Don't compare Nokia and Blackberry with Tecno.

We all know android is the most popular operating system being used in Nigeria, customers evolve but the brand refused to.

From symbian,Nokia refuse to produce their smartphones with Android instead they tried to create their own operating system which was a total failure from there they move to windows which was also a bad deal.

Bear in mind , Nigerians haven seen Tecno with 3.5 Inches display screen and Android operating system didn't even waste time to switch,I was a symbian fan boy and switch to android.

Imagine buying a android phone for #12k then,tell me Which other brand did that? I'm talking about 2011,2012.

Same with blackberry, people were getting tired of moving around with charger, every thing got bad when they allowed android to use BBM.

That was the end of it.


You see,don't compare cos Tecno have come a long way.

This pure trash , bro tecno is dead

Forget all this your sympathy whipping

Transsion lost the ball and it never comes back around except you are a Nokia and transsion has never had the reputation Nokia has in the hearts of Nigerians ..infact no company has, hence why Nokia came.bsck strong as an Android phone and is doing well.

Tecno ,infinix and itel are low budget garbage.. Nigerians got tried of their fake specs, poor quality parts , bloatware filled devices

Nigerians needed a change and Nokia , xaomi and Samsung stepped in

Samsung mid-range devices are the best in the country .. good quality build and original parts not the fake parts transsion uses in their phones

Nigerians just got tired of being cheated

Sorry the ship has sailed

business is about anticipating the future.
nokia's success led to hubris. they did not see that symbian was a dead game on time, and they then invested or partnered with Microsoft, which turned out to be a bad gamble. microsoft also made the same mistake of underestimating apple.

transsion is less than a 5th the size of samsung. all samsung had to was watch them, understand their market, and then yank it out from under them.
DSTV has done same with Gotv

Best comment here

You understand business models

Anyway Majority of Samsung phones sales worldwide are in the mid range, the flagship fails to compete with apple every year in terms of sales, back to the topic Nigerians are now realizing the sub par product Transsion is pushing out but still it'll take years to establish a foothold in Nigeria market as Transsion has.

This post is very very on point.
Check throughout Nigeria these days....more and more people are opting for mid range Samsung smartphones.
And honestly, I think infinix, tecno and itel have overstayed their welcome.
They have become very boring.

I moved from techno to a70


Mad phone. Nice move by samsung

Same here

Lol, Xiaomi doesn't spend so much money on marketing, that will increase the price of products. The fans do the marketing for them.

There's a business model they are using to conquer nations. They did it in China and India.

They are currently using the same model here in Nigeria.

In 2 years time, Xiaomi will take over the Nigerian mobile market share.


Relax, Xiaomi knows what they are doing.

Tecno recently crashed the price of thr phones... A tecno phone with same specifications with a10s is 30k while a10s is 45k.

How do u think Samsung will win this fight..

From my experience with some of the Samsung midrange phones, Nokia midrange Android phones , they are not worth the noise.


Samsung A10s with 2gb Ram and no full hd screen is 45k?people are actually buying name.

A phone with 2gb Ram at 45k?
How much is Infinix Note 5 Stylus?


Gionee S10, 6gb Ram and 64gb rom is 35k to 40k.
There are better phones from infinix and tecno at 45k

That is you however the reality on ground shows xiaomi has a long way to go in pushing their products in the market

Where is the reality biko is it the one in your vicinity? People are wising up to the power of Xiaomi. Xiaomi offers you amazing phones with incredible specs, durability and design for cheap prices. Giving you true value for your money. Check it out, Samsung phones and Xiaomi phones with similar specs and see the price difference.

I personally know 4 people who made the switch to Xiaomi and many others who are planning on switching to get RN8. I have seen many Xiaomi phone users here in banks, on the streets in classes. See people are getting wiser now, why spend a huge amount for a Samsung phone when you can get a Xiaomi phone of similar specs at a lesser price.

Speak for yourself mister.

Which Nigerians ,how many Nigerians? Where do you carry out your research?

People will still be buying Tecno oga ,so stop saying Tecno is dead.
You're the one talking trash bro,which Nokia is in the heart of Nigerians,keep decieving yourself mister.

How many people do you see using Nokia android phone since they started producing it? Compare it to those using Tecno.

Now I know you have comprehension problem,it is a very big issue for you,go back and read my post again. Saying Tecno is dead is nonsense,they made other phones become cheaper in the market.

Till tomorrow people will still be buying Tecno even if Xiaomi , Samsung and Nokia are available.


Btw I'm using redmi note 5 so stop whining like a kid, when I look around me I see people,a lot of them still going for infinix and Tecno.

You saw 4 persons using Xiaomi but I see thousands of Nigerians buy tecno or infinix on daily basis

Same here buddy... Same here. Windows10 just has a place in my heart, though I know it's time to move on

[quote author=NaijaTechGuy post=83661947]Over the years in Nigeria, Samsung has been one of those brands that build devices for premium users. Their flagship devices in the S series and Note series are highly rated among users in the Nigerian Android community. Considering the specifications their flagship smartphones come with, I wouldn't actually blame them for putting the devices at price range they usually sell it.



This year Samsung released about 5-6 premium devices - Samsung Galaxy S 10, Samsung Galaxy S 10 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S10e (This is the smallest and cheapest version of the Samsung Galaxy Series), Samsung Galaxy S10 5G (The 5G variant of the S Series devices), Samsung Galaxy Note 10 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus.

All these devices cost between N100,000- N350,000 depending on the variant you choose to buy. If Samsung had decided to stick with the usual yearly line up they would still make money, they're a big company and it's quite easy for them to make huge sales. However, Samsung decided to enter the mid-range smartphone segment that has been dominated by the Transsion boys for a while (By Transsion boys - I mean Tecno, Infinix and Itel) . This move has disrupted the market massively.



Transsion Holdings business model is quite easy to notice if you are very observant - Itel devices handle the entry-level smartphones for the lower class of the economy, while Tecno and Infinix build devices for the middle class.

The purchasing power of the middle-class all together trumps the ones of both the elites and low-class part of the economy, giving Transsion a lot of customers to push their products to and the business model worked extremely well for them till Samsung, Xiaomi and Nokia came into the picture.

Samsung, Xiaomi and Nokia are dragging the community away from Tecno and Infinix because of two main reasons

1.Tecno and Infinix suck at sending updates : There's nothing customers love more than constant updates, even if it's not a full OS upgrade, minor software updates gives users a very subtle impression that the brand still knows their device exists and is working to improve it. The Transsion boys really suck at this.



2.Tecno and Infinix aren't totally innovative: When it comes to design aesthetics you would agree with me that there hasn't been any mind-blowing design from these two brands. All they do is take cues from other brands and add minor design changes.

The difference between the brands are quite obvious. I know you're judging me for comparing the transsion boys to global brands but I believe they can do better. For example only the Tecno Spark 3 Pro was confirmed to receive Android 10 and it's still in beta - You can access that on Tecno's page by googling "Tecno Spark 3 Pro Android Q beta program". That's one device out of over 20 other recent ones out there they confirmed is getting the update and like I always say -That sucks.



Samsung on the other hand is taking advantage of the fact that they are more popular to stay ahead of Xiaomi and Nokia. I was talking to a friend about this some days ago and he made some very interesting points.

1.Most people are skeptical of using Xiaomi because of the "Chinko" factor

2.Nokia on the other hand just came back to the market after their failed partnership with Microsoft and only extreme loyalists would go back to them. However, Nokia would sell more in Nigeria than Xiaomi because of their previous reputation.

On my own part I feel the "Chinko" factor is a misconception. Xiaomi devices are awesome, the Android OS running on MIUI is amazing and it's one of the best I've seen so far. However, Xiaomi would have to battle that while Samsung would be on a cruise in the market.

Samsung's A Series is their response to the mid-range segment and boy are they working wonders. The smallest device in the lineup the Galaxy A10 has 2GB RAM , an Exynos Processor and 32GB of internal storage and the device costs less than N40,000.



Samsung has literally a device on every price range from 36,000 - 120,000 naira. Here's a list of devices on their lineup.

Samsung Galaxy A10 & A10s

Samsung Galaxy A20 & A20s

Samsung Galaxy A30 & A30s

Samsung Galaxy A50 & A50s

Samsung Galaxy A70 & A70s

Samsung Galaxy A80

Samsung Galaxy A90

Samsung released 12 phones covering literally every reasonable price range in a space of one year and the phones have been a hit. I use a Samsung device and I've received updates more than 4 times in less than 4 months.

Updates lets users enjoy their phones for as long as they want and only upgrade when they want to, Transsion's business model of refusing to push constant updates so customers would buy new phones isn't acceptable and if care isn't taken, they'll lose a lot of customers to Samsung and the new boys in the Nigerian smartphone market

In this state i would like to say Samsung remain the best for me
Am using tecno camon CX and Samsung A10
The tecno is used as network supplier to the Samsung cos i find everything needed on the Samsung
Both have same ram size buh Samsung way far better than the camon CX
Buh still luv both....��

Which Nigerians are you referring to? You mean those wealthy ones that make up 2% of the population or those into dubious means?.

Been using Samsung since 2008 to be precise, never had a single regret at all. Was hard to even consider IPhone then cos the apple iOS software was too retricted for my Fone use bt i used other apple products.


Techno and the rest grabbed a budget friendly zone/space/vacuum in the market and I give them Thumbs up for the initiative.
