Wow, nice one. Samsung are not smiling and Transsion didn't come here to play o.

Wait o, this company Transsion owns Tecno, itel and Inifinix?

This is great. Looks more like AB split testing in Digital Marketing. Transsion kinda know what works better for them, whilst also maintaining strong competition from the "flanks."

Can't even see some other brands on the list. Samsung bossing as usual. Tecno staking a claim too.

Yeah. And it is good for them. This way, they will have a high market share.

..

hmm but vivo just got transmission in the confusion of the confusion and transmission in the confusion

Tecno if I'm correct brought the dual sim to Nigeria. They had one time a 3 sim phone.

Their parent company Transision obviously done impeccable market research and have brought our phones to meet Nigerian and African tastes. Their phones will be pricier if they did pay for patents

Just buy my Samsung galaxy S8.

That's common knowledge. It's old news

I expected tecno to be number one. Who appreciates mediocrity better than us

grandstar:

You are wrong, many unnamed Chinese phones have supported dual sim even before Tecno got here.

I can't find my GIONEE on that list.


The list is a scam

How did Samsung manage to be at the top? Their devices, especially parts, are too pricy!
