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?
