Formerly #teamtecno but thanks to the new Samsung galaxy grand prime, now #teamsamsung

Thanks to Jah, ur story don change.

Tecno has been guilty of releasing the same device with same specs under different names but no unique selling point. The Phantom Z Mini could be different. as it's is an almost compact model of the Phantom Z.

Since the media buzz is still high, it is still selling for as high as N205,000 to around N250,000 on Konga - http://thegadgetsfreak.com/apple-iphone-6-price-in-nigeria-starting-price-of-205000/

I reckon the price would still drop toa round the stated prices above.

Detailed specs and details of the Innjoo Note - http://thegadgetsfreak.com/innjoo-note-phablet-with-13mp-camera-and-android-4-4-kitkat-os-announced-specs-and-details/

Life has really moved on from Windows XP; the windows 10 looks like a unification of the Windows 7 and Windows 8 with the return of the star menu. Windows 10 would work across all platforms.

Microsoft has windows for PCs and Desktops, Windows Phones for cellphones and Xbox for its gaming console. But the Redmond Giant is set to make all device under its tentacle to use one platform - the Windows10 and one Windows Store which would make the same application work for all device.

asudan: I like your marketing strategy and tactics.Also u started the weakness of such phones but I want to ask this question,is power bank inclusive in both phones like the case of tecno F5 or they are bought separely

You have to get the power bank separately.

Pictures of both smartphone.

In recent weeks, the InnJoo i1S and the Infinix Zero (Infinix Zero X506) has been a subject of interest to Android smartphone, Potential Android users and other smartphone users Alike.

Both the Innjoo i1s and Infinix Zero come at a time when users needed a much needed break from low end smartphones with dated Android OS or over-board expensive Android smartphones with Android Kitkat OS. Both devices are from different manufacturers but both device run Android 4.4 Kitkat OS out-of-the-box, 5-inch sized display, Dual-SIM support, 3G connectivity and are in the affordable price category range.

Quick Rundown of Spec details and Pricing
The Infinix Zero (Infinix Zero X506) is the first Android 4.4 Kitkat OS smartphone from the company and also is the flagship smartphone for the year 2014 for the company. Whilst Infinix has already been a player in the Nigerian market, Innjoo is new to the Nigerian Ecosystem and the Innjoo i1s is the first smartphones from the Arab Emirates company to be available in Nigeria.

The Innjoo i1s and Infinix Zero both sport a 5-inch sized display; whilst the former uses a Quad-core MediaTek processor, the latter uses an octa-core MediaTek processor. The Innjoo i1s rocks 1GB of RAM along with 8GB of internal storage while the Infinix Zero is available in two storage variants – 1GB of RAM to go along with the 8GB internal storage model and 2GB of RAM to go along with the 16GB internal storage option.

The Innjoo i1s features a 5MP rear camera & front VGA camera; while the Infinix Zero sports a 13MP front camera & 2MP front camera. Both devices support standard connectivity options including 3G but no 4G LTE yet (that’s understandable, not many are around here currently).

One major fall and complain about each device is the battery, the Innjoo i1s sports a 1900mAh and the Infinix Zero sports a 1920mAh battery. Users just have to make do by getting a power bank to add more firepower to the device.

Mention: Lol... That money fit buy 1tb laptop

If you took time out to read the post, you wouldn't have jumped to a conclusion. The SDXC card is not for the common user, its for Pros which shoot videos or photographers - the Clarence Peters or Kelechi Amadi Obis who shoot in 4K Ultra HD format.

PS: Phones currently use a microSD card between 512MB and 128GB.

Judging a camera by its pixel is so Outdated But. Note my But iFixit tore down the iPhone 6 and iphone 6 Plus revealing 1GB of RAM. So far so good, Apple has always been able to create phone which rather than rely on specs relies on joint features customisation.

Comparing the iPhone 6's camera or battery with other Android devices is suicidal. Comparing Megapixels on Android devices is still forseeable as you cannot compare the output from HTC's UltraPixel camera with a Tecno's 8MP camera.

Just my take tho.

The Gionee S5.5 is still the slimmest device so far with 5.5mm thickness. The S5.1 has not been officially announced but is rumoured to come with 5.1mm thickness.

olukenzo: Nokia shot themselves in the foot. At that time they were going to bed with MS, another division would have done android, even AOSP. It would have been Nokia's hardware might + Google's innovative OS. The company would still have been thriving today.

One other thing I think is hindering some of their products out there now is the hardware design. Which serious minded person buys a red, yellow, green phone? And a square-ish one at that. Even Tecno knows better than making toyish looking phones.

I agree with shooting themselves inthe foot aspect.

vowiski: Google acquired Motorola for $12b and sold to Lenovo for $2b, isn't that bad business practice? That's what earned the Motorola deal, Google's worse business deal..

its bad business in terms of the deal but Google didn't kill the Motorola brand - the Moto X and Moto G areliving testimonies.

vowiski: That's not entirely true. Accepting Windows Phone OS as its primary OS was the best option for Nokia at that time, considering the fact that it came with a $1B prize from Microsoft and Android was no where future-proof.

Even Google was disappointed after making the biggest business blunder in their history, acquiring Motorola for $12B to propel Android to the next level. It was Samsung, out of no-where who pushed the Android OS to where it is today. The South Korea Company accounts for nearly 70% of the entire Android market-share.

So, I still think it was purely business on the path of Nokia, a big brand forming alliance with the biggest tech company in the world. No one would have predicted the fall of Nokia by that standard, but again... Business is all about risk. Some you succeed and others you fail. Life moves on.

Google acquired Motorola and sold it to Lenovo, even though the acquisition is yet to be fully completed. Google's Android is free for any platform, only this year microsoft dropped the price it asks OEM to pay. Am not really concerned about Microsoft and Google, I am concerned Nokia took that path and ended up being acquired by Microsoft. Since the Microsoft WP Os has been announced, it has failed to attract the much anticipated hype. Samsung took Android to another level, but that OS is still the one to beat.

If Nokia had opted for Android OS when it dropped Symbian their mobile arm would still be very much functional now. Nokia jumped ship to windows phone and here they are today.

Apple introduced both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus few hours back. Both the iPhone models look exactly similar, have the same anodized aluminum back, new curved design, Apple A8 processor with M8 motion coprocessor, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, NFC and more.

These main difference it the screen size. The iPhone 6 has a 4.7-inch
(1334 x 750 pixels) screen, while the iPhone 6 Plus comes with a 5.5-inch (1920 x 1080 pixels) screen. Apple is calling it as Retina HD display.

The iPhone 6 Plus also comes with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a larger battery offering better battery life compared to the iPhone 6. On the software side, both these have Reachability, a new feature that move the UI halfway down the screen to reach easily just by double tapping the home button. The iPhone 6 Plus has landscape mode that offer two-pane view for apps. Check out the detailed comparison of the specifications below.

Other difference is the price. The iPhone 6 costs $199, $299 and $399 with a two contract and $649, $749 and $849 without contract for the 16GB, 64GB and 128GB variants respectively. The iPhone 6 Plus costs $299, $399 and $499 with a two contract and $749, $849 and $949 without contract for the 16GB, 64GB and 128GB variants respectively. It goes on sale in select countries starting September 19th.

LG Electronics Inc. (KRX:066570) is taking a stab at an infrequently used feature for its upcoming smartphone. Its latest LG G3 model will come with a stylus.

The Korean manufacturer announced the LG G3 Stylus on its website on Tuesday and said it plans to showcase the device at the IFA Expo in Berlin in September. Following the success of its LG G3 flagship smartphone, LG has launched several other devices under the brand at different price points.

Specifications for the LG G3 Stylus put it firmly in the mid-range market. The device includes a low-resolution, 5.5-inch qHD (960 x 540) and a low-power 1.3 GHz Quad-Core processor. Memory capacities include 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal storage with MicroSD support. The LG G3 Stylus does have some higher-end features, including a 13-megapixel main camera and a 3,000mAh removable battery; lower-end specs with a more powerful battery could account for a decent battery life on the smartphone.

The LG G3 Stylus will run the Android 4.4.2 KitKat operating system, will be available for 3G mobile networks, and will come in black, while and gold color options. Its software features include QuickMemo+, Dual Window, Smart Keyboard, Touch & Shoot, Gesture Shot and Knock Code.

A September launch will put the LG G3 Stylus up against Samsung’s Galaxy Note 4 smartphone, which is the leading stylus-accompanied smartphone on the market. However, the devices won’t be direct competitors, as the Galaxy Note 4 will be priced for the premium market while the LG G3 Stylus will cater to emerging markets. LG's President and CEO Jong-Seok Park described the LG G3 Stylus as a device for those who don’t want to be “bogged down carrying a laptop, tablet and smartphone.” The device will debut in Brazil and will launch in Asia, the Middle East and Africa later. The LG G3 Stylus isn't expected to be available in the U.S.

NB - there are no official images yet.

I don't think you would want to do that.

Vessi: Is the OS upgradable?
Cause Lollipop would be launched soon.

Samsung would definitely release its upgrade via OTA when it is available.

There will be no shared spotlight at IFA then, Samsung unveiled the premium Samsung Galaxy Alpha weeks before the scheduled Galaxy Note 4 announcement.

The premium device has a metal frame exposed on the sides and a faux leather back similar to the Galaxy S5. The Galaxy Alpha is a preemptive strike against a bigger iPhone, it measures just 6.7mm thick and weighs 115g. It's other dimensions are 132.4 x 65.5, comparable to those of the Galaxy S5 mini.

The Alpha flagship packs a larger screen, however, a 4.7" Super AMOLED with 720p resolution. The phone's heart is an Exynos 5 Octa built up of four Cortex-A15 cores (1.8GHz) and four Cortex-A7 cores (1.3GHz). There's 2GB of RAM and 32GB of non-expandable storage.

It will run Android 4.4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz on top including S Health and Ultra-low power mode. The phone will pack a fingerprint reader, heart-rate sensor and will be compatible with the Samsung Gear smartwatches. The main camera is a 12MP shooter (it's not clear yet if it's ISOCELL or not) accompanied by a 2.1MP selfie camera.

The Samsung Galaxy Alpha boasts LTE Cat. 6 connectivity, dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 4.0 . All of that will be powered by a relatively small 1,860mAh battery. Color options include Charcoal Black, Dazzling White, Frosted Gold, Sleek Silver and Scuba Blue.

The phone will launch in 150 countries in September.
