed or sold dem to are still enjoying it... Why den will u say, infinix and Tecno are not durable....
That Xiaomi is better does not mean Tecno is Bad..

Xiaomi is just better stop attacking or blaming people for purchasing something good, at least they can afford those ones
Re: I Regret Spending 40k On This Phone by Androidking: 10:07pm On Nov 28, 2019
I think I know why u guys are always angry wit Tecno and Infinix.. Its because of the way the hype der product, like the Camon 12 series and S5 series . they not even a big phones, but dey market it in big way. And I think it upset most xiaomi people seeing how low device is making front page...

Bros its called marketing strategy, overtaking is allowed, if xiaomi will copy that, they will over take, see as nonsense itel is getting small ground, with der inferior devices... The question is what is stopping xiaomi from doing so... Its der business but its not d job of Nairaland.


Besides Tecno didn't even praise the phones they just launch it normal, invite few YouTube reviewers and boom they are selling

Imagine if xiaomi launch a phone in Lagos and they invite Nigeria youtubers and give dem d phones free for review, don't u think Nairaland will be full of xiaomi too...
YouTube review will also increase.. People will get to know about it.. One important question have u seen,
Valor.
Henry
And others critise xiaomi product before, they drop good honest review in both, Infinix, Samsung, xiaomi, Tecno, etc

Samsung users didn't even attack Tecno users like this, when Tecno was building more scrab back in their earlier stage self now that they have up der games, xiaomi users start attacking. Na wow... Make una take it easy, if u don't like what u are seeing please just be an official marketer and do it in a mature way without attacking any one. Thanks all
Re: I Regret Spending 40k On This Phone by AmosAkins: 10:35pm On Nov 28, 2019
That is why I will always advise to google out the specs of a phone before purchase....
It is a 1.28 GHz quad core in 2019
embarassed embarassed
It will even have problem running subway surfers
You need 2.0Ghz for a quad core
And 1.6ghz octa core
if you wanna run games like pubg

It is also 28nm technology which means it will definitely consume more ba3 that is why tecno packed 5000mAH undecided chai!!!!!
You can try Gamers Gl tools pro apk on google or any GFx tool to enhance pubg at least BUly reducing graphics... Works
Try Greenify to reduce heat
That should help...
If it doesnt grin grin
Your next post should be
'Tecno pouvoir 3 for sale at give away price' cool

you're not making any sense.. If I'm looking for a new phone with a 80k budget , do you think I'll go for the phantom 9? Capital no!!!!! Value for money is receiving support after buying a phone... If truly you're an androidking you should know this without being told... You can keep using your phone if it gives you what you want but when thinking about changing devices, Tecno doesn't cut it.. I've been using my Nokia since last year after suffering from Tecno and I am never using anything from transion again... I was on Android 8, now 9 .. I'm still waiting for 10 whilst the camon 11 that was released is now a forgotten matter ..
