Hello Nairaland
The country has witnessed a whole lot of events in the first quarter of 2021. Some were fun and interesting while others might have left us unmoved.

One of those events that that rocked Nigeria this year is the Headies Awards 2020 which was the 14th edition of The Headies, a Nigerian music awards show held to recognize outstanding achievements in the Nigerian music industry sponsored by Fearless Energy Drink. The ceremony took place in February 21, 2021 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic instead of December 2020, the usual month for the awards.

Another event that really thrilled a lot of people this year is the Afrobeat Backstory. A documentary that tells the origin story of Afrobeat music in Africa. The event was held in Lagos.

So reminiscing about this past events which event can you say was your favourite and tell us the reason?

TECNO Mobile has regained it top spot as Africa's Top Smartphone Brand of the year 2020 after displacing Samsung Mobile, riding on a successful launch of models in the affordable segment and continued market spending, according to Counterpoint Research’s Market Monitor service.

The Transsion brand achieved this feat against the backdrop of a 6.7% YoY fall in Africa’s smartphone shipments in 2020. Much of the damage was done in the first half of the year due to retail and supply chain disruptions caused by COVID-19, which were partially offset by a swift recovery in the second half due to pent-up demand.

Speaking on the market dynamics, Senior Analyst Yang Wang said, “Looking at the entire year, the African smartphone market outperformed other regions but was not immune to disruptions caused by the pandemic. Q2 2020 was especially difficult as demand was hammered when most countries entered lockdowns. Smartphone shipments during the quarter saw a YoY drop of 27%.”

Wang added, “Restrictions started easing in July. Demand followed suit, riding on a surge in promotional activities, even as COVID-19 cases ticked upwards heading into the Christmas shopping season. Q4 2020 actually eked out a 1.5% gain in YoY terms, the best quarter on record.”

Speaking about smartphone prices in the African market, Wang said, “The ASP decreased 15% between 2018 and 2020, and today over 80% of Africa’s smartphone shipments come from the below- $200 band. We can expect further replacement of feature phones by entry-level smartphones, leading to the ASP likely remaining under pressure in the next few years.”

2020 also saw sales of the first 5G capable smartphones in Africa. 5G is unlikely to be a main factor in the African market in the next few years though, as the deployment of 5G commercial networks is still in its infancy in the continent. Still, there is room for 5G smartphones in Africa, especially if prices can drop below $200, as Counterpoint expects to happen in the near future.

TECNO really shocked me with the price.

I worked on my TECNO POVA.

Looking forward to the next episode.

Punch hole.

Because Nigeria is not their market.
TECNO available everywhere.

Why not just go for the Camon 16 Premier.

[quote author=Sainthia post=99994007]Camon 16 pro has the specs you need[/quote
Yes
Complete specs.

TECNO for me.

skywalker240:
Transsion phones are useless all of them.

Mention your favourite brand that's the question.

MuyiBinary:
Samsung screen cost a hand and foot to replace.
I don't want.

That's the advantage of the Camon 16 Premier.
Again the parts are easily accessible.

MuyiBinary:
pls i need user experience of this Tecno phone before i buy it

Tecno CAMON 16 PREMIER(CE9)-6.9" FHD DUAL DOT-IN DISPLAY-128GB ROM/8GB RAM-48MP/64MP CAMERA-4500MAH-4G LTE

One of the best device last year..

saratackit:
since last year They are yet to release another device

That TECNO CAMON 16 PREMIUM device is surely a great phone and worth buying then, the best trending device now

But they've been releasing monthly security patch.

RRodwave:
Did tecno cammon 15 received any android update?

Yes..

I just look for a brand I like.
TECNO then go for it.

skywalker240:
Cheats you say? No wonder Tecno and Infinix cant do without them. Cheaters and theives, what a combination

Sunshinev come and look at Tinubu and Ganduje.

TECNO is not on the list.

MediaTek is taking over.
Love to see it.

TECNO will come through with good price.

Jacobx007:
I have the same issue on my redmi note 5, I think it's a digitizer(soft touch) issue. Am considering changing the screen

Just go and get another phone.
It'll happen again.

KingAzubuike:
Relax and stop glorifying your beloved xiaomi. @ Jacobx007 have answered the question above. It's a software issue and common with xiaomi phones.

Most of them just glorify their piece of plastic.

Meister:
Which xiaomi phones is it common with abeg ?

Most of their devices are like that.
My Note 8 Pro was like that before I switched to TECNO POVA.

SILENTandSMART2:
It's normal , it's just dat this is the first advanced phone you will ever use


It happened to me before when I firstly change from transition , I was like the scrolling is very fast even if i swipe gently , transition nah bastard

You can reduce it in the settings , I'm sure you will get use to it along the line

There's nothing normal about that.

Olobofife:
amateurs, always exaggerating small matterz.

Xiaomi fan boys are bullies.
What is this??
You don't have a proper service centre and you're still calling someone amateurs for complaining about a phone he brought with his money. If you guys continue like this Xiaomi won't make top 5 phone in Africa.

The Camon 16 Pro is my all-time favourite.

My TECNO Camon 11 is over a year.
