Lol I don't know much about phones but bro, you lied somewhere. Huawei, Xiaomi sells in the US. This is a fact.

12rev:
No sire, its not about business but standards and ethics, these tecno and co claim what they dont have and unfortunately our ncc, son n co are not half useful as dead dogs.

grandstar:
There's loads of patent infringement by Techno and Infinix and theyd be in deep trouble were they to sell in the US or any country with strong copyright laws.

Llanthony401:
How did you come about this info? Do you have a source? I wonder how far the rabbit hole goes.

Lnzy:
Boss, the issue is not about penetrating US and European market, even bigger brands like the HTC, Sony are having a tough time competing with Apple and Samsung. The problem I have with techno, itel, infinix and other like brands is the way they quote specifications. Like the example the OP gave, you shouldn't tell me your product has a corning gorilla glass 3 , when Corning Inc. that makes the glass doesn't even know you exist.

greenhulk:
Nope, Huawei don't make or sell their phones in the US. U cannot go to at&t, verizon or sprint to purchase a Huawei phone. U can only buy the international unlocked versions from online stores and they come with no warranty. What does that mean, u spend $800 on a phone and within a week u find out it has some factory problems or that u don't like it, my guy u are screwed, no returns, no replacements. Mind u the US have been spoiled with these services. You can buy a Samsung phone and still return it within 30 days if u don't like it, u can't do that with Huawei because they are not officially sold in the US.

Lnzy:
Bros, what you should understand is that the likes of at&t, Verizon, etc are telecom companies, and they get into partnership with the OEMs, its more like a contract and both the OEMs and the telecoms benefit from this partnership. If you ask me, I will say the major reason why at&t and Verizon would not get into contract with Huawei is because they probably don't think it will be Worth it. Trust me, any day u hear that huawei has started selling close to as much phones as Samsung in US, at&t will most definitely get into partnership with them, but as you said their phones don't come with warranty and the average US citizen will not probably buy a phone without warranty. The truth as you pointed out is that this US and Europe people have been spoilt with great services that anything short of that is not acceptable.

Why Tecno, Infinix And itel Don't sell in Europe And US!

After my factual evaluation of transsion Holdings products, namely Tecno, Itel, and infix,  http://lodega.com/community/phones-and-tablets/why-every-sensible-nigerian-should-avoid-tecno-infinix-and-itel-brands/ a lot of fan-boys blew their top with emotional reactions. Some deftly pointed out I was on a propaganda mission to kill off the brand, others claimed I was a Samsung fan boy even when I never extolled Samsung.

The  truth is Tecno, infinix and Itel are getting better daily, the only problem is they are using poor, ignorant Africans as beta testers of their subpar phones and getting richer for it by selling lies, using bloggers to claim features their phones don't have or hardware it isn't equipped with.

So the ugly truth is that Africans are testing these phones without any international standard certificate or FCC or EC seal of conformity.

This is why Tecno, Infinix is avoiding regions of the world where strict conformity in regulation are observed, e.g US and EU. Because not one single Transsion Holdings brand could be found in these countries!

But Alas, true global Chinese brands like Xaomi, ZTE, Huawei, Gionee etc are all over US and Europe, because unlike Tecno they all got their international standard conformity approved and verified both by EU and US regulatory bodies.

Worthy of note is that HTC originating from a tiny country like Taiwan built the first android phone, the G1 and it's a global brand.

So the big question is why is Tecno and infinix hiding in Africa and India? Why isn't Tecno or infinix carrying EC and FCC seals?

Notably, one overzealous fanboy went about to claim infinix, one of Transsion Holdings brands uses Corning Gorrila glass on its phone when a listing of  brands using Corning doesn't show any Transsion Holdings brand using its product or technology. Yet it is claimed that Infinix Zero 5 uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Yes we found other Chinese brands like Huawei, Xaomi, ZTE, Gionee etc. But no Tecno or Itel or Infinix. To see list of devices using Corning Gorrila glass see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_devices_with_Gorilla_Glass

Also a list of OEMs and mobile manufacturers using Qualcomm chipset did not appear to list Transsion Holdings as using its chipsets. Yet Tecno claims an Infinix model uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 400 series. It's a barefaced lie!

For list of companies using Snapdragon 400 series see here  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Qualcomm_Snapdragon_systems-on-chip

We cannot afford to take the claims of Transsion Holdings at face value when no reputable, globally acknowledged critic/journalist have listed or reviewed this devices for what they truly are. For what we know, Transsion Holdings is exploiting poor regions of the world with lies and false claims.

I understand your view on standard. but if tecno would want to launch in Europe, all they need to do is to produce phones for European standard. shikena.

greenhulk:
Hmm, You can't live without me u had to mention my name. Anyway let me make this brief.

Yes Tecno, Infinix and Itel don't market their phones in the US, I don't even think they intend to, at least not in the nearest future. The US smartphone market is saturated and the US are critical of Chinese phones. Tecno is just a small company. Before u attack Tecno, first answer this question. Why do Xioami, Oppo, Huawei, ZTE don't sell their phones in the US. These are bigger names than Tecno. Aha.. so there is ur answer. So if those big guns can't enter the US, who come be small Tecno?

And to answer ur questions about alternative phones to buy.. first I need to make it clear. I don't use any Transsion phone. Though my wife uses Infinix hot 4 Pro which has been serving her since 2016. I also bought an infinix hot s same time she bought hers which was my second phone while Galaxy s6 was my main phone. I've long sold mine. It was a decent phone, though I had to change the charging port once, and my wife has also changed her charging port, but phone is still serving her. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, as a lot of people already know, my daily driver right now is LG V20 which has been phenomenal and I don't have any reason to change it right now. But there are lots of things people look for in a phone. Because I'm a heavy user doesn't mean everyone has to be a heavy user. Because I can buy a used flagship doesn't mean everyone has to buy a used phone, some people want their phones brand new.

Let's see some of the phones u mentioned
LG G5: u said its 50k, show me the shop where it is sold for 50k brand new
LG G6: Again show me where it is sold, LG didn't even sell this phone in Nigeria. The used one is sold for around 100k and above

Samsung galaxy s6: I can't even recommend this for my enemy. Very poor battery life, still over 50k for used one
Samsung galaxy s7/edge: Brand new one is still over 170k, used one between 80-120k
HTC 10: This one no even dey market, show me where it is sold
HTC U11: bro are u just mentioning phones for the sake of it? HTC didn't sell this phone in Nigeria, the used one is still over 100k
Sony Xperia XZ and XZ premium: I give up. Do u have any of these for sale at 60k? I will buy 3

I know u can order for these phones from overseas but how many people do u think have the time to order phones. So someone cannot enter a shop and buy a phone to start using immediately again abi? Me I don't have a problem ordering phone any product, but everyone cannot be like me, majority still prefer to enter shop buy what they want. And not everyone will like used phones.

Sam32:
Chinese brands are already penetrating Europe and USA, xiaomi marketing strategy has been to create a legitimate brand identity before penetrating tougher markets. Last's year xiaomi released Mi A1, an Android One phone to sell globally, and last last week they are already opening stores in European stories because they are certified to do so.

grandstar:
From what you write, you don't seem to understand the issue itself.

There's loads of patent infringement by Techno and Infinix and theyd be in deep trouble were they to sell in the US or any country with strong copyright laws.

kimbraa:
I used to tell my friends who are Techno users that nothing on earth would make me use a Techno phone, and each time I remind them, they get angry.

Why on earth would anyone buy a Techno worth of 35k when you can buy a Samsung for 50?

Xiaomi just launched their outlet in Paris this week as a plan to expand through Europe. But let's stick to the topic here.. which is the US market. We all know Xioami is much better brand than Tecno, in fact redmi 5 is the 5th best selling phone in Q1 2018 only beaten by the iphone. But for such a company to not penetrate the US market then who is Tecno? Xioami will probably penetrate the US market in late 2018 or early 2019,but right now they haven't.

And talk about creating legitimate brand identity,Xioami started by copying Apple, though they have since grown and formed their own identity.

bella18:
our economy contribute much to all this, we cant buy those other brands, techno is a better choice

CHESTER48:
fake inferior products. Person go come. Now say, infinix and tecno are cheap, and that nobody can afford Samsung or HTC, LG. Etc. The truth is most of these phones are old but cheaper and better. Example. LG g5 now goes for 50k with snapdragon 820.bring the highest tecno phone, can't compete with it. So why buy fake inferior things at price u can buy better older phones whig still performs better than the recent tecno or infinix?
Phones to buy include
Giomee
Xiaomi
Honor series. The hone 7x cost 200 bucks on amazon. That 62k
Older versions of phones such as
Lg g5
Lg g6
Samsung s6, s6 edge
Samsung s7 s7 edge
HTC 10
HTC ull
Google pixel
Nubia z11
Sony Xperia xz, xz premium. Etc
All these are phones you can get below 100k right now from amazon new or used.

We have tecno phones costing 60k or 70k.why no buy honor 8 or 7x.
Or even xiaomi mi 5?

Oh, man is wiki a personal website too? How come you're deflecting the facts with irrelevant issues.

These are the facts.

* Transsion Holdings announced its recent devices use Corning Gorrila glass and Corning doesn't list Tecno or infinix or Itel as OEMs using its technology or hardware

* Transsion Holdings says some of its devices use Qualcomm's Snapdragon chipset. Again Qualcomm didn't list Tecno or infinix or Itel using its Chipset.

* Two global bodies, the EC and FCC certify all global brands to affirm they comply with international standards. Transsion Holdings do not send their models to these bodies for certification.

I understand why you choose to avoid facts for cheap smear, afterall, it's not a nice realisation that you're a consequence of scam.
