Idahosa proved that your church doesn't have to be in Lagos before you make an impact.

There was sanity in Nigeria churches when he was still alive. Nobody has been able to fill his shoes, even after many years.

Why is Android So Popular in Nigeria?

In the space of less than 5 years, the popularity of Android phones in Nigeria skyrocketed thanks to the efforts of Tecno. The campaign to turn Nigeria from a feature phone country was mainly spearheaded by Tecno with the M3 and P3 devices. Tecno made it easy to buy Android phones unlike the times when Samsung was the major distributor of Android in the Nigerian market. Then, Android was regarded as a luxury item to be used by only wealthy people.

Then came Tecno and their M3 and P3 devices. The so called luxury items could now be bought by every Tom, Dick, Harry with a few thousand Nairas to spend. Android was suddenly now available to the poor man. They no longer cost an arm and a leg to acquire.

The reason though that Android grew so much in such a short space of time was the innovative “touchscreen”. Before then, Nigerians were only used to standard feature phones such as the Nokia C3 which sported T9 buttons and a non-touch screen running the extremely outdated Java ME OS. While the rest of the world was enjoying the benefits of Android and iOS, Nigerians were stuck on Java ME unless they had excess money to splash on Samsung phones.

The advent of Tecno in Nigeria was the event that changed all that. Nigerians were being offered Android with (although low end) usable hardware for an incredibly cheap price. These new Tecno phones didn’t sport the latest SnapDragon processors or the crispiest HD screens but were nonetheless readily accepted by Nigerians. Slowly but steadily, Tecno increased their portfolio of devices to appeal to other demographics such as the gaming fanatics by producing stronger devices with beefed up specs. These devices such as the Tecno R7 were proof that you didn’t need to pay upwards of 60k NGN to get an affordable and powerful device.

With an aggressive marketing strategy, Tecno, claimed a soft spot in the heart of Nigerians who wanted something more than Java phones, but didn’t have the required funds. Lately though, it seems Tecno is slowly being dethroned by the emergence of Infinix and Innjoo. Capitalizing on Tecno’s struggle to bring Android to Nigeria, Infinix and Innjoo have cashed in on the existing Android Base cultivated by Tecno. Infinix devices have been the highest selling devices on Jumia Nigeria for the past 2 years. That speaks much for how much Android has grown in the Nigerian market. And to think that 5 years ago, Android was a luxury.

No deceit..

hadaydhollarpo:

Sorry, I meant their poor marketing. Their phones are powerful and efficient.

ibietela2:
You are alive? So what happened to your Facebook

Just took some time off bruh

Xiaomi is finally in Africa. Mobile In Africa, MIA, won the rights to distribute the phone, the company selected Jumia Nigeria as its exclusive platform to sell Xiaomi phones to users in Nigeria.

Xiaomi’s story is one that both fascinates and eludes every tech pundit; it started very little and grew to become a $45 billion company within five years.

Xiaomi started off as a brand that continually pushed high-quality phones at a very cheap price. At one time, the company’s business strategy was questioned; some analysts even suggested it would fold up in a matter of months because the business model was simply lacking clarity. Later on, it became clear that Xiaomi actually does get low profit from hardware sales, but the weak hardware division is complimented by software sales which keep the company in profitability.

The mobile manufacturer defiled all hurdles, raised its standard and “wowed” the Chinese mobile community. While others mocked the phone for being a cheap copy of the iPhone, Xiaomi silently won the hearts of mobile users all over the world.

Last week, it was reported that the Xiaomi MI 4 passed the United States FCC, few days after the Redmi 2 Pro also passed the FCC. Xiaomi now wants to leave its comfort zone in China and expand its tentacles all over the world.

First Impression

Xiaomi Mi 4 is a decent smartphone with metal frame and a great price.

Xiaomi does impress with the Mi 4, although a full metal unibody design would have been just perfect, however it still does offers love at first sight.

The design is just like the iPhone, I certainly love where Xiaomi placed the speaker. Just at the bottom of the phone, close the where you have the microUSB port.

The size? Fantastic for handling, multimedia and gaming! The capacitive keys are found below the screen, with an active LED light when the phone is charging.

3GB RAM, 2.5 GHz Snapdragon processor, 13MP primary camera, and Adreno 330 GUP. All of these mouth watering specifications goes for only N56,000. We are not sure how other OEM's targeting Nigeria will survive, but competition is great and helps to keeps the industry in check.

kinky213:
I doubt bro

Let's see how it plays bruh

This is going to be a long week of Legal tussle..

kinky213:
It ain't gonna part of black Friday sales since it will be launched that day according to the info I got so expect price to normal

There would most likely be a little discount, even if it's 5-10%..

Segadem:
op, you think everybody is Mike Adenuga? my smartphone is not old as long as it serves me, why do I need to buy new smartphone when the one I have still serves me better?

You certainly will need a newer smartphone buddy, speed and efficiency.. If you know what I mean

Not a bad list.. IMO

LG giving Samsung headache for two years in a row now...

Like I have always said, Gionee is suffering from its cruel attitude towards marketing.

I sent a report to them, highlighting what they need to do.. They turned it down..

I love the mobile strategy of Tecno in 2015..

ishittu:
Okay will get back to you on that

Great job pal

lekjons:
I don't trust you on this!

lol
