People are buying apple products not because of functionality or abilities, but for prestige\pride, Apple stopped making significant improvements on their products when Steve Jobs died

Steve jobs died in 2011, at the time there was iPhone 4. If you want to say there's no significant improvement since iPhone 4 to iPhone 15 then your brain isn't functioning normally.

What are we going to play on this? Subway Surfers?

that G99 chipset is absolutely useless to a serious gamer. Even the Pova 6 pro with dimensity 6080 is still not worthy of being called a gaming phone. The Pova line has always been for big batteries I don't know what made them brand it as a gaming phone when it lacks the hardware for it.

TNORWAY:
see

almost everything here is false. The 40i has HD screen not FHD. It's battery charges 18W, not 33W.

Don't use jumia as a basis for getting accurate phone specs. Use GSMArena or go to the official infinix website.

Azazyel:
If you want to get any transsion holdings phone with high performance Chipsets:
Tecno Camon series: 18p, 18premier and above

Spark 20pro and above
Phantom series

Infinix note 12(2023), Infinix note 12 g96 and above

Infinix Zero series( really fantastic phones)

You see itel is for people on tight budget so the kind of Chipsets you would be getting is something like Unisoc. You see Infinix smart, hot series and Tecno pop series, run away from them if you are looking for sharp performance.

I haven't used Tecno pouvir but from what I can see, the batteries are well optimized so they might sacrifice CPU and GPU power for that. You would likely not get great Cameras and high performance. There you have it

Lastly I discovered an ugly and disturbing trend here on nairaland. Some people have taken it upon themselves to create fake monikers to keep advertising Tecno and they even comment under the posts in a zombie-like fashion. I think this is really uncalled for as they are making the forum look like a dumpsite. A separate section can be created for phone advertising to curb this. They are taking up the space in this section daily in such a way that you get sick and tired while scrolling through.

Good advice here. If it's Tecno, strictly camon or phantom. If it's infinix, strictly Note or Zero. I've had a Phantom X2 for almost a year now. It's never slowed down, doesn't heat up(unless playing CODM at maximum graphics settings), battery is a beast, Cameras sharp and I've at least got one major software update so far and expecting one more.

Adewale1603:
I don't care of their recent or latest phones. It's their security, after sale support, customer service and warranty that matters in the long run.
tell me the reason why All these Tecno or itel android phones are not trackable when stolen or lost unlike iphones, Samsung and others.
So you'll still settle for such devices knowning in your mind that if it suddenly gets lost or stolen, it's gone forever, no option for tracking and possible retrieval

Tracking stolen phones is very expensive and it's the biggest waste of time. These days guys steal and sell the phones in a different country. And if it's iPhone or Samsung that can't be unlocked they'll tear it down for valuable parts like screen. The last 2 phones I lost were Realme 5 and Poco F3. I didn't waste my time, just saved up money for a new phone.

hansomb:
I have same problem especially when playing CODM, Redmi 9 with 4gb ram. Any slight slip from the game, will have to reload.

Lol, playing CODM on an entry level 5yr old phone in insane. You could put 20GB worth of RAM and it still wouldn't improve anything.

Almost every phone these days will produce nice day time pictures. If you're trying to make a good comparison do low light or in-doors photography.

noobody:


All I see are fake camera sensors,disguised to look like the real deal bro.

bro I'm exhausted, just take it the way you want. At least I've tried to get my point across.

noobody:


My reply is simple!!

Transsion disguised them as real camera sensors.

They put fake camera sensor holes on them.

Now calm down and go back to Redmi 10A you can only pin point to,
Did you see any fake camera sensor in the remaining 3 holes??you saw circles but not sensor.

Techno,Infinix,itel disguised there's as sensor,meanwhile it's empty,

I hope your brain can grasp the argument now

nope, it clearly indicated one as a flash light, which anyone with half a brain can clearly see. And the second one, is an auxiliary sensor that assists the main camera lens, it's not in itself a camera lens. And I've already proved to you that these other brands like Redmi and Realme also use this sensor on their phones. It may not be a camera lens but that doesn't mean it's fake or that it's useless.

noobody:



This is such a clownish move,

So now you are dragging tecno as an entity into this?

You are out of moves by the way you are denying your fellow transsion errand boy.

It is what you guys do best,tecno doesn't need to promote,that's why they have fake profiles on nairaland to spread fraud

All the multiple threads to promote Tecno on this space,when has Tecno in it self self ever opened such a thread?

It is mumu bots like you they give the useless job to go and spead false information Na,and it's obvious you guys don't even know what you are selling,as long as you are spamming nairaland.

By the way you said you won't reply me any more Na?

I didn't say it should be a nairaland thread. Show me something on their twitter/facebook/instagram or any marketing materials that implies that the phone is supposed to have 3 cameras.

noobody:
@Norman4real what do you have to say about this thread,

About transsion agents,opening multiple Monika to spread fraud,lies and scams??

https://www.nairaland.com/8020664/transsion-exposed-tecnoinfinixitel-full-lists

I guess that is a Normal transsion doing,just as you put fake camera on the back of phones.

Lol, none of those pages is mine so i wouldn't know about it. And btw you've successfully diverted the topic by trying to call me marketer. I did not deny that fake accounts exist, my argument was with you calling the 3 circles "fake" lenses when the phone itself is indicated that it's a single main camera.

noobody:


At least realme doesn't engage in fraudulent marketing tactics like tecno does

And I taught you wanted to drag more of Redmi,

You don search tayad,sote Na realme you bring into the agruement,

Dodoyoo dopemu



https://www.nairaland.com/7970925/cheapest-3-cameras-smartphone#128782330

Mean while it has one one mediocre camera.

okay, to settle this show me just one instance of tecno itself marketing a Pop 8 as having 3 cameras and I'll deactivate. I want you to show me tecno itself doing this, not some wannabe tech-reviewer that is clueless about what he's doing. Show me that tecno has advertised the phone as having 3 cameras. Coz if not then you are making a non-argument.
I've already showed you that having 3 circles is a design and aesthetics choice, it doesn't equate to false marketing.

noobody:



Buhahahahahahahahaha don't even bring Redmi into this,
They don't involve in dirty tricks and scams to sell market,
Techno got to the top by selling lies and deceiving you gullible customers,not Redmi.
Now back to Redmi 10A,you could have posted hard evidence like I did,
Here is a picture of Redmi 10A attached,please did you see any camera hole that is empty?it has one camera sensor as seen,one flashlight,2 blank space where AI and 13mp is written,it was not left blank with fake camera sensor
Unlike tecno and itel fraud,they decieve customers by making the camera hole look like a sensor.
Redmi 10A is simply a design choice,they did not leave the camera hole empty to deceive customers ,transsion can emulate such also,.
By the way transsion has over 10 phones with this lie,
Is it only Redmi 10A you can prove?

At least you replied better than the ediot who replied with sentiments.
Bring more evidence let's counter.

Exhibit number 2, heres the realme note 50. A low end phone released this year that also has the 3 camera circles and yet has only one 13mp camera lens. Tell me now if we should consider the entire realme brand as a scam simply because of this design choice.

Why does it have 4 circles yet the specs show that it uses a single 13mp camera. Explain that please... Coz according to your logic every circle must contain a camera lens otherwise it's fraud. Actually you can compare it to a Samsung A12 that has similar design and yet actually has all 4 lenses. By your own definition we should regard redmi as fraudsters too.
When you're done with this single example we can also look into realme and oppo that have made similar design choices and you'll tell me if they too are frauds.

noobody:



It's obvious you are parts of those registering new accounts daily here on nairaland

The reason why all those accounts can't reply at once is because,one account has to be logged in to reply before the others can log in

I know all your dirty tricks.

Plenty Monika just to spread lies and deceit.

You post 2 years ago or presently doesn't change anything

Just take the assumption as you see fit i guess. I'm in no position to convince you otherwise.

noobody:


Oh really,so basically you are given a plate of food with spoon,your assume it meant to be bathed with?
Its just the same way,when I see a device with 4 camera sensors,I automatically assume there are cameras there (like the plate of food I am supposed to eat it,)



Is that your claim that phones with 4 camera holes at the back,we are supposed to assume they are design choices?

So are you telling me apple,oneplus,Redmi,Samsung and the likes are making such false moves?

If a phone has just one sensor what is the need to put 3 empty sensors to deceive customers ??my point is why put them there to deceive customers if it's empty?
But if it was Redmi,you people would have created multiple Monika's and threads to spread the hate.

Cos this your argument nor just gel at all.

bro you're being so ignorant about this. Okay if you think this is only a tecno thing, i want you to take a look at the redmi 10a. Look at how many camera circles it has behind and then find out how many actual camera lenses are then. When you get the answer to that then try to actually look through various brands you'll realise that almost all of them do it. Especially with their lowest end smartphones. You'll then get your mind right.

noobody:


You transsion agents would go to any length to defend the fraud the company stands for,well I would be shocked to expect anything less,then you won't be paid.

Lol, so i make just one post about a Transsion phone every 2 years, and that makes me some paid agent. Lol, that's funny coz I'm not even Nigerian.
Now go to those posts and see if I've asked anyone to buy those phones or even posted a link to any external site.
Why is it hard for you to believe that someone can actually just be a fan of something without being paid to fake it?
You need to check yourself man.

noobody:


Wow,I have never seen ignorance shine so bright,but yet still stooopid.
You mean you are admitting to the fact that transsion is on purpose deceiving customers,with 3 big circles and there are no camera sensors in them?

But I am not shocked this statement came from you because obviously you are a tecno promoter,you would do anything to sell lies and deceit as always.

you can only call it "deceiving" if they actually claimed that those circles are cameras. If they never said that then it's you making a false assumption.

GTCO:


Says a known self confessed tinder scammer and Transion marketer.

of course you lack the capacity to make a valid argument so you just resort to insults and baseless claims. Oh well, go ahead and sue the company and we see how far that empty head gets you.

You made this whole thread to basically complain about nothing.
Is there an issue with the phone you bought? Is there something not working as advertised

So what if Facebook identified the device differently? Is Facebook's core purpose to identify and certify phone models?

The simple explanation here is that Facebook simply doesn't have the Hot 40i registered in whatever database it uses especially since it's a fairly new model.
Try using an app like Antutu whose core purpose is to verify and test phone specs and if that gives you different results then maybe we could have a problem to actually address.

Otherwise this thread is just nonsense.

You're just realising this now Where have you been .
Those huge bumps are just for design and aesthetics purposes. You can't necessarily call it "fraud" just because its designed to look good. On the specs sheets they clearly indicate if the camera has a single, dual or triple lens setup. Otherwise it's your own ignorance if you see 3 big circles and automatically assume that the phone has 3 camera lenses.

Nourahwilly24:
So cute🥹

definitely. This will be a hit if priced right

Some images

I've just been checking out the features online and i don't think I've seen a tecno phone that ticks all the boxes like this one.

Here's some key features that i really loved.
1264 x 2780 LTPO OLED screen. This is probably the highest resolution they've used on a phone(except the fold) this type of screen is better than the normal oled screen because it has variable refresh rate that can go as low as 1hz. Unlike the ordinary screens that only switch between 60hz and 120hz.
This is also the screen with the slimmest bezzels on a Tecno.

Dimensty 8200 CPU. it's dated by over a year but still one of the best upper mid range CPUs. It hardly gets better than this for a midrange. I expect it can handle any game thrown at it.

Cameras. It's got a triple set up and each lens is 50mp. Ultrawide, Telephoto and main cameras.
For the main camera they used the sony imx890 which has been seen on previous high midrange and flagship phones like Oneplus 11.

The design. From the images and videos I've seen online, it's got a very unique design that aims to mimic an actual digital camera, it's quite interesting. With a metallic frame and "vegan leather" back.

Other noticeable additions
Stereo speakers with dolby atmos support.
Infrared blaster.(Nice addition but i'd have no use for this)
LED notification light at the back.
12GB RAM, 512GB UFS storage.
Android 14. (Hopefully we get 15 LoL.)
70W fast charging. (Probably the fastest I've seen from tecno)

Lol, you switched from a flagship grade SD865 to a lower midrange SD4 gen 1.

I think first of all, it's you to blame for downgrading. You thought that just because the Note 12 is more recent, it would be a better phone.

Oh No... You bought the 4G variant.
I hope you weren't deceived into thinking you were getting the 5G model.

MSN1:

Redmi is a managable brand.
but any redmi with C, A or others attached to d name, nor de get head.
Sell dat thing go buy Galaxy S series u can afford.
dat ur fone cannot match outdated S7 for anything.
A girl dat uses Redmi Note 8 dat year, was Always using my outdated S7edge to take pics.
bros if its not Samsung, its not Smartfone.

s7 is a very bad option. Outdated software, fragile and easy to break, very weak battery life, over heating and limited internal storage.

It's your friend that scammed you. Take the phone back to him so he can claim this screen repair service, after all he's the one that bought the phone.

MartinsD12:

Yes you are paying for the curved screen, gorilla glass 5 screen , in display finger print scanner and more storage and ram compared to regular s23 besides it's an AMOLED screen so it's not that bad just wish it's a 5G phone

you're already getting too much at that price. Asking for 5g is a bit much. I hope I get the chance to hold it in hand and feel it's actual performance, the display quality and the camera.

obinna58:

Itel called it flagship, that’s my problem
A 16gig ram 4gig ram will outperform

that's just marketing phrases. You'd be an idiot to expect this to actually perform on flagship level with phones that cost 4 times as much.

obinna58:

It’s very bad

it's actually a good chip. Just not powerful enough to compete with higher mid range. But at least it's equal in performance to the Helio G88 and it's added advantage is that it uses faster UFS 2.0 storage.
