TECNO Mobile has always been dominating the Africa's smartphone market with their affordable smartphones. It'll take other years to beat them.

Before nko, how many people can afford the price of Samsung in africa? People have to settle for cheaper useless phone just to be in the league of smartphone user

salford1:

Those two can afford to cut Africa off without taking a hit to their earnings. Most iPhone and Samsung phones in Africa are London used.

Hndrrxxx:
But when will they stop dishing out dog shyts to their users

Africa is the poorest continent per capita....what did u expect... in the Americas, Europe and Asia, iPhone tops ...those are rich continents

Tekno is not even among the top 10 phone brands in the world... 1 Samsung, 2 Huawei, 3, Apple, 4 Xiaomi, 5 oppo

TECNO Mobile has regained it top spot as Africa's Top Smartphone Brand of the year 2020 after displacing Samsung Mobile, riding on a successful launch of models in the affordable segment and continued market spending, according to Counterpoint Research’s Market Monitor service.

The Transsion brand achieved this feat against the backdrop of a 6.7% YoY fall in Africa’s smartphone shipments in 2020. Much of the damage was done in the first half of the year due to retail and supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19, which were partially offset by a swift recovery in the second half due to pent-up demand.

Speaking on the market dynamics, Senior Analyst Yang Wang said, “Looking at the entire year, the African smartphone market outperformed other regions but was not immune to disruptions caused by the pandemic. Q2 2020 was especially difficult as demand was hammered when most countries entered lockdowns. Smartphone shipments during the quarter saw a YoY drop of 27%.”

Wang added, “Restrictions started easing in July. Demand followed suit, riding on a surge in promotional activities, even as COVID-19 cases ticked upwards heading into the Christmas shopping season. Q4 2020 actually eked out a 1.5% gain in YoY terms, the best quarter on record.”

Speaking about smartphone prices in the African market, Wang said, “The ASP decreased 15% between 2018 and 2020, and today over 80% of Africa’s smartphone shipments come from the below- $200 band. We can expect further replacement of feature phones by entry-level smartphones, leading to the ASP likely remaining under pressure in the next few years.”

2020 also saw sales of the first 5G capable smartphones in Africa. 5G is unlikely to be a main factor in the African market in the next few years though, as the deployment of 5G commercial networks is still in its infancy in the continent. Still, there is room for 5G smartphones in Africa, especially if prices can drop below $200, as Counterpoint expects to happen in the near future.

I don't think it's bragging. Trying to make headlines and informing the public about this feat isn't bragging to me.

Ajilenu:
in some parts of America, TECNO still has a sizeable market share too, including some parts of Asia

Yourfav:
Samsung phones are not cheap, their spare parts nor be here but they made it to number 2 on the list. No be by poorest oga, people actually know what they want

OlofofoAdugbo1:


point of correction!!!

over here in africa, to own a phone, I will have to pay full money , even iphone!!!

in europe and america, larger percentage of them pay installmemtally to own a phone.

so please who is poor and who is rich

Saltybear:
Lies
Fake chinese data

Chinese always falsify data and the clueless Nigerians working for them will be jubilating

So if you outselll Apple it means your phone is better than iphone? Dummies it's just showed why companies are leaving .. nigerians became poorer in 2020. Less people could afford good phones hence had to settle with the garbage tecno and infinix phones

But once things improve for them they dump those stupid phones and buy good phones

Very foolish mumu company. If you want to know how nigerians really see your phones make it the same price as samsung and iphone then if you sell 3 pieces let me know . They use the cheapest lowest quality parts so they can sell cheap rubbish and call them phones

Pure water is the highest selling water in Nigeria doesn't make it the best it's just that people can't afford bottle water .

Very mumu company ..

Macsjebs:

Not much sha, but y the comparison by mentioning Samsung n others, that's exactly their message, not the feat, they trying to get the elites too, that's y they have started producing expensive phones l, they now have phones worth over 100k.

Although we can say same for Samsung producing mid rangers/entry level phones - but these are done by subsidiaries not Samsung themselves

Saltybear:

Says the one who is clearly sulking

Boo hoo hoo hoo
ironic!! you're the one who wrote a long epistle just to make Tecno look bad, clean your tears bro

Mrlcredible:

Auskyd:
