So you all know I am not stringing you along why actually doing nothing.
The load is enormous, the burden is heavy. But this is for a good cause, in this I lie not.

Reply from Sony to my inquisition concerning the camon 15 premier, you tell me what you deduce from this.


Remember the question to ask on twitter is this;
"which of the @Sony 64mp image sensor is present on the @TECNOMobileNG camon 15 premier?"

Hmm

Reading up on this thread, I admire your zeal to bring about a revolution in Nigeria mobile tech space. Concerning the reply from Sony, it could mean either of the following;
1. Probably can't answer your query cos it's a "non-sony" product
2. Question is being avoided, business ethics and all

Only hope is to wait for DXO reply and review eventually... Unless Transsion pulls a Figgers Wireless move on them (Flossy Carter fans understands). All the same, keep up. When the time reach to slap some sense and force a change or show them the exit door, I'm all in.

Who buys S20 and roots it to install custom roms? Android have developed past the stage where u have to be rooting every phones to install custom roms. Na wetin those roms get wey better pass wetin Samsung put for One UI?

All na preference, sometimes the ROMs are better in some cases.

Yellowblack:
Hv change Charing port.... They say it my dash board

Carlcare or them local engineers?
Anyway my advice to you is to save up and buy another phone if you fix it or use it as it is.

It's spark 2 ooo

Your charging port might be bad and needs replacement. You sha know what to do.

There's been an uproar in the Samsung community, and the recent one caused by a wallpaper. Seems unrealistic I know but since Samsung has been having a pretty bad year, from the Exynos movement to complaints about the screen.

Twitter user and Samsung leakster @universeIce tweeted a warning about a certain wallpaper which caused his Samsung device to crash and bootloop. Unfortunately, most users didn't take his warning seriously and ended up using said image as a wallpaper. Their reactions... You get the idea.

Digging through some sites and sources, a reddit user xanaxdroid_ found out why the image caused devices to crash. The crash was caused because the image had the embedded color profile Google/Skia/E3CADAB7BD3DE5E3436874D2A9DEE126, which he assumed was encoded incorrectly to crash systemui since Android uses Skia in their frameworks. What this means is the code in SystemUI is trying to read the exposure of the photo. The histogram code can't read the exposure correctly which causes it to crash. In layman's terms, the color profile used on the image is RGB as opposed to sRGB that Android uses. Normally all images are supposed to be converted to sRGB unless specified by the developer but in this case there's a rare bug that calculates the luminance of each pixel of the image to exceed 255 and the image luminance is 257.

He went on to remove the color profile and has since then not experienced any crashes whatsoever. Several reddit users pointed out that the color profile can be removed from the image or any image that has a color profile wrongly implemented by using Photoshop, Gimp, Ms paint or what I call the best solution for the non-tech community, screenshot.

Should you ever get curious to try this - no I'm not dropping links to the bugged image - the only solution apart from a hard reset is to be quick in changing your wallpaper. There's a 10-second window from when you gain control of your phone to change the wallpaper to a bug free one. Unless you're the Flash, a renowned keyboard warrior or you have the gallery icon on your home screen a hard reset/factory reset is the only way around this.

With this recent development, Google is aware of this issue and are conducting it's own tests to see if they can fix the issue and determine if it might be an exploit. For your information, a single pixel or two in this case is what's causing the whole issue, not the image itself.
Should you want the full works, drop by on XDA.

Update 1 - it affects some devices apart from Samsung.

Update 2 - Android 10 below are affected. Though not all devices are but I advise you not to play Russian roulette with your phone. LineageOS devs dropped a patch for this problem on Gerrit. Links should be available on their telegram group.

Sources - XDA, Reddit, Twitter

Justifications here and there... It's well

legionISproteus:
The cooling system on this phone was properly designed

Honestly it was

[quote author=Baadal post=90358867][/quote]Looks like exynos variant. Anyhow enjoy your phone.

legionISproteus:
Whoa! You mean the exynos is easier to root? That's nice

I'd prefer the Snapdragon version because it performs better than exynos especially under prolonged heavy usage. These days rooting your android device makes no sense

Yes the exynos variant is easy to root than the snapdragon variant and while it might not make sense, sometimes it does, like there's lots of ROM to choose from that's kinda better than the one current device and flashing kernels helps tremendously.

Just imagine... Yet someone will come and tell me this phone is a steal for that price. I pity some people

Stanl3y:
I believe the snapdragon variant is available to only the US and China market?? The rest of the world gets the Exynos variant which is pretty much what you'll find in the Nigerian market.
The point is, the snapdragon is indeed better but the difference isn't so much so the Exynos 990 is pretty powerful too.

True that, but one can get the snapdragon variant, factory unlocked too here in Nigeria if he/she knows where to look.

edoairways:
Xiaomite as they call them keep on derailing tecno's thread. If they don't derail,they push already existed threads or better still create another with the acclaimed aim of educating people whereas it has ulterior motive. Xiaomi has a thread with many pages, you only see acclaimed tecno fans when the xiaomite rain abuse and rants.

Brand bashing is normal but in this case, it's special as some are coming off the brand after doing their homework on the brand (Transsion) and are lashing out which I understand.

edoairways:
Be as it may be, if you want to educate people, educate them without tagging tecno.

This one would be hard to do. Tecno is the proverbial black sheep in the eyes of them enlightened here in Nigeria.

edoairways:
If xiaomi wants to sell, they should use a better approach because this one would worsened things for them. The abuses and ranting would make intending buyers to reconsider if this issues persist.

Same abuse and rants was what made me have an interest in xiaomi phones in the first place. Sure it's unethical but it's what has piqued the interest of most Nigerians.

edoairways:
An average Nigeria only knows camera, battery capacity and phone size, few are technological incline. So when you lecture or teach, expose them to detail analysis without even mentioning a brand., doing so would attract people to your side.

The average Nigerian believes that the bigger the number, the better.
And I don't believe in teaching/learning without detailed examples.
@bolded is just wrong. The hell would be attracted about an analysis without mentioning a brand?
Atheistandproud did such analysis with examples and I truly enjoyed it cos it was fully educative, Gsmarena mentions alternatives after each review, be it post was sponsored or not.
If it were me, I'd laugh, do my research, call out the brand in another thread and insult you for insulting my intelligence.

Stanl3y:
Go for the S20 it's the best at the moment.

You get QHD 563 PPI Dynamic AMOLED screen with 120 Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ with a bezel less screen that dominates the front.

8GB RAM, 128GB ROM and it has a SD Card slot, something missing on the iPhone 11 and Exynos 990 Chipset is one of the best in the world at the moment only behind iPhone 11 A13 and Snapdragon 865 though (the difference is really slim tbh)

The Camera is absolutely world class. the best in photography! only the iPhone 12 might rival the prowess of its camera.

The UI is fluid and easy to navigate. One UI is the best Android skin and it's android 10 out of the box.

Gorilla glass 6 front and back protection. ip68 water and dust resistant.

25W fast charging and 9W Reverse wireless charging for charging other devices from your phone.

Overall the device is a beast and I'm a Samsung user and currently i use the S20 Ultra. You won't regret getting the S20 or S20 plus, that i assure you. However if you've always got a thing for iOS then go for the iPhone 11. But if you want the best of the best Samsung S20 offers that. Cheers!

Exynos 990 strong point is it's single core performance and easy root, other than that I'd suggest OP get the snapdragon variant.

That's a falcon

Held a baby falcon, made the mistake of putting my finger on its claws. It almost didn't end well for my finger as it had a nasty grip. Panicked that day cos I thought I inoculated myself with God knows what.

edoairways:
Does that warrant their insults and abuse on every threads?

For starters,
1. The acts of the mods around here has prevented most threads to start and end in a civil manner
2. Some people's ignorance can trigger some people
3. Strong words must be employed for some, there are those amongst us who communicate that way
4. Out of everyone you and some here tag as a xiaomite has had a bad experience with Transsion devices and in their quest to find the "perfect phone", they've used or handled at least one xiaomi device

Finally, not everyone wants to remain in the past, technology is making great strides and I amongst others wants to be there when it's happening, not years later when another innovation is in the works.
If Transsion can REALLY get with the times, believe me the hate will reduce drastically.

edoairways:
There is no day these xiaomite doesn't insult those who criticize them. Just imagine what this dude wrote at bolded. If they ban him he cries foul

Ban or not, there's others that'll still call out Transsion for their bad practices so keep looking for excuses to report.
For your information, I currently use an LG phone, G8 to be precise and don't bloody call me a xiaomite.
Me enjoying their device doesn't mean you have the right for slap a "fanatic" label on me.
And if I defend them so what? I'll do it to brands that got my utmost respect, not brands that sees one as cash cows with brain cells to rival a gerbil which unfortunately...

sajmark:
transsion should just liquidate ITEL and inject the money and effort into making tecno and infinix better.

They won't. They'll just carry all the money and dash our celebrities

edoairways:
Because you are spoiling a brand.

Le onye nzuzu
Since when has honest reviews become brand spoiling eh?
You prefer this device with the specs and the 6+yrs old unisoc chip for crying out loud to be sold for that price?
If I wish evil on you will you like it?(of course you won't)
There's literally better options than this like OP said and the only unreasonable thing you could think of and post is brand spoiling.... You need help.

Karex81:
I pray it's true, ray tracing on mobile phones .

Adding a whole new meaning to immersion

Karex81:
Take it with a pinch of salt, it could be actually true. AMD wants to enter phone market, through Samsung. They won't make much profit partnering with Samsung, so it likely they will start thier own mobile Soc series. Either be on it own or sell thier gpu to other oem.

You have a point but with the hype around it this time, Samsung might make a profit this time.
Only izh is they shouldn't sell the division to Samsung or worse Apple like they did Radeon (which is currently Adreno GPU) to Qualcomm. The licensing route is a better option.

Redmi note 8 but if na iPhone you want, rather buy iPhone 7 instead of 6S.

Karex81:
Guys amd is coming to the smartphone market, more competition (Rumored)
Check link https://www. gizmochina.com/2020/06/02/amd-ryzen-c7-soc-leak/ remove space btw . and g.
Qualcomm monopoly is too much

Jesus Christ the specs!!!
This would revolutionize gaming on phones, mostly emulators and a handful of other titles for the mobile platform provided the leak is legit.

Edit - leak info is fake it seems

You want to finance phones this period?
Better one buy it outright than pay extra cash.

Ellizsandra:
Posted.. Relax hbp is real

Speculated price, not official price.

festwiz:
Redmi 9 is a rumoured unannounced device

The RN9s costs $200, SD720G
The RN9 (Redmi 10x) costs $140 in China, Helio G85
Why would the R9 $200?

Where did you get those prices?? OP, post the source for your prices.

Co ask too

What most people should take into consideration that IN 7 is Transsion mid-range device and Redmi 9 is Xiaomi budget entry level device, or has this changed?

nightbuzzer:
Mr man MI Staff stop this damange control article .... Unna don f**k up ..after all the mouth G70, G35 and haba G25 what again ?

Admit it, it's better than using outdated, inefficient chipsets for budget and mid-range phones

Company name and the nature of the job?

TheOdd1sOut:
You don't understand the concept of SARCASM, do you??

Honestly didn't see it though now you mentioned it... Seeing it in .1.

OP no vex

Thebwoy:
Calm down
No be fight.

Heh, prolly overdid it

thesolutions:
I am only speculating but it seems so.

Their is a violent war between Transion company and Xiaomi and serious verbal attack by Xiaomi on anything transion.

The pro Xiaomi seems to know about every Transion products and are ready to counter any pro transion products with evidence using mean words.

I can conclude that xiaomi markers were once tecno marketers who are aggrieved by lack of pay for marketing services rendered.

Brand bashing is completely normal, something some people fail to see and I've used both Transsion and xiaomi devices, the former giving a new meaning to "looks can be deceiving", the latter like the unpopular kid who ends up becoming more successful than the rest of the class.

Henreez:
Hello guys!
Let's get straight to business.
With different phone brands churning out amazing devices year in year out, the phone market is now more competitive than ever.
So here are reasons you should spend your splash your money to get an awesome Infinix or Tecno device.

[s]1. Global brand status.
Infinix/Tecno are ranked amongst the top 10 phones in the world. They are so good that the Chinese don't want to use them at all but prefer to send those great devices to Africa. God bless China![/s]

[s]2. Great specs for cheap price.
Infinix/Tecno devices promises great specs for a relatively cheaper price when compared with other phones. They promise some great processors like age-old P23 to enhance performance, No lagging/hanging, Good camera which would take as long as 6months to fade away. It's nothing to worry about since new models would have been released by then. You can upgrade to new phone. ALL THESE FOR AS LOW AS 50K[/s]

[s]3. Strong Battery life although without fast charge feature
These phones promises very strong battery life. With 6000mah on the infinix hot 9 you can browse and surf the net with SOT of about 10hrs. It will take as low as 4 hours to completely charge these devices due to absence of fast charge feature. It's nothing to worry about if you have constant power supply in your area.[/s]

[s]4. No need for irrelevant OS updates
Why worry about updates when they still perform same basic functions like browsing, calls and messaging? You don't need updates. If you see any need for updates, you can work harder, save and get a new Tecno/infinix device every year. It's worth it.[/s]

[s]5. Easy access to Carl Care services
Carl care services are eagerly waiting to receive you whenever your phone develops fault. You know, if we can't assure your phones developing fault, they won't be everywhere in the first place.[/s]

What are you waiting for? Get an Infinix/Tecno device Today!

1. Who dash them global status? Bruh they aren't even in top 100 globally and the Chinese don't even know they exist, not because they're "too good" but because they're too pathetic to get along with the times.

2. There's entry level devices as low as that but are solid and you contradicted yourself... Which smartphone camera fades after 6 months eh? All so to upgrade... smh.

3. Big battery but horrible software+a power inefficient SoC would make it feel like you're using a 4000mah battery or lower for the average user. Also I get same 10hrs SOT or more on my device with 3500mah on web surfing and occasional YouTube. La big battery est useless

4. Updates are there to fix vulnerabilities in the OS, ignore them at your own peril. Keep believing that hackers got nothing on you. They're getting smarter and don't give a damn if you're as poor as a church rat, provided you got data they can steal n sell.

5. Same carlcare that rips off customers, especially the ignorant ones? Rather take it to a trusted technician in computer village and pay 2/5 or 1/5 the asking price from carlcare. Plus a guaranteed fix but since it's Transsion and their knack of using tokunbo parts...you get the idea (or not).

Won't buy till they upgrade, stop seeing their customers as potential cash cows and follow protocols....

*Lil added points n strikes*
