E choke!

alizma:
If you are among those people that always look down on Tecno, you should be ashamed of your inability to learn true life situation from Tecno.
Whoever think Tecno( chinko that year) will become a household name in Nigeria and Africa at large?
Consistency, perseverance, adherence to constructive criticism/suggestions keep them going from one step of the ladder to the other, going higher and higher.

reasons you should shine your eyes and see a real gold

TECNO Mobile one of Africa's biggest smartphone brand has released the Android 12 Preview Beta build for it lastest device TECNO Camon 17. The device which was launched earlier this month has become the first MediaTek SoC smartphone and one of first 8 devices to receive the Android 12 Preview Beta update.

TECNO Mobile also took part in the Android 11 beta testing in 2020. Back then, they rolled out a pre-release build of Android 11 for the TECNO Spark 4 Powered MediaTek.

This Android 12 developer Preview release is for developers and provides new features needed to improve the compatibility and development of your applications for the new version of Android.

As with previous versions, Android 12 includes behavior changes to help improve performance, battery life, security, and privacy. In some cases, these changes can affect apps until they are updated to support Android 12, so you might see impacts ranging from minor issues to more significant functionality limitations.

The stable version of the Android 12 will also be made available once Google finalized the necessary components.

The update can be installed manually here: https://spot.tecno.com/ng/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=145026

bennyefosa19:
both seem like good phone but i think the tecno camon 17 pro is a tad bit better because of the upgraded mediatek processor.

funny when our network providers only gave us the 4g lite! those devices with 5g/5gcpe are they really experiencing it?

Eyanbahose:

Well you just made it simple now to believe and confirmed what they said they used

Guys, I decided to run a speed test on the new Tecno Camon 17 pro and the result i got was somethings else so i decided to compare it with two of the best midrange smartphone money can buy today, the Redmi note 10 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy A52. Trust me, I'm blown away, you won't believe the result. Just watch the video to see it for yourself.

Wow is this available now in nigeria?

All phones in the Tecno Camon 17 series are pretty good when it comes to matching the specs and features with the given price. The Camon 17 Pro is the best out of them with the best Helio G95 gaming processor

Oh you mean there's no CAMON 17 variants with 8gig RAM?

Kakadancefreak:
Bros! Abeg where you hear your own from?

Probably you re mixing up Spark7p which is even not the storage capacity.

The PRO or the normal one

Mohbola:

Sapiosexuall:

saratackit:
Now that you said it is common is any quick solution visible now for the users

Join kenny blaq on stage cuz you re funny YOU go still buy a crap even when you know it is OK

ahmemmygrey:
Leave am like that
We go still buy am

I much preferred that you take it to take the PRO at CARLCARE CENTRE you can even swap it for the latest device

but am sure you'd find a solution to it there

Sapiosexuall:
Good day. So my mum was using a Tecno Spark 3 and the phone accidentally fell in water. She took the phone to different repairers and they said they would need to replace the phone's power IC or so but they could not salvage the phone.

The charging notification light comes on when the phone is plugged to a charger but the phone does not turn on. I'm considering buying a new panel for the phone and I think this should work.

I need advice on whether the phone can still be repaired or I should change the panel. I'm in Abuja.

But you said it yourself that they have CAMON 17, CAMON 17p and CAMON 17 PRO.... with different specs and prices
it's good they considered all these and factored them into a different budget

Nicely shared!

Falconx47:
Reparability - That's the word!

I am inspired to write this because of a recent video I stumbled upon on youtube, which reaffirmed a viewpoint I've always had.

Nowadays, manufacturers of smartphone seem to be doing everything possible to take away the ability to repair their gadgets, should any minor damage happen to it from the users, this is aimed at forcing such consumers to buy the next new thing.

Two most popular ways they do this is by making the components integrated or expensive, or restricting the parts supply or expertise for repairs. In both cases the result is an impossible/difficult to repair device or a very costly to repair device (so much that sometimes, you're just better off buying a new one - which is their aim anyway).

This is firstly unhealthy to the pockets of low income earners, and unnecessary spending to even people that can afford new devices all the time. Looking at the bigger picture, this practice also leads to generation of large amounts of e-waste, resources used to make these products are quite finite, I won't delve into the children who are dying in congo...so that big brands can make hyped components. But of course the makers don't care...they're here for profit, no matter the cost to the planet.

So when next that new latest device is launched, and all the hype, unboxing and review around it starts raving and you start feeling pressure to buy...take a minute to research into the reparability of the device, simply put if this my phone falls and the screen breaks, will I be able to change it? How easy or costly will it be?

That will help a lot in buying sustainable brands and products, Nigeria is only a section of the market and nairaland is even a more micro section of this market, but factoring reparability into buying decisions and spreading the word could go a long way to forcing this manufacturers to stop seeing users the way drug dealers see addicts...

Edit...

Since someone mentioned it, there are ways to find out if a smartphone is easily reparable before you buy.

The supplier's repair service, does the maker of this device have committed parts and repairs service from the outset?

History of that particular brand, the older generations and versions of phones from this maker, how durable were they? If they got spoiled, were they reparable? And at what cost? etc.

My own method is teardown videos (this might be boring for someone who isn't tech savvy), but teardown videos on YouTube shows you bit by bit of how the components of every phone that comes out are assembled, this way it's easy to know how difficult it will be to uncouple a device or switch a part.

Another way could be to ask questions, ask a good phone repair guy, very good tech and repair people stay ahead of development, so they usually know what a new phone is made of, before they start breaking and needing repairs.

In any case, the idea is to buy things that are durable, and that can repair is they sustain a minor damage, better for your budget, better for our world.

100% so clean and attractive from the specs to the price

Mohbola:
The phones are so lovely to hold

“Camera Technology Innovation Smartphone Gold Award” CONFIRMED!

Yinksy09:
The device is worth it

Thats cool!

Veiniously:
Yes I bought this one from easy buy Nigeria

I waka follow you jare, durability with good specs at an affordable price, when the upgrade is available we MOVE!

MartinsD12:
Just one out of many flagship tecno phones, pova, camon 16, 16pro 16 premier all stuck on Android 10, that's the major problem facing tecno or transsion phones even xiaomi with their problematic upgrades dey upgrades Sha but then when it comes giving us the buyers what we need transsion tecno dey on try but if you are someone like me who cherish durability over upgrade then that camon 17 is definitely going to last four years of usage but I wish tecno can send Android 12 updates when it comes out
