If they don't go through Jumia can they sell? Infinix and Tecno dominating the market already

Space booked.

Wow, level has changed for Uche. He is lucky man.

TechRez:
Gionee’s mobile division in Nigeria is falling apart. The Chinese mobile manufacturer founded in 2002 grew to become a formidable brand in China, expanding its market to India, Vietnam, Taiwan, Phillppines and Nigeria.

In 2013, the mobile brand grew in popularity in Nigeria, posing a huge threat to Tecno. Gionee’s constant push for innovative smartphones backed by aggressive marketing made the brand a household name.

The company also earned a global recognition for manufacturing the slimmest phone in 2014, the Elife S5.5, although it has been overtaken by Micromax’s Canvas Sliver 5.

During that same year, Gionee got in the media for some shoddy practices. It was accused of delivering smartphones pre-installed with Malwares.

Fast-foward to 2015, the company appears to be struggling especially in Nigeria where other OEM ‘s like Infinix have had an instant impact in Africa’s biggest mobile market.

Infinix and Google had a mega deal that brought in the Infinix Hot 2, an Android One smartphone that has sold in tens of thousands. The same thing cannot be said of Gionee smartphones, though they launch new devices continuously, it appears no one noticed.

The competition is going to be more stiff, as Xiaomi which was recently dethroned as the biggest Mobile Vendor in China by Huawei launches two smartphones in Nigeria at the end of November.

Jumia is also likely partner with Wileyfox to launch two smartphones in Nigeria before the end of 2015. Wilefox phones are like the hugely successful OnePlus phones running on Cyanogen OS with top-of-the-line specs on-board.

It is not clear what went wrong in the camp of Gionee, but if they choose to remain relevant in Nigeria. They have “re-study” the market, knowing why brands like Yezz Mobile failed miserably in Nigeria with their completely down-market phones and why emerging brands like InnJoo have suddenly become an instant success.

Gionee don't understand the African mobile market. Companies like Tecno, Infinix are doing very well. Report has it that Tecno sold over 45 millions of phones last year in Africa. Gionee market strategy is poor

Mafia4life:
My turn off if it is really true.
No.1 6-inches is damn big.
No. 2 Same chipset used for the previous note series
No 3. People like me would prefer same cpu clock rate running on 64bit architecture.
No 4. Same RAM size which isn't an upgrade
No 5. Though no 4G LTE network in Nigeria. It would attract me if it comes embedded.
No 6. Bigger screen might bring faster discharge ( maybe battery capacity might be 6020mah)
Nothing much sha. Just expressing why I may not buy if there reasons are true

Let's wait and see. Specs are subject to change. I still put phantom 5 above this though

Good day friends.. I am using tecno Camon C8 and the rear camera is great.. I am considering to buy gionee M5 next week but I don't know if the gionee camera would be clearer than the tecno Camon C8's own.. Does anybody here have an idea on which phone's camera is clearer amongst the two phones I mentioned (tecno canon c8 & gionee m5) thank you friends..[color=#000000][/color]

I Have a Camon C8. I can tell you the truth. Both camera are the same coz my friend have the m5 but night shot of the Camon C8 is better due to dual flash

parrotibaba:
are you having a laugh? Tecno products are substandard and that's their limit. They produce mid n low range phones and it sells but going high end and deciding to overprice it is just ridiculous. How many people bought the phantom z last year? and it sold at 50k. Now the phantom z is now crap cos of lack of OS update. The phones with the same specs as the TP5 are selling for 40-50k n yet they decided to sell this phone 70k when another OS is already out. By the time next year rolls in, another phantom with the latest OS will come out with a laughable price tag while those that wasted their 70k just like the phantom z folks will be stuck n regretting ever buying these phones. Take a look at the c8 that came out with multitasking issues, folks cried to tecno for a simple fix but in typical style they abandoned them and instead decided to launch the c5 in Nigeria. If an OEM can do this and you still think that they are booming then you are indeed suffering from inferiority complex.
bye.

Bro the fact that phantom Z didn't get update to the newest OS doesn't mean is a crap. What do you mean by crap if I may ask. I am particularly not moved by all this update u guys are saying. So far my phone is serving me I don't have problem whether it's upgraded to Lollipop or not. Kit kat is even better than Lollipop, My infinix hot note pro is still running kit kat and I would be upgrading it

donshady:
Rubbish... 1gig ram? 8gig ROM?
Hote note 2 and pro is a better option.

It's a good phone bro. infinix only wins on battery. This is a 4G enabled phone and the emphasis is on camera

Interesting. Competition is good

The Design is good

Infinix hot note only has a better battery life but everything seems to work well with camon C8 compared with the infinix hot note

Chukky86:
Smile LTE 4G Is not gsm. Its cdma network. You are trying to use a cdma sim for gsm phone version. How dumb. Get the cdma version of moto G . it will work with smile network.

.
I think u are getting it wrong here. No version of the Motorola Moto G will work with the said network. It's an advantage if your mobile should work with a CDMA network. You can blaze the 4G LTE the smiles 4G offers

Since it's a 4G phone. It should work with Smiles 4G then like its senior brother

AwesomeRomeo:
Just root it and use ram manager to solve the multi-tasking problem. Go to C8 discussion thread and learn more about the device.

Yea rooting will definately solve the multitasking issues. i am still working on the easiest way to root the phone

Riotechs:

BustScam:
Are you sure cos I don't want sorry if I pick up one now and I'm stranded o

Check the review on mobilityarena. It works with phantom 5

LordReed:
If Smile 4G is not licensed for telephony services why would inserting the sim in a phone work?

It works flawless with phantom 5

RobinHez:
Do u sell the moto G?

you can get it in Amazon

The Motorola Moto G is a mid-range 4G LTE device. You know how we roll here at MobilityArena.com. Knowing that subscribers of Smile 4G/LTE would be interested in knowing whether their SIMs work on it like it does with the TECNO Phantom 5
There are three variants of the Moto G:

XT1540 – US market, GSM unlocked
XT1548 – US market, locked to CDMA networks
XT1550 – Indian market, GSM unlocked.

Our model is the XT1540. We inserted the Smile 4G SIM into the phone, adjusted every setting, and got….zilch. It wouldn’t pick a signal.

We can authoritatively tell you that if you have a Smile 4G SIM and you are looking for a smartphone to use it with, the Moto G 2015 is not that phone. None of the available variants support the LTE-800 (20 band) that Smile 4G runs on.

If you want the Moto G for a different reason, it really is a nice phone. Sourcehttp://mobilityarena.com

Maybe the dog is hungry. Always give ur dog food to eat on time. This one that he is chewing every things including ur phantom 5 pouch. He may descend on ur useable items oo

Jerry needs home training 101. Send him to me for proper training. Mr Jerry is still deputising on ur behalf. Big boy with phantom 5. That ur dog fine sha

Chikote:
My Oraimo selfie stick got broken, can anyone recommend me another selfie stick that can work with my Camon C8?

Oramo is the best. you can get it at Tecno retail outlets across the country

zainden:

onajo2000:
A friend told me that his techno p9 is not dual Sim and am not really sure of that cos I don't have the phone..... Please help me out to know b4 buying it

There's no Tecno tablet that has dual sims. It's single sim take note

Tecno is more popular, Infinix is just gaining ground, especially on online

acenazt:
see yeye talk you know how many months pocket money i save to buy my xperia? I knew i wanted quality so i Sacrificed some needs for the Ultimate,

Hope that xperia is generating cash for you.

It's a machine, it's costly

sigmundfreud:
Techno/infinix should start packing.

Lol, Tecno and Infinix have been providing affordable phones in Nigeria for years now. Tecno mobile understand the African mobile market more than any OEM. I haven't seen the strategy Xiaomi is going to use to be relevant here. Gionee is still struggling, let's wait and see

koice:
An understatement. It's a well known fact that Tecno mobile is pretty adept at buying good reviews, but what does a desperate company do when bought good reviews don't work? Deceptive form of marketing ensures.


It's kinda amusing and shocking to see Tecno trying to con the gullible ones among us into investing on their high priced substandard flagship. Apparently, integrity is the last thing on their mind right now. Desperate measures and all that...

How do you mean by substandard? Tecno phones substandard!. You baffle me honestly. which one hav u used, and what makes them substandard

Are they going thru another E-commerce apart from these one.
