Op u ar totally right. Tecno, infinix, itel and injoo fall under these categories. Imagine tecno l8 with 5000mah and a dualcore processor or some itel devices with 5000mah and just 512mb of ram. They will always put one flaw in their phone. They can't just make a perfect device.






But if not for these chinese companies many people won't be able to afford good android phones in Nigeria.
you're right, most people won't know the feel of smartphones most especially Android smartphones.

so they've tried, but...

I bet you haven't really used a flagship phone from Brands like Zuk, Xiaomi, Meizu, Smartisan, Oneplus, etc.

Those guys produce phones that go head to head with Samsung Phones.


Not every Chinese phone is crappie, not every IPhone is good.



A good example is the attached iPhone image.


The worst phone I have ever used.
infinix, tecno and itel manufacture phones for mainly Africans and Nigerians. maybe am wrong, prove it.

easy man!

the Chinese brands you mentioned are not popular in nigeria, as a matter of fact only a handful of nigerians own those phones.

now, if you had read my post well and some reply you'd notice I never said all Chinese phones are crap. I for one love oneplus, xiaomi phones

so I don't really get you.

Chinese phone makers and their madness that's your topic and from the look on your article infinix and tecno are your best example but they're good quality brands in China that don't sell their products to Africa...

Firstly you were suppose to understand how this world works, have you seen iPhone, Samsung HTC push huge publicly to Africa when their products are being released? NO! That's because Africa is a 3rd world continent, so wether you like or not they really don't care if we buy their products... And the most reason is because over the average population of Africans cannot afford this brands

So the best option Africans especially Nigerians being the most populous nation on the black continent can't get is buy the available cheap Chinese brands... And we both know quality things comes expensive. So no one is suppose to blame this Cheap Chinese phone makers to that ships to Africa, they know the cheap phones are what Africans can afford.

I use a Xiaomi product, they're the 4th largest phone maker in world and they only focus on the Asian, European and American markets they don't care about the African market and so do Gionee too,

So no one should blame the cheap Chinese brands in Nigerian coz if you're really looking for quality, then you know it comes at a higher price
yea you're right to most extent.

these top brands don't care if we buy or not. but isn't the reason these Chinese brands who 'care' should take advantage of that to serve us mediocre devices(Note: not all their devices are mediocre).
Or what can you say about the trending powerbanks people carry about these days in the name of phones with 'good' battery?

of course, many quality electronics and computer equipment are made in china but there's difference between made in china and made for china(and developed part of the world)
in our case, they're made in china and made for Nigerians.

I noted they manufacture for mainly Africans and Nigerians in our case. You don't see tecno and infinix marketing their devices to the Americas or west Europe or even their own asia unless is the third world part of Asia.
PhonesChinese Phone Makers And Their 'madness' by henryobinna(op):
https://www.nairaland.com/moneyz/t3zpqt2imth607uh7lzobag46s6mohdg.jpg

Chinese smartphones and their 'smartphone madness'.
Prior to the advent of Chinese android smartphones only few people could afford smartphones, particularly android phones from top brands. One way or the other the chinese guys found their way into the market with ridiculously cheap smartphones. Of course that comes with it's own disadvantage which OI term 'madness of numbers'.

Chinese smartphone makers are obsessed with numbers and size, that's why the selling points of most of their smartphones are all centered on numbers and obvious big size. I'll list some of their 'madness of numbers' displayed in the past ip till this time. The 'madness' that trended the one that trends now and we'll try predict the one that'll trend.

The Camera Madness
A few months after their foray into the smartphone market, they needed to compete well and show what they could offer. Their first option was to give ridiculous number of megapixels to the smartphone cameras with nothing to show for it when one takes a photo with the camera. That makes up for the canera madness, their concern is to give(at least print) you that numbers so you'll be impressed and feel good to say 'my phone has a smartphone of 20MP'

Display Size
One who has been monitoring the smartphone market in Nigeria would notice after the camera war was over the next was smartphones with displays as large as.... maybe my laptop screen. The large display size competition didn't last long as users got tired of mini-TVs and how clumsy they become when they want to make or receive a phone calls. As a result, the Chinese phone makers moved to the next madness.


Before I move to the next madness I'll like to briefly talk on why they get away with these. The Chinese phone makers know that an average user in Nigeria doesn't know much about the technical aspects of these phones so they go ahead to capitalize on their ignorance to sell craps to them, although not all chinese phone makers sell crap and not all of their phones are craps.

Battery Madness
This is the current and trending madness, the phone makers go ahead to release phones with battery capacity of upto 6,000mah. What Nonsense!
Most of these phones have nothing else to talk about asides the battery. Basically, they're powerbanks and nothing more than that. I don't see a reason why a phone with just HD display on an LCD would have a battery of 6,000mah and above, unless we're trying to kill two birds with one stone by paying for a powerbank that can make calls and take photos. Well, it's not their fault(Even chinko know say we no get light for naija).

While these are the popular and well noticeable ones, they're not the only ones. sometimes you see a smartphone maker releasing two phones with just one slight difference and give them different names and prices.
I don't know what the next madness would be, I'm seeing flash light for secondary camera. Or maybe dual secondary camera.

You can add the ones you've noticed.

PhonesHow To Watch Youtube Videos Outside The App by henryobinna(op): 12:05pm On Sep 15, 2016
Today I'll show you how you can play videos from youtube outside the youtube app. What this means is that you can be reading your mails on your smartphone and also wacthing that music video or tutorial simultaneously.
https://cdn.makeuseof.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/flytube-youtube-android-video-popup.jpg

I'll just go straight to the point.
To Multitask With The YouTube
You'll need an app FlyTube to be able to Watch YouTube video outside the YouTube app. The FlyTube app creates a floating resize-able screen on which you the YouTube video is displayed.
While this feature is available on Samsung devices (Those with TouchWiz), it isn't available for the rest android smartphones. That is when the FlyTube app comes to play.

Direct download link FlyTube is available at the source.

No!
they're not going after Snapchat.
WhatsApp is a text messaging app while Snapchat isn't.
WhatsApp is just adding some features to make texting interesting and sweet.
moreover, no one would dump Snapchat for WhatsApp. it's safe to say, all Snapchat users also have and use WhatsApp to text and call their friends.

though I'm more of an Android fanboy, I won't advice anyone to buy the Note 7 right now cos of the battery-fire issue.

it'll be better you wait a little for return of the Note 7 which will be branded refurbished. once Note 7 is back, forget this iPhone 7 and its mediocre airpods.

You absolutely won't need this list then.
PhonesRe: Im Tired Of Tecno Im Thinking Of Switching To Huawei Should I?? by henryobinna(m): 5:16pm On Sep 09, 2016
yes go for Huawei if you have enough cash for their device.
I could say they're an international brand and that means their smartphones pass through some form of testing. unlike tecno that sells to majorly Africans and Nigeria in particular.

You and I know, there's no form of electronic testing these devices go through before being released to the market.
