Inquisitive Universe: Good morning family.
When you live in noisy Nigeria and you need to create videos, then you have to do it in the wee hours of the morning. When the world is asleep.
I just spent one hour of my life that I'll never get back watching the Tecno Phantom X launch and I was disappointed.
I didn't even finish it to be honest.
I mean Tecno are improving. Once upon a time, they'd have offered us a budget Helio P22 as a Flagship or a P35 max with generic 13MP cameras of which only one was usable. So this is a great achievement for the company.
About 5 years ago, I was a huge fan. I still have my Pouvoir 2 and L9+ boxes at home with me here and I wish them all the best.
I'm on my keyboard crafting a comprehensive post but this is a safe space where we can throw around our thoughts, ideas and first impressions.
5 here for a company that never touches screen protection or protectors is a huge leap.
Big screen, super Amoled FHD+ 90hz display
A11, HiOS 7.6, Helio G95
50MP main camera, 13MP telephoto, 8MP Ultrawide
48+8MP selfies
4700mAh battery with 33W fast charge
These are all decent specs. Good specs even.
The problem is...
They are midrange specs.
I wouldn't like to bore you too much with the specs right now.
Lemme stick with the launch.
Frank Edoho was the presenter. If you watched Silver bird TV between 2004 to 2009/10 (off the top of my head), you must have definitely seen him on the show "Who wants to be a millionaire?"
He looked out of shape and out of practice.
The Tecno manager lady had no idea what she was doing.
So when I saw Miss Techy, I was relieved, a tech person who would come and tell us about the phone...
Boy was I disappointed. ��♂️
The launch felt more like a show. It had dancers, a ballerina and a mini orchestra. The focus was on everything but the phone itself.
And this isn't new.
Tecno tends to market their devices as lifestyle items, the way you would market handbags, wristwatches, clothing etc.
It is disappointing.
The only Tech person there had to look at a screen and reading it like an unprepared lecturer to her students.
How did I read the body language? Because I lectured using projectors for two years plus.
The event felt hurriedly rushed.
In the audience, there was no tech person there. Just celebrities. Many of whom were past their sell by date.
If you haven't watched the launch of the original iphone in 2007, then you definitely should make time for it and watch the late Steve Jobs talk about the phone.
To wrap it up, let's look at the price!
228k can buy me a Samsung Galaxy A52 and A72, Redmi-note-10-pro, Poco X3 Pro, Mi 10T, Mi Note 10, an iPhone X series phone and I'll have change to eat at Foodland.
This is the epitomy of overselling what a phone can do and then over pricing it. all these your shalaye sef |

A big part of why LG's mobile division (sadly) bit the dust was simple: lack of brand recognition caused by poor marketing.

skywalker240: Epilogue
Yesterday we read here on Nairaland that a popular mobile phone brand in Africa, Transsion precisely unveiled it's latest device from its flagship line, in an occasional graced with celebrities from Nigeria and some influencers. Am sure we're all aware, so let's move away from that.
Note
This thread was not created to bash, defame or tarnish the image of this brand, but just some observations that should be made known for the public who MAY BE are hoping to buy. so they can get to reason, access and analyze before coming to a concrete decision. This might also be long, just pardon my typos.
There are 3 observations i came across which are very poor considering the fact that we're talking about flagship here, flagships are meant to be a little perfect if that's the right word.
There are a lot of shortcomings on this particular flagship device, but am just going to pick 3 i believe plays an important to determine a Worthy device.
Here are three things I observed
LIKE CAMON 15 PREMIER, LIKE PHANTOM X UNVEILING THE MONUMENTAL DISASTERS
You might be wondering why I said the CAMON 15 PREMIER right?
There are three mistakes that would make this device never be termed as a flagship.
1 A mid-range chipset is meant to be used on a mid-range phone, and
A flagship chipset is meant to be used on a flagship phone that's what notable brands do irrespective of competition from other brands or Target market whatsoever
It's not New to the geeks over here, the Helio G95 chipset falls in the mid-ranger class the higher side though, but it is still termed a mid-ranger you can ask our veterans like atheistandproud or head to the official site of Mediatek and see for yourselves
The Mediatek Helio G95 chipset falls in the mid-ranger and so therefore you are gonna get a mid-range performance come what may.
FIRST MISTAKE
The Tecno CAMON 17pro which is a mid-range phone from Transsion comes with the Helio G95, therefore it's expected to give you a mid-range performance
So what the hell is a mid-range chipset doing in a supposed flagship device??
You can't alter the nature of technology in this particular case, so this flagship would definitely give you a mid-range performance
2 Would Android 13 update be gauranteed? It's not a hidden fact, over the years Transsion has been known to always overlook this issue on their phones considering the price of this device and expecting Android 13 early January of 2022 would this device be a good buy?
SECOND MISTAKE
Tecno always leave their customers in suspense, in regards to Android upgrades and then at the end of the day, they upgrade to another Android version.
Yes but it's actually by unveiling another device making the customer pay for that one if he/she wants a taste of the latest os update
Tecno did not specify if this device would get Android 13 update neither are we sure it would (suspense) but if a so called flagship device can't even gaurantee Android update then it's really worth it's hype?
3 PRICE
UNVEILING THE SCAM TENDENCIES[/color
If you might recall, back in the year 2019 December (i think so) Tecno unveiled it's flagship device for that year the CAMON 15 PREMIER (which actually was not a flagship if you're talking from the technical point of view)
This device came with an entry level chipset Mediatek Helio p35 precisely
But the shocking thing is that this device was first sold for 95k and then later the price was increased to 115k-120k
Now you're still wondering why I said like CAMON 15 PREMIER LIKE PHANTOM X? relax we're just getting started.
Tecno openly wrote on her site that this device CAMON 15 PREMIER comes with a whopping 64mp Sony camera. The Fallacy
How is picture bining technology possible on an entry level chipset to get to the level of 64mp?
Initially Mediatek stated that the Helio p35 can only support 15mp camera (so I think)
I still remember how we retweeted Zesushvwritter request made to Tecno official Twitter handle requesting for proof of bining technology with the Sony camera, till this day, we never heard any response from them.
[color=indigo]THIRD MISTAKE
Back to the phantom X
If you must know, am yet to see any brand that is retailing a Mediatek Helio G95 chipset device for over 225k, quote me anywhere, I'll pay you in cash, what an unexplainable despicable abomination?
Don't get me wrong, this device comes with some nice features like gorilla glass 5, AMOLED display, 90hz refresh, laser, Ella etc and truly speaking, it's a nice device first of it's kind from this brand
But the main question, what's the worthiness if the flagship performs in the mid-range level?
CAMON 17pro a mid-range phone with a mid-range chipset was retailed for 125k-130k
Phantom X a flagship phone with exact same mid-range chipset is sold for 228k-230k
Bearing in mind that the both of them have same mid-range chipset so same performance is expected, so why in petes name is the phantom X over 100k more expensive?
Who knows the definition of SCAM and a MONUMENTAL DISASTER? Guy you get talent sha 1 Like 2 Shares |
