Haba! In the bid to save money. You can't even raise your wife's class to about 30k? Smh. At least, a good camera phone for selfies, she would like. You no even think am. Common Camon C8 you no fit use gift am. Na wa you o

I am sure you are paid by Tecno to the hatched job them, you are all over phone section trying to promote an over priced phone. Is there any harm in the guy's choices of UMI Iron for himself and Infinix hot2 for his wife? Must he buy a Tecno phone? SMH

The argument about this phone is not on its capabilities but the price, no doubt it is a good phone with top specs any flagship device could boost of, but there are many phones in its class some with even better specs and yet cost less than 50k is Tecno trying to sell brand name or a phone?why is Tecno trying to follow the footsteps of Samsung, iPhone etc? Please watch this YouTube video of Ulefone Be touch 2, it's a durability test of the screen, watch how the screen is smashed on a hard object, scratch with a nail etc. With all this features this phone is just 47k.

as far as I know all Gionee phones are rugged and durable, I used P1 P2 P3 P4 M2, I still have my have my P2 for three years now alive and kicking though relegated to just phone calls and messages, maybe you were unlucky with your former Gionee but I can assure you this phone won't disappoint you.

This phone is equal to if not better than this Tecno and there are many of them like Ulefone B touch 2, Xiaomi redmi note 2 etc all below 50k. Tecno defrauding Nigerians since 1800.

OP how much is the phone?

This thread is misleading, there is actually nothing bad about the phone, if someone is selling his after few days of purchase that doesn't mean the phone is bad maybe the phone is not what he was expecting, maybe he was expecting a 100k performance in a 19k phone. I noticed someone here who is running from pillar to post in every thread trying to discredit the phone, he would dismissed anything good said about it and quick to point out a bad thing, well the phone is still selling faster than any other phone in that category.

iheanyi40:
bro is d halo KitKat or truly lollipop 5.1 ?

I'm sure it is lollipop 5.1 because that's what they advertise the phone with, the mix up in that website is an error from innjoo.

guydangerous:
Innjoo fire plus price?

27k for fire plus, 14k for Halo.

tunex4christ:
THATS A PROBLEM WITH ASPHALT ITSELF... I HAVE HEAVY GAMES AND IT ALL WORKS FINE.. GTA SA, Virtua tennis, riptide gp2..i even had mortal kombat x but deleted it cus of insufficient memory...

you have time to dignify that comment?

You guys should try kingroot V4.5, it can root any mtk device with strong network connection.

adrusa:
The screen is blurry, dim (even at the brightest level) and generally poor quality. I suggest that you see one before buying. Don't fall for the hype, like I did.

A phone with 5" inch IPS screen, HD resolution of 1280x720 with a ppi of 294 can never have a dull or blurred display unless you are telling lies or you bought a defective phone, because you are the only one here among the users that complain about the display.

The above pictures shows an impressive improvement from tecno in terms of camera when you compared this to their previous phones but there's nothing special about C8's camera since it can not beat Infinix zero 2 hands down, it doesn't worth the hype yet some people want to compare it to iPhone 6. All the pictures used in advertising the phone may be fake after all.

StarboyMichael:
To me, 2Gb Ram is the only selling point for this phone, every other spec is so so. I'm still trying to understand the bland feel

apart from 2gb ram it has a HD screen at an unbeatable price of 19,500.

I used hifont on different types of phones, Gionee P2, P4, Tecno P5, M3, Lenovo A536. Font have never bricked my phone.

niceguy7:
Hw cn this phone be rooted?

Kingroot app.

Chikote:
Of course man... just like you did now, I was doing too. Everyone is giving their opinions. Which I think is cool enough. The Nokia Lumia 720 is a camera centric phone and it's RAM is half that of the Camon C8. Soo? I'm also for let's wait and see, you know?

Lumia is a Windows phone, it runs on the most fluid OS that is windows, it doesn't need more RAM like Android device. Meanwhile I have read a comprehensive review of the Camon C8 on geek.ng and I must say the camera is quite impressive even though it lost against Huawei Honor 6 in low light shooting. The first pic was taken with Camon C8 while the second pic taken with Huawei Honor 6, both pictures were taken without flashlight.

Chikote:
Trample? In what aspect? Apart from the later 'possibility' in OS upgrade, both still have same OS. So, where's the trampling if Camera and Battery already killed your hot 2?

RAM!!!! you know it matters a lot, you can't expect 1gb ram phone to perform the way a 2gb ram would, even the display of hot 2 is slightly better than the C8 though they have the same resolution of 720x1280 but hot 2 has a higher ppi 294 against C8 267. Regarding the battery and camera of C8 I think we should wait until the phone is out because I have seen a 3000mah battery that performs worse than a 2000mah battery, and likewise an 8mp camera could be better than a 13mp, it is about the camera sensor not the number of pixels. I am not saying C8's camera and Battery are not good but we should until we have a hands on review before concluding that it's better than the hot 2.

donhils:
It will be on Konga soon and more expensive there.

nah you don't understand how konga works, it's an open market with many resellers. A particular product will have different prices from different sellers on Konga. If you are buying a product from konga make sure to check out who the seller is, if konga is the seller(not those many of its resellers) be sure to enjoy three things
1. Official price of the product.
2. Free Shipping.
3. Pay on delivery.

Op I am also disappointed in your thread, at first I thought you have received your phone and started using it then discovered something bad about it but to my disappointment you have only watch an online review.

Y3 or Y4 are the latest tecno phones in that price range.

Marvell23:
Infinix hot 2 is back , contact daremarvellous , jumia sales agent for fast order placement and delivery on whatsapp 08156636487 or text me ur delivery address, ur name and phone number, the colour u need

Again! The phone is out of stock this morning. I said it this phone could break another record for sales.

At N19,500 this phone spells bad market for Tecno Camon C8, it will be the best selling phone of 2015. There's no way tecno can meet up to the challenge unless they will sell their Camon C8 at this price.

Battery! Battery! Battery! Most of you are still using phones with a smaller battery than this, 2200mah is not that bad as you people are portraying it infinix hot has 2000mah and people are still buying it like groundnut.

CertifiedSamuel:
Fingers Crossed!

Yeah there is still room for surprises, may be they will unveil two phones today? I don't think so.

safas20:
am sure it will break more than record... aw much do u think it will cost?

Less than 20k I think because infinix is partnering with Google to bring "android one" phone to Nigeria. The idea of Android one project is to give consumers affordable smartphones at less than $100, the project was started in India.

dukeo:
confirmed

Exactly what I expected, the price will determine whether the phone will break the record of of its predecessor infinix hot as the best-selling phone in Nigeria last year.

youngberry001:
abeg one of my friend dey argue me said gionee m2 pass infinix hot pls guys which one gud pass?

they have almost the same specs but M2 has an advantage of bigger battery 4000mah and better camera 8mp while infinix hot has an advantage of 16gb rom.

Not much difference between the two phablets.

Well I said it in another thread, the hottest one is likely going to be an upgraded infinix hot, turns out I may be right.

The hottest one is likely going to be an advanced infinix hot with some improvements like maybe 2gb ram, 8mp camera and or a better display (HD). I don't think it would be anything better than hot note pro.

Horluwahighdee:
the phone is ok but the battery life is poor....that's the major problem it has... you can get the phone if you are the type that doesn't press phone that much....am using it currently and am enjoying it...

But a lot of fire users here on nairand give testimonies of good battery life, most of them said it is better than infinix hot, how comes yours is different?

Vickyamiable:
Were U Able To Buy On Konga And It Was Free Delivery, Where In Jos Do U Live?

read my post again and yes it was free delivery, I picked up my infinix hot at DHL office Rwan Pam Street back in February. Please study the pictures below and spot the difference between Konga and Jumia, the last pic is from Jumia you can see why many of us here preferred Konga.
