Tecno Phantom 5: Here Are The Other Phones I Can Get For 70k by deewhy4ril: 3:17pm On Sep 17, 2015 |
Yes, Nigerians have been reacting heterogeneously about Tecno's premium stance with the launch of an addition to its phantom series, the Tecno Phantom 5 which costs N69,999 according to the recommended retail price. What most Nigerians are saying is that, they'll rather go for another brand even if it is second hand than buy a Tecno phone for 70k/ Yes, we have HTC, BlackBerry and even Sony that sells certain models of their phones at 70k. But then, the question is: are this phones actually better than Tecno Phantom 5. In my own opinion, I believe Tecno is trying to upgrade their brand to a premium one leaving Infinix, InnJoo and co to the low-end smartphone market. Even though this does not seem to be going on well, Tecno doesn't seem to be a relenting brand. Where do you see Tecno in 10 years time? Would you also go for phones with lower features but better brands rather than Tecno Phantom 5? http://www.techsoly.com/1eSDN |

Xiaomi produces better phones at very good prices...i would go for other brands all day. 70k ke? The phone suppose be like 55k tops.. Umi iron offers similar specs and is 43k plus dedicated site for custom roms and development.. Only diff is umi iron has eye scanner security and this tecno has fingerprint. 1 Like |

Tecno don dey grow wings, Them don forget where they were coming from. What is a Tecno device if not for the reasonable priced smartphone they offer? Have they Forgotten the main reason why the African and Asian market wholeheartedly accepted them was because of the affordability of their smartphone? Won't i go for a better brand rather than buying a Tecno for 70k? A river that forgets its source would in no time dry up. Keep going beyond your boundary TeKno! 1 Like |

temmym4: In my own opinion, I think Tecno is just trying to upgrade their brand with the advent of Infinix and InnJoo that are ready to snatch the low-end smartphone market from Tecno. |

deewhy4ril: Upgrade their brand? They run the same processor Innjoo and infinix operates on. Buying a Mediatek processor running device for such an amount of money is a waste in my opinion. 2 Likes |

I'd rather get a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua or a Samsung device - not because I find the price to be ridiculous for a Tecno, but because I am not a fan of the brand. I understand that the price might seem overwhelming, but you have to consider that this is a different device from the other Tecno devices. It comes in a full metal casing, Corning Gorilla Glass protection, and a Finger Print Sensor, amongst other things. These things do not come cheap. You don't expect Tecno to invest in these things and then sell the Phantom 5 for chicken change, do you? Xiaomi makes better phones than Techno, agreed. But if the Redmi Note 2 comes in a metal body and has a finger print sensor, chances are that it would cost more than the Tecno Phantom 5. I really don't understand the fuss. I just think Tecno is trying to improve on their products, and improvements do not come cheap. 3 Likes |

Craven:There are many phones that comes with all the things you mentioned gorilla glass, finger print etc but cost about 20k less than the Phantom 5. |

Craven:I will give you three names to check them out. 1. Elephone P8000. 2. UMI Iron. 3. Ulefone Be touch 2. All of these three have the same features with Phantom 5 yet they are currently sold for less than 50k. |

Bla bla bla. People are just hating coz they cant afford it. I know someone that got the phone and is very happy he got the Phantom 5 instead of the over expensive iPhone 6 Where do i see Tecno in 10 years time? I see them all over Nigeria and Africa because they are seriously upgrading deewhy4ril: |
Re: Tecno Phantom 5: Here Are The Other Phones I Can Get For 70k by JanethEze(f): 6:17pm On Sep 24, 2015 |
Oga go and research well. They decided to be based only in Africa in 2008. Africa is their market. Just like you will not see some phone brands in Nigeria but only in America or asia. Think well xtervaganza: |

Ehmmm what do you mean they are growing wings. Phantom 5 is their flagship phone. Its 70k, Its not for everyone. If you dont have money go buy the cheaper Tecno phones. And all this talk about rivers and boundaries; Yecno is growing and the thing dey pain u. U no get money, buy cheaper one. and who told u asia and africa accepted them because they are affordable? Even though that is the case, Tecno is still one of the most affordable phones in Africa. Will they come and put 32GB ROM, 3GB RAM, fingerprint sensor, dolby digital sound, HDD, octacore and sell it for u at 10k?? Think well before you start to talk temmym4: |
Re: Tecno Phantom 5: Here Are The Other Phones I Can Get For 70k by xtervaganza(m): 9:28pm On Sep 24, 2015 |
JanethEze:so what do you want me to research well again? When you just repeated what I had said earlier. And why would tecno decide to be in Africa only when they can make 10 times more mkney if they move global? They simply don't have the potential to be a global brand Deal with it |
Re: Tecno Phantom 5: Here Are The Other Phones I Can Get For 70k by drizzypat: 9:51pm On Sep 24, 2015 |
JanethEze: Lol bae why u so pained Dont mind em Dey feel a child will always remain a child There are reasons why apple still creates iphone 5 &5s up till date,even though theyve got a superior Its called a flagship And that name is suppose to mean something!!! Alotta ppl keep mentioning xiaomi sony samsung previous devices And didnt know xiaomi has a mi pad pro worth over 400$ Or samsung s6 curve worth 410$ Or sony xperia z5 worth 550$ These are flagship device,doesnt mean dey dont own smaller ones So abeg make una try go easy with them,just as u grow yearly so dey do,u dont expect dem to keep making peanuts everytime all in d name of helping d masses There will come a time injoo and infinix will also take a step also So let slide already Ppl just hate the name TECNO for no reason Jst because it started very little 1 Like 1 Share |
