Over the years, have spent more of my earnings on acquiring mobile gadgets as a tech enthusiast.

I had used a Samsung Galaxy S5, Blackberry Z30, Tecno Camon C8, iPhone 5S, and HTC One M8.

Whenever a new phone is announced, i rush down to gsmarena.com to look at the specifications and features of this new phone.

I make my purchase decision based on brand name, key specs, design, price, and how the key features could make my life better . How will a particular feature make my life better?

As a buyer, we should have different needs to satisfy, hence my argument is that no mobile phone is perfect and no mobile phone manufacturer will ever make one. Do you agree?

I used the Samsung S6 just because it was the flagship at the moment, i needed to boost my Ego in class, i wanted to feel like a big boy.

The Camon C8, was a Mid range Camera phone, that lacks the specs of a high end phone but i fell in love with its ability to take great photos that could rival high end phones at a cheaper price.


iPhone 5S was cool, good camera, decent battery but i got tired of its closed ecosystem. I only acquired it to have a feel of the iOS.

The Blackberry Z30 sole purpose is to manage my social media accounts and to manage my BBM. I have over 2500 contacts on BBM and it makes my android phones lag.

HTC One M8, my present phone. The only reason am still having the phone is the BOOM sound/speakers. Its got a decent battery, camera and design too.

So to say, i have different needs and no single mobile phone can satisfy these needs.

Feel free to make comments on why you are using your present phone and how your mobile phone is improving your daily life and making life easy for you.

EVERYBODY HERE SEEMS TO HAVE A TECNO PHONE FOR SECOND DEVICE. MY SUSPICION HAS EXPONENTIALLY GONE UP.

I think everyone has a back up phone except your main phone is a POWERBANK like the Tecno L8, Gionne that packs over 5000mAh

They come relatively affordable. And remember Tecno was a major player that took advantage of the death of Blackberry ever since BBM was rolled out on every smartphone OS platform. Am not surprised if everyone has a tecno phone.

Well, Instead of Getting a Nokia phone as a Second device. It's better to get a Tecno phone because it's affordable and Can do what other bigger phones can Do.

Exactly, who no like better thing But am just of the school of thought that wont use two Android phones together. Chai!!! For what reason! I gave my lil sister my C8 after I was gifted an HTC One M8. Even though the camera of the C8 was so great, I had to give it to my sis to use because I got a "better high-end smartphone" from someone I love and I have to use it.

I remember when My Nokia Touch got spoilt and I needed a budget phone to replace it. I checked here and read about the Tecno W4. The phone is amazing and I even use it for WiFi. Still Rocking my Samsung S6 Though

You're rich oh, epp me nah.

when I was using tecno610 Java product I thought am on top of the world in my community not known that am on bottom of the world when I discovered that I could not WhatsApp wit the phone, with poly bag nylon on my face I quickly order for a infinix hotspot 507. in fact am so excited because I can still use it for other things that my first chinko can not do, as a matter of fact I enjoy many things on it but wat render the phone useless in 4 my hand is the a friend snap in the night with his phone and the picture look as if we snap in the afternoon. I quickly look for a better place in pocket to keep the phone that is with me to the extend that I missed different calls from friends and family. This is wat prompt me to go for camon c9 that am using now. in fact I really enjoy the phone despite the fact that the phone is cost

Using a blackberry curve7 just because I can't afford a better one yet. I think I once droPped the features I want my phone to have here on nairaland. Its just rare!!

So we should start looking for ur comment abi? Anyway I agree with you. An all in 1 phone is still wanted by many while many already already have it. Our taste just still differ.

My Infinix hot 2 is serving me in all areas, playing music
Online 247, record music with the help of f1 studio which other people are yet to discover..

This shows that TECNO is the most widely used mobile brand in Nigeria presently. But I noticed one trend here on Nairaland_ When you mention TECNO, people will quickly call you a TECNO agent or marketer. But I think TECNO doesn't need agents and marketers to make their phones sell. All they do is to study the present situation of Nigeria and produce phones that meet our economic, Power and other serious needs...
I'm currently using Tecno L5 and it has saved me from the problem of running around to charge phone every day. Now I decide when to charge my phone, the phone doesn't decide for me as before.

Cool thread

I use an iphone6+ and a tecno Boom j8

The iphone gives me prestige and satisfaction

The Boom J8 is sleeky and that makes it very pocketable.

This phones makes me never bored, i use my j8 for playing game most times, and also listen to music

I use the tecno l8 and I must commed those that made the phone...the battery is really amazing for me,i love it so much.. Well in my next life,I'll still buy a l8

My area ehn,they don't even give us light at all,just once in a blue moon and I do alot with my phone than my laptop so its a really helpful device

It helps me a lot,my power bank is 5000mAh and my phone is 5050mAh,do the power bank is just an extra merchandise cuz I don't get to use it everytime,just one in a while and its just like that sha


I'm done giving my testimony

I was using a z30, alongside iPhone 6plus. The z30 was my main phone, the iPhone was secondary. My sis brought Xperia z2 for me wen she traveled out. Carrying 3 fones was now a burden. Facebook And whatsapp said dey won't support bb10 again. I sold my z30.
This is something I still regret. I'm still looking for anoda to buy. I loved the z30. The way u read nd send mails on bb10 beats all other os #fact. Also, mails drop first, on d z30, before the android. IPhone will still be thinking thinking and thinking before it drops. Those who use a bb10 nd any other os phone will agree to this. I'm not really digging android like that.. The only advantage of d Xperia z2 is dat I linked it with my ps4. So I can play my games from the console in my phone..

I miss my z30..
