PhonesSide Fingerprint Sensor: Another Innovation From Tecno Mobile by Mercury01(op): 5:10pm On Mar 31, 2017
Fingerprint technology is now becoming a regular feature in new devices.. Part of the reason is because of the speed and the selfie taking functionality it performs..

But imagine alittle twist to the story... Changing of the position of the sensor!
Yes... Not on the home button like Samsung or iPhone, not on the back like infinix and other versions of Tecno... But somewhere much more convinient for a large device... On the side!

This is a very smart thinking by the manufacturers... Using the front or back fingerprint sensor on a large device like the Phonepad 3 would pose a bit of a problem so they moved it to the side!

CONVENIENCE
With the new position, you don't have to consciously unlock your phone unlike the home button sensor and back sensor... You unlock your device effortlessly... Just by holding it!

SPEED
it takes 0.2 secs (0.1 secs slower than the back sensor) to unlock or take a selfie with the side fingerprint sensor. But the difference is actually irrelevant, not quite noticeable

ADDED FUNCTIONALITY
Not only can you lock your device and take selfies with the sensor, you can also scroll up and down a page with it... This enhances one hand functionality, which is a big plus, considering the size of the device!

The PHONEPAD 3 is indeed the device to get...

PhonesRe: Unboxing And Full Specifications Of The Phonepad3 by Mercury01: 10:07am On Mar 21, 2017
This PhonePad series seems like the future. They have produced great devices back to back. There is no way I won’t get one.

RomanceConnect With Your Loved Ones With #myspecialone by Mercury01(op): 5:02pm On Nov 23, 2016
I stumbled on an on-going activity by TECNO Mobile [url]http://phantom.tecno-mo[url][/url]bile.com/MySpecialOne/ [/url]and it has been termed #MySpecialOne.

It is an initiative created to emphasize the special bond you have with your loved ones by uploading your picture alongside your special one, writing that heart-warming caption and downloading the picture or better still; sharing it on your different social media platforms.
The TECNO Phantom 6 has recorded massive sales, so TECNO sought to create an avenue that will engage fans and customers beyond the generation of sales by making them connect with that special one.
The strategy behind this initiative is to leverage on the love Nigerians are known to give their loved ones, except that this is done in a rather different way. This time; you are letting the whole world know.

The meme generator is available via a microsite customized for both desktop and mobile users. Additionally, users are allowed to create their own memes and download them, as well as share them directly to their social media platforms.
Just like the ‘Straight Outta Somewhere’ campaign that was bore out of the ‘Straight Outta Compton’ movie, which was directed at showcasing how proud people are of where they come from, TECNO added a twist to this one. This activity helps you to connect with that special someone by uploading your pictures and writing that special message to someone that means more than the world to you.

It is obvious that this activity is primarily associated with Phantom 6, and especially because of the dual back camera feature it comes with. This is because one of the cameras at the back is solely used for refocus, and as we can see in the sample pictures above, there are evidences of blur and refocus.

While the Phantom 6 is known to help you focus on only the things that matter the most to you, these memes will help you in expressing your hearts even further. Here is to the future of making your special one feel like the only one in the world.

PhonesSee Why Education Is The Best Legacy by Mercury01(op): 3:45pm On Nov 08, 2016
As an education enthusiast, how I feel about this goes beyond my love for the brand. What triggers the anger in me is people’s nonchalant attitude to what is right, what is wrong, and what is obtainable.

For many people that spell TECNO as techno, I feel very sad that some of them have gone through the four walls of a University. It is not contestable that we must have stumbled on the correct spelling of TECNO at different point in our lives, so in instances where you are unsure of a word, a little research will make you knowledgeable and stand out.

TECNO is a brand that is loved by many Nigerians whether we accept it or not, so our love for the brand begins to show in our understanding of it; hence how we spell the name.

I honestly do not find it funny.

Thought they said is da bomb, best camera, everything. Dnt know there is more to phone than just camera.I know hw many I've counted today on nairaland and olx.so what's actually wrong with the phone you guys are not telling us so that a prospective buyer will be aware
This is a very unreasonable thread because it is obvious this is a move to bring down a competing brand. The thread is pointless because I have not seen many people trying to tell their C9, I have not tried to sell mine. I even intend trading it for the new Phantom 6, God bless her soul. Can all you competitors stop playing with our heads? It's not funny anymore.

you have just said the problem. how can you spend so much on a phone and the battery is a problem
Why will you break the bank to purchase a phone and the battery is the problem? Even the so called big brands; Apple and the shit likes have battery issues. Even though you want to bring down your competitors, be reasonable in your judgement.

When you say sold out, does it mean it is no longer in the market?

Yes! All the pictures were taken by Camon C9. You will notice that most of them have the Camon C9 watermark, it's one of the swags of the phone. The main aim of the tour is to showcase the beauty of Nigeria by taking pictures using the Camon C9. So every picture posted here or on the trip is courtesy C9.

The C9JA tour hosted by Tecno Mobile is an event intended to test the awesomeness of the 13MP front and rear camera featured on the new Tecno C9. As we all know, TECNO recently unveiled its camera flagship device for this year. It was well attended by many celebrities, fans, and well-wishers. During the launch, two winners of the TecnoGram contest; a competition that took place on Instagram where contestants were asked to send beautiful images captured under various categories will join the top celebrities to tour amazing places in the country. The tour is organised to showcase Nigeria’s beauty and all the pictures will be taken with the Camon C9. The word C9JA is coined from C9 and Nigeria. Live images will be posted for your perusal. The team has just arrived Ibadan and it’s been really interesting hanging out with VJ Adams.

PhonesRe: Ask Me Any Question About Tecno L8+ by Mercury01: 9:55am On Jun 10, 2016
I use the L8 but I think it's heavy. I must admit that the battery is good, and I like the fact that it is metal, I just think its heavy.
I was going through nairaland one time and I saw that some people argued that the phone is metal, some said it is not. What do you think OP?

Phones“old Soldier Never Dies; So Does Tecno L8” by Mercury01(op): 3:12pm On May 13, 2016
If there is ever a phone that deserves the title of a best friend, it is the Tecno L8. With the poor condition of power in the country, Tecno has thought it wise to satisfy our needs by producing a phone with 5050MAH battery, thereby allowing it to go three days without being charged.

The L8 is currently the phone with the largest usage. Its metallic design, 5.5 HD screen and the OTG presence has definitely proven that L8 is here to stay. Its 1GB RAM is not something to worry about, as the marshmallow is there to put things in place.
Here is why the L8 is a must have.
The battery
5050 MAH battery size!!!!
It comes with a 5050MAH battery which can also be used as a power bank. It can be used to charge another device, thereby saving you the money ought to be used to purchase a power bank.
One would wonder how long a 5050MAH battery will charge for; let me burst your bubble, it charges really fast (as long as it is being used with its original charger, or at least a matching one). This is one of the coolest things about the L8. You get to use a powerful battery which charges fast but never discharges fast.
OTG Support
The L8 has the OTG support intended to make the device even more user friendly. With the presence of the OTG, mobile devices are able to communicate with one another. The L8 is able to connect with other peripheral devices such as mouse, keyboard and what have you. This interestingly means that your L8 can serve as your mini laptop.
The Camera
The rear (back) camera houses the 8MP; 3264*2448 piixels. It has an auto focus which focuses on even the most minute things as well as an LED flash. The front camera has a 2MP camera embedded in it. Its video recording has been provided with 1080 at 30fps. Tecno did do well on this one.


Its metallic nature
Basically, handling it already gives the phone a sense of beauty and durability. Some people would jokingly refer to it as hammer. Its metallic nature has made it one of the most durable phones there is. Using it, you should not be afraid of your two year old baby toying with it and making it fall. Tecno definitely had the average Nigerian family in mind when designing the phone.


The memory
The internal memory comes with a 16GB which makes it large to enough to house most of your files. External memory can accommodate up to 64GB of memory card. Its adaptable storage device also helps you spend less money, giving you much more opportunities to store files.
The most beautiful thing about the L8 is that you get the very best at an unbelievable price. It is very user friendly and it will in no time be your best friend. Its colour, its sleekness, its specifications and its uniqueness, are all the things that make the L8 a must have

I am guessing someone sent a letter or a mail to these annoying Tecno people, then they decided to post it. I understand that the phone has an OTG function, but should we all start using it for interviews?
PhonesRe: I Officially Have The Most Useless Phone Ever!!!! by Mercury01: 3:40pm On Apr 27, 2016

PhonesRe: Why Should I Get A Smartphone With A Big Screen? by Mercury01: 5:36pm On Apr 25, 2016
I agree that the phone is perfectly sleek. Tecno has greatly stepped up their game.
