dude that was a torture test. are like they said, only the speaker had problems. in the vid i posted, for a phone to stay in a cup of water overnight, if that is not water proof then i dont know what that is. the htc 10 is water resistant but cannot be in water for half that long.

oluwadaemilola:
What are you saying gon sef

i dont understand your sentence

excanny:


There's a difference between "water-resistant" and "water-proof". Go learn.

dude both s5 & s7 is water proof!

Your point is pointless. 7.1 is different frm 7 0 even tho they are both nougat. Viewers who know nothing will conclude phantom is on 7.1 which isn't true. So learn to write the actual facts about things.


1

what are you saying? read your post again

lookingfly:
I've mtn customer many times and all are putting the blame on the settings of the phone.everything on the phone has been set to english.can programing of the phone rectify this problem?

upgrading to win10 could

ollah1:


And it was 7.1 right ?

my point is on android nougat not 7.1. it could be 7.0 but it wont make sense to write 7.0 since 7.1 was already out for months now

baike:
my problem with all this phones is the screen size as for me i cant use phone of 5.5 or 6.0 becus I dont like big phones 5.0 is ok for me

your head is there asin. my current phone is 4.7 inch

gadgetsngs:
S7 is already getting Android 7, same cannotbe said of P6 in the near future ,S7 has a Wter resistant variant http://www.gadgetsng.com/2016/05/samsung-galaxy-s7-active-specs-price-in-nigeria.html ,same can not be saidof Tecno p6

s7/s7edge itself is water resistant!

ollah1:


Lol. Are u familiar with screen-to-body ratio on phones? Some phones are actually smaller than the actual size. Example is the S7 edge, Xiaomi Mi Mix while some phones are bigger than the actual size cos of poor screen to body ratio and huge bezels. Examples are iphones


@op how can phantom be on 7.1 when pixels just stated receiving the update. Easy with lies nah

do you know pixel was not the first phone to come with android nougat? then you'll know its possible. all they need is at source.android.com

lookingfly:
Hello peeps, please I need your help. Am using Nokia Lumia 925T(cyan) but the problem I have is that when I send the mtn balance code *556# or *559# the reply comes in Chinese.What could possibly be the cause of these cos i've set everything on the phone to english but yet it still displays in chinese.also,how do i check my account balance on mtn using sms?

you can call 180 or 556
the issue is from the network not the phone

Lordaweezy:
1. An Ota can always fix that, it's not an issue
2. Nowadays, which flagship phone comes out with 5.0" of screen. You just have to follow the large the trend.
3. This should be added, even xiaomi phones that are cheaper comes with a finger print scanner. It has become a norm for flagship phones to have a fingerprint scanner.
4.This should be improved in their phantom 8
5.Hope you know that the inclusion of this feature will lead ultimately to the increase of the price of the phone. It is a welcomed improvement though but it is not compulsory.

1. hopefully, considering that tecno does not have a reputation for updating thier phones.
2. s7 = 5.1 inch with slim bezels
iphone 7 = 4.7 inch
google pixel = 5.0 inch
htc 10 = 5.2 inch

excanny:
When it comes to anything Tecno, it must be close to perfect as God.

Samsung S7 edge isn't on Nougat. It is not water-proof and isn't small screen but Tecno is always fun to pick on.

Go and sleep jor.

s7 edge has a nougat update and is waterproof

i toughg wiz cancelled all his shows due to health problems?

he even get time to reply them.
tecno has grown, yes! but still is not and cannot be apple.
he was talking about the brand not product.

then let my life be ruined

1. Android 7.1 Nougat
The new version of android offers a lot of useful features and had one of the longest list of changelog among all android versions ever released. The version of android had been released for a long time enough for tecno to program it for the phantom 6 which was released late this year.

2. Smaller screen version.
Tecno released two screen versions, 5.5 inch and 6.0 inch. Knowing that not everybody is a fan of big screen, this is not an option because they are both big screens! Anybody that can use a 5.5 inch could as well settle for a 6.0 inch and vice versa. But a 5.0 inch phantom 6 could had made a whole lot sense.

3. Finger print reader (phantom 6)
The phantom 6 (not Plus) did not come with a finger print reader, and for a 90k Plus phone, it is a no no. The phantom 6 however has iris scanner which is far more time wasting and less accurate than a finger print reader.

4 . Better design (phantom 6 Plus)
Phantom 6 design was on point, phantom 6 Plus was not. Phantom 6 Plus could had been more sleeker like than phantom 6 if not more. Mobile phones play a big role in our fashion and style, and a good looking phone is needed, knowing the way people look at our hands today.

5. Water proof
Almost every flagship of 2016 came water proofed sadly not Tecno's Phantom line. We have gone pass the days of having to wrap your phone in a nylon when it's raining, or having panic when you spill a drink on your phone probably during meals. In the phantom 6 case, you'll still have to open up the phone and keep it under hot sun, then pray that nothing goes wrong with it.

#NAPSA2016

See you at NAPSA2017

seen it before. nothing exicting bout it.

but forget o, airtel has my fav tv commercial now

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9QOKJ0FGk90


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wp-oU-Z43mE
this one i only like when he said "as i don join una for family and friend, i don become family"

MizMyColi:
I can't remember any now, save for those of Tecno.

If na juju them do me ontop Tecno matter, then I must have digested it well!

Funny enough, this is the first time I'm seeing this particular Tv Commercial.

They tried. Their ads now look more tushh and classy.
Before, it used to have a tinge of locality no matter how much they try.

Way to go Tecno, way to go.

well................... i think i know a pastor

i am intrested too o. but i dont have capital yet
