Pouvoir 2 :- MTK MT6769 chip (bad processor)
Pouvoir 3 :- Under clocked and under utilized Helio P22 chipset (worse processor)
Pouvoir 4:- Helio A22 (worst processor)

the chip of the phone decreases in performance and yet the price increases as if the phones themselves are upgrading with the price.

can you see the folly of tecno/infinix/itel?

stay the fvck away from them

Bestchild:
don't be ahead of transsion. Calm down let them launch it first

nobody doubts what I said up there
its true

hahahahahaha..... see wetib happen now?

carlcare "premium" services which our dear tecno marketers advertise here is a sham and a scam

CARLCARE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS
1. YOU KEEP COMING BACK
2. THEY KEEP EXTORTING HUGE AMOUNT OF CASH FROM YOU
3. THEY COLLECT THE PHONE AND MAKE YOU BUY NEW PHONE (ALL INVOLVES THEM COLLECTING MONEY FROM YOU).
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS AT ALL. I'LL HIGHLIGHT WHAT THEY USUALLY DO

edunwosu:
Moreso, she suggested that since that i am in VI and their office is at Ikeja maybe i should used a pickup delivery service to come pick it up which i agreed on, the delivery services was sent to me and i called and they billed me N1000plus fees and i agreed and came picked up and sent to Carlcare services in ikeja as agreed.
This is where the story change from Carlcare people, this number i believed must be from the repair department 08169052904, the guy said he has seen my phone and that my touch pad and one other are bad and need to be change too and that will cost me N14,600 i expressly rejected it telling to please leave that as far as i am aware the phone only is the mic.

Lol. see another encounter with carlcare

fratermathy:
I have read some negative experiences with CarlCare online that I wonder why the company has refused to change its ways. Many of the negative experiences are with their Opebi branch in Lagos. Below is my own experience with CarlCare, Uyo Service Center, No 18 Ikot Ekpene Road, Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. This post is not intended to ridicule the company or discourage genuine warranty holders from using CarlCare. I am sharing this because other people need to know what to expect with CarlCare and for the company to get its acts right. The experience below happened this month (August 2017).


At first, my device (Tecno PhonePad II) touch screen stopped responding on its own just a few months after I bought it from Konga (it was still under warranty). I took it to CarlCare, Uyo Center, and I expected that it would be fixed free of charge based on my warranty. On getting there, a plump, saucy and impatient lady called Grace examined the device and said I have to pay 15k for repairs because she could see some specks of sand between the screen guard and the LCD (which wasn't cracked in any way). The sand must have been stuck there when my screen guard was fixed. I even told them to remove the screen guard so that the sand would leave but they refused.

I was filled with utter dismay. I tried to stand my ground but the lady insisted that what happened was physical damage (even though I know NOTHING damaged the device physically). So I had no other choice than to pay the 15k (I couldn't take it elsewhere in Uyo because there are no other genuine Tecno repairers around that I know of, apart from the untrusted and untested road-side technicians). I had to get the money and pay.

After paying the 15k, I was told to come back for the phone in a week. I returned to pick the phone and truly the screen seemed changed. Fast forward a few weeks after the said change, my phone suddenly stopped charging. I tried several chargers and it didn't work. The chargers all worked in different phones but not mine. I knew the problem was from CarlCare because they were the only ones that have opened the phone so far.

I took the device back to CarlCare Service Center, Uyo. This time I was welcomed by the anti-customer face of Innocent, one of their male staff. Innocent is not someone anyone should put in front of customers at all. He examined the phone after I told him it stopped charging and that I had repaired it there before. I was billed N400. I paid N1000 and they didn't have complete change so I was owed N400 (I never got the balance). Innocent asked me to return the next day for the phone.

So I returned the next day and was asked to come the day after. I did so and was asked to come by Friday (this happened on Wednesday). I returned there on Friday and was told that my phone has been sent to Port Harcourt for repairs because they couldn't do it (which I suspected as a lie to buy themselves more time). I was yet again asked to return the next week. I was not supposed to remain in Uyo beyond that week but I stayed behind because of the device. I returned on the day they stipulated and this time I met Grace, the plump female worker. She said that my device is taking too long to repair (after Innocent said the week before that it was sent to Port Harcourt) and that they want to swap it with a new device for me. My goodness! I was elated! I never knew she kept a whole lot about the said swap from me.

I brought my receipt as Grace requested and she said that she would apply for the swap. I was asked to return the next day. When I got there on the next appointed day, I was then told the truth about the swap. Grace (the CarlCare worker) said that I have to choose between L9 and L8 Lite and PAY THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE. Firstly, both of these devices were far lower than Tecno PhonePad II both in price and functions. Secondly, my choice was limited to ONLY both devices (even though I wanted other choices). Seeing that I had no other choice, I settled for the L9 which was higher than L8 Lite.

Grace then made it more complicated by saying that I have to pay another N13,000 for the swap difference. My PhonePad II was bought at 40k last year, the price is currently 55k in Slot. L9 is sold at 36k everywhere. So I wondered why I should pay a difference of 13k? She said the money covered both the swap and the failed attempt to repair my previous phone's damaged board. I was disappointed again. It should be noted that I didn't have any other phone to access the internet with at this point and I was basically frustrated with everything.

So I had to pay another 13k to complete the said swap for a LOWER ranking device without even 4G (which my previous phone had). After payment, I was told to wait or to go and return because their server was down. I collected Grace's number so that I could call her to know the updates but she didn't pick up all through except once when she said she would check and never returned the call or picked up again. I even sent a text but had no response.

I had to return to CarlCare office again that day to know the update. Immediately Grace and Innocent (CarlCare workers) saw me, they seemed uncomfortable. I smelt something fishy. I was asked to wait yet again. Probably frustrated by my own frustration and impending anger, Grace went in and brought a Tecno L9 device in the following conditions:

1. No pack or carton
2. No accessories, including charger
3. No receipt for the new device
4. Device looked more refurbished than new
5. She declined to help me setup the phone and insisted I do it on my own (WHY?)
6. My N400 initial change wasn't returned
7. I didn't even get a printout for the transaction

I had no other choice than to accept the phone. I took it knowing that it was the only choice I had (she had said its either this or I pay for a new board amounting to over N20k). I have the new device with me now and I am not happy with its performance so far but I have no other choice, CarlCare made sure of that.

This is an experience I wouldn't want another to have. I have resolved to avoid anything that takes me to CarlCare at all costs and if something should ever take me there, I will take ice and fire along with me and give them a terribly cold hell. I advise everyone to avoid CarlCare, and in fact, if you can, Tecno products entirely (I have another Tecno 8H wasting away in my room because CarlCare couldn't repair it - barely a year after I bought it). I have seen a number of Tecno flagship devices go bad "all of a sudden" without any hope for repairs and even if they can be repaired, it'll be at exorbitant costs. Their swap deals are no better (run away from them if you can).

these are the guys that have the solutions to your problem

why you always use tdm mode in pubg to classify the gaming abilities of a device when CLASSIC MODE is the real deal in the game?

even potatoes play tdm but classic mode is the real deal breaker.

anyways, I can't watch your reviews since they have a biased reputation in this section

when is the part 2 of this movie coming out?

olahero:
TECNO DON DEY TAKE OVER THE SMARTPHONE MARKIT SMALL SMALL, CRACKBERRY AND NOKLA GO GET CRASHD SOON..........!

What killed BlackBerry and Nokia is what is killing Transsion.

Over pricing devices and ignoring your market

Preach
This company must either change or go

.

Lol
Result of a poor chipset for an expensive price

One sad story out of the many sad ones we see tecno customers say on this section everyday

Stay away from tecno, infinix and itel!!

ProfAmaben:
I use an infinix note 5 and I'm happy with it, even as a power user, it works just fine, it's VR ready also. Tecno is not bad as many potray it, where was xiaomi when Tecno entered the Nigerian market to rescue us from HTC, Samsung etc. I fell in love with the Tecno p2 back in 2009, I could use it as a hotspot, browse, record etc for only 12k, no Samsung phone even the cheap duos cost below 35k back then. Tecno believed in us when xiaomi didn't, let them reap the rewards of their hardwork and patience in Nigeria. I rest my case.

Oh, so in your all mighty logical reasoning, their reward is for us to allow them to cheat and swindle us abi?
You have failed to give a good reason

Justice128:
We started a new relationship which i asked her if she is a virgin which she said yes because me i am still a virgin then reason because i want to have sex with a virgin also, so we had an encouter which we had sex and i discovered that she is not a virgin because i have asked so many questions about virgins which our sex result produced negative, and she is claiming that i am the one that disvirgine her, this left me confused we had a little breakup and since then she has been telling me that i took her pride as a lady and dump her plz advice( )

I'm.sure you're not up. to 20
boy, make your mama proud before you start looking for someone's daughter's pride to take

old news
it was a mistake from xiaomi's programming dept.
they didn't program the browser well
Xiaomi has sent patches and fixes to solve this issue in less than 1 week after this issue was reported on twitter by Xiaomi users.
so this is old and outdated news.

Girl, you need to post less

Felixswagg:
Please nairalanders buy Tecno and Infinix phones these are tested and trusted brands. Do not allow anyone bully you to buy a phone you don't know where it's coming from.
My very first Infinix phone was the Infinix zero 3 loved that phone still using an Infinix till today.

So you expect people to rush and buy Transsion devices just because you said you use so and so phone for sometime?
Your reason is too weak

skywalker240:
Am good with any phone as long as it's not Tecno or Infinix

Itel 1408 nko?

Hehehehe
Tecno collected a hefty sum of 97,000 naira from you and yet couldn't give you one small way to change font as you like
Meanwhile, redmi note 5 of common 40k can let you download font and change it to your desire since Xiaomi has strong software support unlike tecno.
You can do this all the way from the redmi note 4 to 9. All day every day
In the next months to come, I bet you'll have more issues with that device. Just you wait and see

ahmemmygrey:
pls someone should go and check the price of infinix zero 6 pro in jumia

and tell me a better alternative with better spec. at that price

The redmi note 7 pro is better and is even cheaper
Infinix zero 6 pro = 107,000 - 115,000 naira
Redmi note 7 pro = 80-95,000 naira

A weak 1.1gHz CPU with an outdated mtk processor.... And you're selling it for 90k?
I refuse to believe that this is your actual price.
Mistakes were made

Who the hell sits down and thinks about things like this?
Like, why?

Disgusting pervert
I wonder why men behave like dogs at times

Mr man go and hustle

This thing for 12k??
Okoto Meow

horlarwereleh:
Wow
Is it that bad
Was planning on doing same tho

Don't do it

Ovie56:
The screen is great, but the pictures coming out of the Camera? wow it's been a while i've seen such an absymal camera performance, on par with the likes of hot3, im not joking, when i saw it and i remember all the hype that came with it, i was like wow see the power of brand 4 cameras and rubbish images

Samsung is a good brand but sometimes they and their fanbase over hype their products

Whizkid sang the song "Expensive shit"
Techno who sells expensive shit signs whizzy and uses him as ambassador
