A Honest Review Of A Tecno LA7 User Porting To Redmi Note 7 by atheistandproud(m): 11:52am On Apr 30, 2019
I bought my LA7 from pointek stores for 44k in July 2018. I am about to give it to my younger brother and join the Redmi Note 7 train. Here's my review.

Camera: For a cheap 13MP sensor on an entry level smartphone. The camera is ok. It doesn't stack up to more expensive 12mp cameras on flagships but the camera dey try. Although its performance is horrible in lowlight.

Battery: This is the selling point of the phone. I am a heavy user. I use my phone as my workstation. I have MS word installed and can type for hours using a PC USB keyboard connected via OTG. I play PUBG, Nova Legacy and DLS all online and all heavy games for hours. When I first bought it, it lasted nearly 25 hours with very heavy use. Now it lasts about 18 hours or so on heavy use. It has never dropped battery while the screen was asleep. The battery also sadly has deteriorated quite quicker than expected.

Performance: It uses a quad core Mediatek 6737 processor that maxes out at 1.3GHz. My friend criticized me for buying it but till date, it's handled every PUBG update with some lag, as well SIM city, Dream league soccer, Nova, and work apps like Microsoft Word, MS office scanner, et al.
Down side: The RAM fills up quickly overtime and you have to clear the ram and cache manually after every use to ensure it runs smoothly. Keep every unused app in the freezer. If not, the phone will freeze and reboot. Tecno needs to work on reducing bloatware.

Connectivity: It has an okay array of connections including OTG, BT, 4G, WiFi, USB tethering, dual sim slots and SD card, and hotspot.

Design and Ergonomics: The phone is built with plastic, has a metal frame, looks like a 2018 premium phone be careful whilst carrying it about make boys no change am for you. no gorilla glass protection, get a screen guard asap. it's curved and heavy and can survive minor falls. my phone don fall well well sha.

Whilst Tecno may have started with good intentions. They have become tyrannical. They now sell poo products for high prices. Thankfully the coming of Huawei, Oppo, and Xiaomi (sorry Umidigi and Leagoo, you're just as bad) will cause Transsion to sit up.

The phone is under heavy usage. I have three suggestions.
1. Go to settings, enter storage, enter internal storage, go to apps, enter each app individually and clear cache.
2. Disable any app that you're not using that runs in the background drawing data like Phoenix browser, phone master, eagle news etc.
3. Reboot phone.
4. Use one app at a time.
5. If you can use a lighter app, like Opera mini instead of Chrome for example, it'll help.

Just a few suggestions bro. Give me feedback.

Also, check your service provider. If the sim you are using doesn't have enough network, switch it. That's another cause too.

Phoenix Browser is actually a lightweight mobile browser. It is lighter than opera mini and uc web. It is actually great for browsing and downloading.

Hi. I understand that Redmi 7a has been released. Do you have it in stock already, and if not, can you kindly confirm the price, and can you help place an order for it? I feel it is gonna be an improvement on the discussed Redmi 6a.
I await your response, please.
