iGotTech:
u better stay with the brand you love

Viktor1983:
I don't care bout trends, I've noticed you on every tecno thread..u be marketer?
anyways if u gimme discount voucher I'll take tecno instead..
I don't care about those head phones, I just need affordable 4g LTE device...
if Infinix hot 3 LTE is 36k, I won't go for Boom j8 at 41k, that's how Nigeria is right now.

bhybhar:
1gb ram?? too small for these features!!

Xhaka:
Phantom5 na 1Gb ram

Xhaka:
Add 1k and get Boom j8, bet you'd love it.

mrprezident007:
So I must buy the TECNO boom J8 to stand a chance?? @OP you can bless me with one sah. Tains hin advance.

Harlequin17:
All expense paid trip? off to get my own boom j8 ☺☺

Cliveglobal1:
Exactly Lol, Money no de Now o. But I really want to get that Boom J8. If Possibly, Qualify for Paris!

Baadal:
Add 5k and i'll give u a brand new Tecno boom J8 ....call 08025220285 if interested

Sanchez01:
The 1k is not the issue. Is the J8 sold for 46k?

Orator2383:
You wanna jump the queue? That is the key requirement for winning ooo.

Viktor1983:
Go for tecno Boom j8, it has everything u need in a phone , just that it's 2Gb RAM....
it has 4G LTE specs: B2/7/20....
according to folks at mobility.ng and misstechy. com this device works with smile 4glte sim...

oginineme:
According to OP I think it works only on the HiOs enabled phone, which is Boom J8 or TECNO camon C8

oginineme:
You bought the phone already?? You guys should show some love to a sister

oginineme:
Who are all these broke guys, do you know the meaning of ladies first??

Sanchez01:
Thanks. I believe from the posts, it's safe enough to assume the Boom J8 is good enough. I'm getting it. Thanks once again.

ForeverNew:
All these guys buying the J8 without buying for their boo, God is watching you oo

Viktor1983:
also There's another Infinix on the pipeline, the Infinix hot LTE...Word around says it's to retail for N36,000....comes with snap dragon processor..
Don't know much about the specs but I think it will be same spec with Hot 3+ snapdragon +LTE.

Two things became obvious at the end of March 2016. One: Android is still a learner when it comes to gaming and two: smartphones have become boring.

Sure, the iPhone SE was a pleasant (MTN Style) attempt at diversifying Apple's line up, the Galaxy S7 can fall in a bucket of water, the G5 has an accessory slot, the HTC 10 is the purest form of android and even our own Boom J8 is the pinnacle of sound. But that's genuinely all there is to each of them. These devices have not redefined the way we use our phones, nor have they blown anybody away with unbelievable speeds, or wowed PHCN with extraordinary battery life. So who e epp?

Each of these new phones is merely a marginal improvement over the previous model. And they're all actually remarkably similar in some ways. The Android phones all feature the exact same processor (The J8 stacks up with the likes of Hot 3). They're all using fast charge batteries that get you up to 50% battery life in a matter of minutes. They all have 1440p displays (Sadly the J8 and Hot 3 are still touting meager 720p displays) that are pretty damn amazing. They all have slabs of glass and metal that will fall from Transcorp and survive and still be slick enough to be a fashion accessory for bae.

The only differences between them are in the minute details. This one dey swim, or that wan dey come with free data. This one get HiOs while the other one na TouchWiz. The few phones that still excite people are the "mumu" ones (I dey look iPhone now).

Phone designs have reached the ceiling. The wild advances we've seem for the last 10 years are winding off. They're fast enough to play 1080p video without breaking (something that wasn't even possible in 2014) and the camera's can snap an edo witch in the night. Even the screens have improved. In fact only developing markets like ours still get super budget phones with below par displays.

The challenge is no longer finding a good phone-it's finding a bad one. And that isn't a bad thing (unfortunately for all out tech bloggers). Stability in design and marginal improvements in speed and battery life means you don't have to upgrade your phone as often. Which is great now that most phones don dey chop the same money as house rent. People ain't buying like they used to. Apple and Samsung have reported downslide in their sales growth in the last two quarters...is the magic fading already?

So today I can walk into the market and buy an infinix or Tecno device and still get everything including the newly launched Ntel 4G service and someone using an S7 would look at his bank statement and ask: This 2016 model sef...who e epp?

Cliveglobal1:
Why don't you add Small Money and get her the New Tecno Boom J8 Instead, I bet she'll love you Forever.

Viktor1983:
i saw it here http://infinixmobility.com/smartphone/hot3-lte/

I'm actually waiting for it, my Infinix hot served me well, I'm going to stick with the brand.
if I wait and it doesn't drop then will go for tecno Boom j8.

paulworld:
Everything about this phone is over rated Jare, so many different unnecessary thread about one phone.

paulworld:
Sorry for the quote, bros please ss the advanced panel of this Cal. who uses a cal without advanced panel in 2016

AdemolaGoc:
Okay, so I'm tired of all this talk and misinformation. So let me give my two cents, as someone who has used the two phones. "Everything" about the boom j8 isn't exaggerated. The speakers ain't loud like that, but what is lacks in volume, it makes up for in quality audio output. The speakers of the gionee m5 are clearly louder, but I don't agree the audio quality is better. For the volume with earpiece, I actually used mtk engineering to increase the volume of the m5 to 145 before I started enjoying it, while the j8 does a decent job with earpiece. For the camera, the m5 is more colorful, but that's where it stops. For detail and clarity, the j8 trumps it, even in low light. The m5's camera in low light gets 's pixelated it's annoying. But take a picture with the j8 in low light and zoom in, it retains it's quality. At the end of the day, I found out that the m5 was more battery than software and trust me it gets tiring. For software, ui and interaction, the j8 murders it, no bias! I actually sold the m5 today after much consideration, and I don't miss it. For them guys that want loud volume, increase the volume with mtk engineering if you want, it'll still retain audio quality. ✌

Elxandre:
I don't wanna be rude, but I'm really pissed with the Tecno marketing on this thread.


I clearly stated I'm familiar with the Tecno and Infinix options didn't I?

magni101:
Guys between Infinix Note 2 and the boom J8, which of them is better? Let's consider the front and rear cameras o!

vicstar:
zzzzZZZZ .

MrFord1:
The first picture and the last picture are okay. The second picture and the third picture are not okay. View them on a desktop or laptop, you will know what am talking about.

TeeFeh:
