Phones2019 Foldable Phones : Do We Actually Need Foldable Phones? by NaijaTechGuy(op):
Recently we have seen smartphone companies jump on the foldable phone bandwagon isn’t a bit surprising but the biggest question I ask myself each time is this

Do we actually need foldable phones?

https://i2.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Samsung-Folding-Devices.jpg

Before I dive into the whole foldable phone issue, let me take you on a little trip back in time. Starting from when our regular smartphone designs started witnessing some major changes. So without further ado, let’s get started.

https://i1.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/lets-get-this-45ff92.jpg

In general, smartphone companies have always been competing with each other in order to get a larger market share with top Chinese companies like Vivo, Xiaomi And Oppo pushing design aesthetics to the max, sure enough, they’ve gotten a lot of attention within the mobile phone Industry and are even the.

We all can clearly remember when Xiaomi started the bezelless trend back in 2016 with the release of the Xiaomi Mi Mix which was one of the first smartphones if not the first with very slim bezels.

https://i1.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Xiaomi-Mi-MIX-256GB.jpg

Chinese Companies, Oppo and Vivo also pushed design limits to the edge by moving the position of the front camera in their phones – The Oppo Find X and Vivo Nex respectively. Take a look at these two devices.

https://i0.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/OPPO-Find-X-vs-Vivo-NEX-price-specs-comparison-Revu-Philippines-881x496.jpg

You can clearly see what Oppo and Vivo did with their designs. In the Oppo Find X, both the front and rear camera’s are hidden and only slides up when you open the camera app while in the Vivo Nex only the front camera slides up.

Both designs are great but believe the “Nigerian” in me is still scared that the mechanical parts could fail. The way you feel when your camera doesn’t work on a regular phone would be worse on a phone with moving parts when it doesn’t even respond.

https://i0.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/3Hw6dg.gif

So basically here’s what our smartphones have gone from in the past couple of years and the last one is the new trend smartphone companies are heading to – Foldable Phones

https://i0.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/evo.png


As much as it seems awesome. I still find it awkward. Personally, I don’t know why they came up with this but if they are trying to bring back that nostalgic feeling that the foldable phones in the early 2000’s gave us, with the current technology in place, they aren't very far from it.

https://i1.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Samsung-Galaxy-Fold-Gear-Patrol-Lead-Full.jpg

There are companies that are still testing this at the moment, those who have already released theirs and those who have simply shelved the entire idea at the moment because I believe they understand the market more.

Brands like LG have completely shelved the idea for now according to their head of mobile communications and home entertainment divisions Brian Kwon

According to Kwon, the company weighed a potential release alongside the launch of its 5G phone. But rather than introduce a foldable smartphone at this time, the company plans to hold off while it gauges consumer responses to folding smartphone technology.

Per the Korean Times, Kwon added:The market demand for smartphones is expected to be at around 1 million but LG’s main target in smartphone business is to regain its market position. Considering this situation, it is too early for LG to launch a foldable smartphone. In terms of technology, we are fully ready to respond depending on consumers’ reactions (to foldable smartphones).

So while LG is trying to study the market properly, Samsung already released theirs and I’m very curious to see how people respond to this.

Samsung’s current device costs around the $1980 dollar mark . I guess we would have to wait for a proper review to know how it works in general but still – What do we need a foldable phone for ?

PhonesWhatsapp, Instagram And Facebook Merger - What You Should Know About It by NaijaTechGuy(op): 6:52am On Feb 01, 2019
A few days ago I wrote a post about the plan to merge Whatsapp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger
As soon as this news hit the web, a whole lot of rumours have been going around the internet, and most of it has to do with privacy.

If you remember clearly sometime in 2018, Facebook was faced with a major security breach which was related to the private data of users taken by Cambridge Analytical so it wasn't surprising that the privacy issue was brought up.

WhatsApp And Facebook Merger -Mark Zuckerberg Responds

During a meeting with investors, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, explained the project that wants to create a cross-platform messaging system between Facebook, Instagram And Whatsapp.

At the moment, the project is still in its infancy and Facebook is still thinking about the various possible solutions, so it will be necessary to wait at least until 2020 before we get to see the first unified version of the messaging system.

According to Zuckerberg, the benefits include : End-to-End encryption that will allow you to exchange messages with maximum security.

Also, it would help a user who uses the Marketplace on Facebook but has to use WhatsApp for the instant messaging part an easy unified way to do that without leaving any of the apps.

The idea is to create a system similar to Apple’s iMessage on SMS, with more features and the security given by end-to-end encryption.

Will Facebook Merge Whatsapp And Messenger

https://i0.wp.com/www.naijatechguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/105336998_fb-nc.png

Yes, but each platform would maintain its unique identity but we won't be seeing that till 2020

Pricing is what tecno has been using to sell their products. Their prices are cheap compare to other brands in Nigeria hence they will keep topping the market in Nigeria. Samsung refuses to reduce theis because they feel that their standard and quality might be low. The believe that whatever model they have in other countries should be the same in Nigeria. Their target is mostly the rich hence their market Penetration is low. Xiaomi will try their best but whether they are ready to reduce their price to compete favourably with tecno might be a difficult task. Reducing price may lead to reduction in quality too. This is the reason why Samsung couldn't penetrate
The Redmi sub brand of Xiaomi would handle all of that. Look at the specs of the Redmi Note 7. Imagine the price Tecno or Infinix would have sold it. Xiaomi would give the Transsion brands a lot to worry about. They better start planning ways of facing this new threat. If Xiaomi is threatening to unseat the top brands globally who is Transission that they won't threaten

The India and Nigeria market are not the same. The Nigeria market are price sensitive and after sales service. Many Nigerians are price sensitive hence they use that in making their decisions
You really don't know much about the Indian mobile market. Try to make some research. Why do you think Transsion also sells their phones in India

Yes Gionee is bankrupt but they gave a fight few years back in Africa. They couldn't compete favourably with tecno because it was difficult for them similar fate await Xiaomi. The African market isn't the same with European and American.
If Xiaomi could succeed in India. Nothing will stop them here

Well Xiaomi is a good brand, no doubt but I don't think they can sweep Tecno and Infinix off their base in Nigeria that easily. It might be possible with itel but not Tecno and Infinix- at least not now.
What Gionee has not been able to do, is it Xiaomi that can do it?
Xiaomi is better equipped than Gionee. C'mon they have multiple products and accessories. Transsion just has their phones with Oraimo made accessories

It is the truth. Let's look at Samsung another brand in Africa to analyzed. Samsung is a top brand in Europe and other continent yet their products are not visible to all. What I mean is that very few persons use their products compare to tecno. Haven't you wonder why their products are not accepted by many Africans inspite of their popularity?
Samsung's major problem is pricing, bring the prices down and make it available to the common man and see if any other brand stands the test of time here.

Where is Huawei, Gioneee today in the Nigerian market? Transsion has existed for twelve years in Nigeria for a reason.

How many people can afford the quality of phones Xiaomi would make? Unless they lower their standards and therefore their prices, it would be difficult for them.
You really think Xiaomi hasn't planned all that out
grin grin.

They made Redmi a sub brand to cater for things like that. The Redmi Note 7 has 4GB RAM, 4G Support, 48MP Camera , Snapdragon Chip, Quick Charge 4, 4000maH and more and it costs less than N60k

Trust me they know what they're doing and they're even planning to launch Android Go phones to take on the low-end iTel devices.
