Even HTC is venturing into MTK chipset... Says a lot.

Nsonaso: Bro you forgort that GiONEE is still in Nigeria, India and China and many other countries or you mean GiONEE don't Pay for their operations in Nigeria and India? and don't pay Tax for manufacturing both in China and India because they have Manufacturing plant in both Countries

You can't compare the number of Service Centers Tecno has in Africa to that of Gionee. More outlets, more running expenses.

Not much difference between Gionee and Tecno I'll say (when it comes to price). But I think Gionee is a much better manufacturer.

texazzpete: What specs? The ones that are worse than those of the 2013 Galaxy S4, with zero likelihood of getting any further OS updates?

Buy this and you'll miss out on android L with all it's attendant goodies.

The One plus is a MUCH MUCH more solid deal than this.

Well, I never said this is the best deal.

Like I said before, it all depends on the pros and cons.

Paulinho instead of Fernandinho, Willian instead of Bernard, Alves instead of Maicon, and Ramires instead of Hulk in the starting line-up I believe would have made this game different.

Lorlaahlozz: Y u think sey I dey support them

Eeyah... sorry o

But be happy, because a lot of Brazil girls will shave of their hair as a way of mourning. So there will be glut of brazillian hair. That means brazillian hair will now be cheap.

Lorlaahlozz: All u girls dah use brazillian hair...join hands and pray fr brazil

You nko? U no dey use am?

What about the memory card that came with the phone?

kstyle2: will brazillian ashis have the enthusiasm to work tonight?

Who go patronize them sef?

OohMpa: [color=#808000]Its way overpriced[/color]



[color=#808000]What is your point?

Those other phone manufacturers don't pay taxes to their own government?
Their staff dey work free? They even spend more with their R&, OTA updates and even publications
And yet they have those prices up there[/color]



[color=#808000]Even 60k is a ripoff compared to those phones up there

This is MTK for Pete's sake
Cube talk 9x with an octacore mtk8592 has antutu of over 40000, retina screen and the likes yet it's still $199

MTK is cheap and Ooh Mpa no like that price at all[/color]

Tecno will pay in two ways..
They'll pay taxes for manufacturing in China, and they will pay for their operations in Nigeria.

Cube talk 9x @ $199? that's so not true...

Mou was right! Thiago Silva is the key player for Brazil, not Neymar!

Don't console me

shogz89: Bro both have the same spec and both where on the same price at lunch,,, the major difference is that the a+ has refused to drop in price while the e3 has fairly reduced

A+ is between 32 & 34k na.

Very nice phone.

$36million or N36million? I refuse to believe jare.... I don't think any single store stock goods worth such amount.

The robbers carted away with 7 Trucks fully loaded with samsung products all valued at about $36million.

7 trucks can never contain Samsung goods worth $36million.

To even think of it that there was no encounter with security men makes this story more ridiculous. You can't stock goods worth $36million without employing the services of stern looking security men.

With this specs, I can say Tecno has really evolved, and it is positioning itself to serve as a competition against the phone giants.

Although the price may be a little on the high side, I don't think it is too over-priced,

To those comparing Tecno prices with other chinese phones you see on AE and other websites, don't forget that Tecno has physical presence in Nigeria, it pays taxes to the government, it builds/buy/rent service centers, it pays salaries of staffs e.t.c, and lately, it's investing in advertising. All these finances are incorporated in the prices of it's phones.

Also, regarding those downplaying the MTK chipset, kindly note that the latest series of MTK chipset are very good such as MT6582, MT6589 and MT6592. They are really good enough for activities ranging from normal to heavy usage, don't let those big name chipsets deceive you, the only big advantage they have over MTK is probably early support for new android versions.

All in all, I think Tecno Phantom Z would be good enough at the price of 60k (68k might be due to the hyping by the distributors, might not cost up to that).

My submission doesn't mean that if i have 60k, I will not go for other options cheaper than this, it all depends on my assessment of the pros and cons.

^^^Ignorance SMH.

I like Sunday Oliseh tho

Knock-off I guess

Yomieluv: Apology accepted,but a muzzle should be use on him always,to avoid further occurrence..without that,he would do that again..bad habit hardly dies.

Screen type: TD-SCDMA is IPS Gorilla Glass while WCDMA is IPS OGS Gorilla Glass.

All other specs remain the same.

NB: OGS means "One Glass Solution" i.e both sensor and screen use a single glass. This allows for better display.

I'm getting the Jiayu G2f WCDMA version very soon tho....

Although I ain't happy wit d fact that d WCDMA version screen res is 854 x 400 as opposed to d TD-SCDMA Version which is 1280 x 720....

But d WCDMA Version is OGS! Me likey!

ITbomb: This is the most objective post I have seen since the beginning of the crisis.

I remember a user creating a thread on what he had observed and Seun ask him for screenshots, I'm not sure he provided it. About 4 more people complained about some unknown pop ups on that thread.

I'm sure the admin thought it was a code issue rather than a direct assault and didn't take precautions.

Linda is and would be more disastrous

Yes, I was on that thread, I also complained of not being able to login from the FP (if I click d login link from d FP) as it takes me back from the login page to d FP back without logging me in.

The attack was a slow and gradual one.

biomedixexcel: Does anyone know if airtel still charge double data deduction

Yes, Yes and Yes!

France 98 - 99 Nigeria

Superstar007: What signs are you talking about?

People complained about some things they noticed.

I guess it was a virus attack.

madridfc: I believe Seun backed up his files? Cos we all do, if that's the case; what's now stopping him from restoring the files?

I believe the last full backup was done a long time ago.

Nairaland was hacked.

The signs were there before the final shutdown....
