Camera samples from the F7 don't seem to be as good as from the D1 but you know the pictures are scaled down so it is hard to compare.

twinskenny: am selling my F7.. cause i just got another phone as a gift from a cuzin.. if u are interested let me know. everything is still intact, colour is white am in lagos if u price well maybe is ur lucky day.. call me on 08051355133

Battery life is average under 3G and HD gaming. I once likened it to Blackberry battery expect full drain in 6 hours if you push it hard but if you follow battery saving tips it'll last the whole day.

As for freezing, I only experience freezing after I have opened like 3 - 4 HD games without exiting and then maybe a call comes in or maybe I change the system theme. However in under 30 secs it is back to itself again. Another thing to note is this doesn't happen frequently, I doubt an ordinary user should be encountering such except he/she has installed something that swallows system resource so you need to be careful what you install.

All in all a pretty good phone. I have experienced lagging in only one game so far and that was Batman (the newest one I think). If you are considering buying the Tecno F7 as well I would say only go for the F7 if your budget is highly constrained or else the Gionee is a better smartphone all round.

viazi: @all those buying things from alibaba and aliexpress should be very carful. the most secure way to buy from these sites is the ESCROW payment option, any other means put U at the risk of loosing your money. There are also lots of substandard cloned goods flooding those sites.

As for Tecno Batteries, Guys sould be very careful where they buy from, ensure U buy from authorised dealers, trying to save 1 or 2k at the risk of getting substandard product is not worth it.My battery is great, far better than the stupid bold 4 I was using b4. Guys should follow the battery tips that people have pasted here, dont use avast antivirus, reduce display brightness, remove vibration, off bluetooth and gps.ONLY PUT THEM ON WEN NEEDED.Only chek your phone wen U have notification and wen U need to Use it.(Some people will never allow the Phone go on standby screen and this is bad habit.)I hardly use my POWER BANK since I uninstalled Avas. In all I love this Phone, its my mobile office, Those people criticising Tecno F7 are ingrates.

Lord_Reed:

What do you mean by the battery is soft? Do you mean soft like boiled yam or what?

Lord_Reed:

Yeah the phone came with the flip case. I got it from Devices and Gadget at Banex Plaza. If you are familiar with the area you know the Banex with the Diamond Bank? Just walk towards the the other entrance gate (not the one near the bank)you'll see the shop, it has the Gionee brand on the outside.

BizBloke:

Thanks for the mention, LexRichy. I'm glad you're enjoying the phone.
