My aunt needed a change of phone, so I strolled into a Tecno store (she has always been a fan of Tecno), and told the shop attendant my spec. Smart as she is, she took me straight to the L8 stand, and there the beauty was, waiting to be held by me. Its metallic nature and beauty made it stand out.
The L8 has three gorgeous colours; Gold, Silver and Gray. I chose the silver which happens to by my aunts’ best, but here is the twist; my aunt had told me she needed a durable phone, especially because it was the third time she was changing her phone in 7 month. This is because of the numerous children running around her. So, when I told the attendant I needed an affordable, durable but beautiful phone, L8 came straight to her mind.
Trust me, it is not over rated, especially because my aunt loved it immediately she saw it.

Enuf of this phone na haba

Durability in what sense??


The body or the screen?

Price?

Domwiz4all:

If u are advertising, at least say the truth no need to lie. Tecno L8 is not made of metal... It plastic, same way gionee fans claim that the m5 is metal when it is made of plastic. Even innjoo claimed that their flex tablet has a mettalic back when it is actually made of flimsy plastic with some cheap mettalic paint that peels off within a few days of use. Not that plastic is bad for phones, Samsung galaxy s5, lg g3 and g4 are made of plastic and are very good phones with superb build quality.... No need to lie.

At least get your facts right before blabbing sir. If that phone is used to hit your sorry head, you won't survive it. Tell me it's plastic. I am not in support of stupid adverts from cheap Tecno but I don't like people that feel like they know, and they don't know shit.

OK, it is obvious u are one of the people that have been deceived to think that phone is made of metal. Trust me I felt the same way when I bought my Innjoo flex but after a few days the paint started peeling off revealing it's ugly self and I looked closely and found out it is actually made of plastic. Next time do ur research well before quoting me.

I am not just quoting you or talking, a cousin of mine actually uses the phone and it is metal. This is a review by one of those numerous websites, so it is not advisable that we always take their words for it. You should know that as soon as you mentioned it, I went back to her phone to check if it is metal, and I was not disappointed. I'm sure some techy nairalanders will not mind knowing the website you got this information from, because L8 does not even have white or black. There is only Gold, Gray and Silver.

Lol don't make me laugh Abeg. U should know I normally make my research well before posting anything online. That picture was from bestmobs. Now if u think they are wrong then are all the websites from the pictures below also wrong? Look if u have never used a metal phone before then u might not know how a metal phone feels in the hands when u hold it so I don't blame u. That thing is plastic with a metal paint covering it. FACT.

Thanks jare for the expose.

In addition, the L8 spot an outdated dual core processor.

Hate u say? U should see my other posts where I defended the boom j8 against gionee m5. U are free 5o believe in what u believe in, it still doesn't change the fact that the l8 is plastic covered with s metallic paint. Does that alone make it s bad phone? NO. When u grab a metal phone, u will experience the cold feeling.

OP, Now that we know the Phone has a Metallic Removable back, Can your Aunty use a such heavy Phone?
