Tecno has launched the Pop 3 Plus. It is the latest addition to the Pop series lineup from Tecno. The smartphone is an entry level device which is developed to target the entry level market. Following the recent Pop series from Tecno, they do use low specificications such as 5.0inch display, 3G only and a 3000mAh battery. But with this Pop 3 Plus, everything has changed, you now get a whopping 6.52inches HD+ display, just like the Tecno Spark 4 Lite.

You also get a 4G LTE for faster internet connection and a 4000mAh battery to make sure your connection isn’t interrupted. As a 2019 smartphone, the device uses a waterdrop notch cutout which houses the front selfie camera. There is also a single rear camera for photography and a fingerprint print scanner for security. It comes in two colours which are Blue and Black.

Going to the specs, on the front, it has a 6.52-inch waterdrop notch display. It’s an HD+ display which means it has a resolution of 720 by 1600 pixels. The device has a PPI of 272 and 19:5:9 aspect ratio. It’s an IPS LCD panel screen with 79.3% screen to body ratio. Under the hood, it is powered by MediaTek Helio A22 Chip which has a quad core processor clocked at 2.0GHz, it runs on Android 9 pie with HIOS 5.5 out of the box and a PowerVR GE8320 GPU for graphics or gaming. The processor is also paired with a 1gb of RAM and 16gb of internal storage.

In terms of camera, this device spot a single rear camera which is an 8mp camera with f/2.0 aperture accompanied by a led flash. On the front, it has again the same 8mp selfie shooter with f/2.0 aperture, both the front and back camera records video in 720p at 30fps. What is keeping the light on is a 4,000mAh Li-Po battery which doesn’t support fast charging. The smartphone is currently not in Nigeria but surely, it will soon and it will be priced at N32,000 Naira which translates to $89.

I think Tecno is the only brand doing such magnitude of giveaway. no other brand.

This guy still dey pull crowd sha.

Most searched phones be like audio money, while most sold phones be like the real physical money.

I understand that Teni has a history with the Nigerian army, I do not think it was disrespectful to have performed with their uniform.

The show was lit. See starts everywhere

Wow, the packaging of the show was on another level.

I think Teni has a thing with the military

thatkindthing:
Isn't it illegal to use military uniforms like this?

Its easy to be born again, just give your life to Christ and you are born again

ijewejones:

I'm still thinking of a way to be born again so I won't be thinking of bills to settle especially this Christmas & new year wahala..


If you have any idea to the bolded so far it will be in America,please dp me...that said


Thanks to Tecno for organizing ENJOYMENT & FUN FOR THE CHILDREN

This gesture will have a lasting impact in the lives of those kids.

They are basically the same, but I think Camon 12pro slightly has an edge

Tecno camon 12 pro is a great choice.

You called it trash and implied that it didnt serve you well. And I am sharing my own experience of the phone with you, that I used it and it served me well. thats all

drjprince:
how does your using tecno phone supposed to concern me


You don see person wey never use tecno before

Tecno phones are more pocket friendly and they also perform well.

Another avenue to make smart phone get into the hands of more people at more affordable prices.

my roommate uses same phone and seem to be working well for her.

I think the camon series are Tecno's camera centric phone, just like the pouvoir series are the battery centric phones.

innobarca:
Yes.

it's one of the strongest tecno phones then...The Camera is still sharper than some modern phones today.

I am using a Tecno phone, infact, I have been using it since 2017 and performs great.

drjprince:
so if you have that amount of money you will use it to buy this trash

I would go for Pouvoir 3, its better for me, especially with the long battery life

In Q3 2019, the smartphone market in Middle East & Africa (MEA) recorded a decent 2 percent year-on-year growth, whereas the feature phone segment stayed unchanged, says Counterpoint Research’s Tarun Pathak in the company’s latest Market Pulse report.

In the period under review, the handset market grew 1% YoY (year-on-year) overall. Growth is slowing in key countries in this region and has remained modest partly since markets, such as Nigeria, South Africa, and Egypt — accounting for 25 percent of the overall sales in the region — are still recovering from economic & regulatory problems.

Talking about the smartphone market growth, the Middle East and Africa markets are at different stages of development and face a variety of economic, political and regulatory challenges.

The region is largely under-penetrated (~40%) even though it is the third-largest region in terms of absolute internet users (>500 Mn). Hence, the next level of growth in the region will be driven by first-time internet users.

Research Analyst at Counterpoint Research, Varun Mishra, weighed in on this issue centered on OEM landscape:

“Transsion Group’s brands’ (iTel and Tecno) feature phone share reached its highest ever in MEA during the quarter. Feature phones remain relevant to the mass market in Africa.

“Entry-level smartphones are unable to provide a good experience due to the limitations of the device specifications, especially in the <$40 segment. Additionally, the high data and device cost along with other challenges, like digital illiteracy, is holding back users from migrating faster to smartphones.

“In terms of smartphones, brands like Samsung and TECNO are looking to expand their operations in the region through relevant partnerships.”

“For Example, TECNO opened its first-ever flagship store in Nigeria recently” as well as launching different models of smartphones in Nigeria.

The Spark and the Camon Series are the best-selling among these lines of smartphones due to the fact that they come with high-end camera features at an affordable price.

Such mobile devices owing primarily to their affordability has helped increase the distribution of quality smartphones to more customers in Nigeria, Africa’s largest smartphone market and most populous nation.

DASH ME PLEASE

Quite impressive. I will recommend this phone to anyone looking to buy a phone within its grade.

Nowadays, as the sales of smartphones are constantly on the rise, it often seems like the problems and errors that plague them are multiplying alongside them. Luckily, many of the most common issues can be solved without having to take your phone to a specialized technician.

Here are 6 of the most common smartphone issues and exactly how you can fix them:

1. Your Smartphone's Running Far Too Slowly
Having a slow phone is usually the result of having too many files saved on your phone, installing lots of apps that you don't really need, or leaving apps running when you aren't using them. Very often, it's a combination of all three. The most simple solution is to turn off or delete anything which isn't really essential. In addition, diagnostic tools like 'Z-Device Test' and 'Phone Doctor' can help you pinpoint and potentially repair the problem. As a last resort, you could also give your phone a factory reset, which will wipe out all of your data, making your phone as good as new.

2. You've Got Bluetooth Issues
A large proportion of Bluetooth issues are caused by either interference or pairing errors. These are generally caused by interference from external sources like wireless devices, microwaves, satellite signals and radio waves, or by an excess of cached data in your device's Bluetooth storage unit. To fix this problem, the first thing you should try is switching your Bluetooth off and on again. If that doesn't work, try deleting your Bluetooth cache, which can be accessed from your smartphone's app settings. If you're still having trouble, you may need to locate the source of interference, so that you can deactivate it or take your phone away from it. If all else fails, make sure that your device's 'discoverable mode' is switched on, since without it your phone will be permanently hidden from nearby Bluetooth signals.

3. You've Cracked Your Screen
Unfortunately, there's not much that you can do to fix a cracked phone screen, but you can still take preventative measures to make sure that such a tragedy never befalls you again. We recommend investing in a screen protector and a sturdy phone case, which can both significantly reduce your risk of ever seriously damaging your phone again. Even though they may be a little bit expensive, such an investment is still far cheaper than having to purchase a new phone entirely.

4. Your Phone's Battery Is Draining Too Quickly or Charging Too Slowly
Battery issues are another scourge of the smartphone era, and the worst of them include having a short battery life, ‘system-hogging’ apps, and slow charging. If your phone is being afflicted by one or more of these issues, you can start by closing (or deleting) any unnecessary apps that you find running on your phone. You should also ensure that the charger and charging cables that you're using are 100% compatible with your phone, otherwise your phone's charging time may gravely suffer. Other options that you can try include reducing the frequency of your apps' updates, shortening your screen timeout, and lowering your screen's brightness.

5. Your Phone or Apps Keep Crashing
These highly frustrating problems could be caused by having too many apps running simultaneously, not having enough memory, or by having bugs in your apps. If your apps keep crashing, you should try clearing the app data from 'App Manager' or 'App Info' (the name will vary a bit depending on what smartphone you're using). Like with many of the fixes above, you should also make sure that you close all apps you don't currently need, as well as clearing your cache. Phone crashes, on the other hand, are a little more serious. One thing that you can try is removing your phone's case and external battery and allowing it to rest for a while, before putting it all back together. You could also try downloading a troubleshooting app, which may help you pinpoint the source of your woes. As a last resort, you could also give your phone a factory reset, but make sure you backup all of your important files beforehand.

6. Your SD Card Isn't Working
While there are dozens of kinds of microSD cards available on the market, they don't all universally fit every smartphone. If you find that you've purchased the wrong kind of card, there's not much that you can do except politely ask to exchange it or for a refund. Before buying a microSD card, you'll need to find out which major format your phone is compatible with, either SDHC or SDXC. Once you've got that figured out, you also need to check which of the 3 major speed classes your phone supports, either Class 10, UHS-1 Class 1, or UHS-1 Class 3. Only then can you make an informed decision about which microSD card is best suited for your phone. Of course, if in doubt, just take your phone along with you to the store, and ask the staff to fit it in for you there and then, so that you can see it working before spending any more money.
