Op LG G4 isn't the best Camera phone in 2015. It's earsier for LG to quickly send the update for G4 cos they worked closely with Google to produce the 5X which has almost same internals.

G4 isn't the first Android smartphone to taste MM cos 6P and 5x debuted with it. Some nexii users are already receiving OTA for MM.

For those wondering why it's Poland, will it has always been Poland first for LG. Guess, they have a strong Base there and got good devs in the land.

Show me any smartphone with full manual camera mode. Over 30 settings and 150 manual options. Please take a seat.

hypocrites . where were u when gej was around and apc were politicking with bh. na today u come wake uo dey find collective effort. this is just the bginning. buhari is reaping the evil that he sowed i just pity the "soft" targets

I am too civilised to engage you in name calling....

How will any sane person think the president will resign after fighting for over a decade to get into A so Rock.

We wish him and his military success in the battle. I only hope we can stop politicising terrorism. It requires a collective effort, devoid of tribe, political affiliation and religion.

For guys who don't know about LG.. I think they have been doing pretty well since 2015. They have at least been innovative and gave us the first full manual camera smartphone with over 150 manual settings. It eventually became the best camera phone of 2015. You can read my review of the LG G4 here.

Outside the Nexus devices which are normally the first to get the latest Android operating system. LG has overtaken every other OEM in the race for Android 6.0 Marshmallow update.

The LG G4 is officially the first non-Nexus device to get the Android 6.0 Marshmallow update. Google says the new OS brings a lot of new features to Android users.

The update has been rolled out to all G4 users exclusively in Poland. I checked my G4 for the Marshmallow update, it wasn't available at this time. The update will start rolling out to other users soon enough, it could take a bit longer for users in Nigeria, considering networking providers will have to push the update to their customers, and this could take different lengths of time.

Wondering how LG was piped Samsung to get the update first? The G4 doesn’t have too much annoying bloatware, this could the only realistic reason why the update is being rolled out faster than others.

Other OEM who are jealous of this feat should learn to stop adding useless software to their devices. It makes the entire process pretty easy.

Users of Samsung can find out if their devices will get the Android 6.0 update here. At this time, it is not clear when OEM targeting Nigeria’s mobile market will get the update. However, we expect the Android 6.0 update to start rolling out for the Infinix Hot 2 before the end of the month.

I think this is the most insensitive thing I have read on Nairaland in 6-weeks..

Lame.

laudate:


Na so first class dey cheap for their side?? LWKMD!! Am sure if those 1st class chaps were ranked in an inter-university exam alongside their counterparts from other university with 2.1 degrees, those 1st class chaps would fail!

It's really pathetic how Nigeria continue to derail

11 1st class from 202 graduates... So much for their standard indeed..

These images looks unbelievable as well..

It's subjective but am yet to see an equivalent Xperia Z phone which is better than a galaxy phone

Samsung knows how to market anything like the end of the world.

They tried the same thing with the Galaxy S5 but it was an embarrassing flop.

If you pitch the Xperia Z5 against the Galaxy S6..

Three quick things the Xperia Z5 does that the S6 doesn't do..

1. 4k display (premium version)
2. Water resistance & Dust proof
3. MicroSD slot.


There is no need talking about the camera.. Because the Xperia Z5 23MP camera sensor is no match for the Galaxy S6 16MP shooter.

Where does Sony fail? Generic marketing..

sats:
lame phones dont get online reviews, reviewers are too busy with the happening phones, pls buy and review your lame phone yourself, we will appreciate it

InnJoo still has a long way to go..

They have a strategy but something is missing.

U just dey write rubbish up and down.. It's your own version of HTC ONE M9 that has a finger print right? Tecno openly said that MM is coming mid next year when another version of Android would have been announced and nobody wld care about MM anymore. The phone is simply overpriced and it doesn't worth that amount

I have edited my quoted comment to reflect HTC One Max, that was a never-again-to-be-duplicated error.

However, you don't have to be rude to buttress your point. The iPhone 5 cost $200 to produce, guess how much Apple sold it...


All iPhones are grossly overpriced, but they still sell like hot cakes. I think Tecno has been in Nigeria well enough to know what price spot they can pick for a successful business.

If you want it to sell at 20k simply because it's a Tecno phone, then you are not being fair.

I have no sympathy for any mobile vendor. I think the issue of price is old and dead on arrival.

They are plenty of options, if you have a bias against the Phantom 5. The Camon C8 and J7 is your answer.

Enjoy the rest of the day.

heatmeup:
my point is why compare with the iPhone knowing fully well it Can't compete camera wise

The iPhone doesn't have the best Camera... If we were to use the iPhone alone, We would still be rocking Symbian phones in 2015.

The best Camera phone for 2015 has been unanimously given to the LG G4.

The point is this, there is no perfect device.. for reasons I don't know..

I have not seen any iPhone with IP67 or IP68 certification despite being overpriced..

Sales comes down to marketing.. Xperia Z phones are better than Galaxy phones, but Samsung keeps pouncing Sony in the face.

It's more like it.. with Tecno..

The phone would be available in late November, we can confirm.


Infinite surely knows how to play to emotions of smartphone users in Nigeria. If the rumored specs suggesting 5300 mAh battery is anything to go by, than I have to say it's massive, and perfect for the poor state of power in Africa.

I was really mad today despite all the hype about camnon c8 or wetin be the name sef? The useless phone was compared to the iPhone 6,for crying out loud iPhone 6.I got to lay my hands on it finally,decided to take a snap shot at night with the toy as it is the unique selling point of the phone,the picture quality at night is not even better than Samsung grand 1 which is a Samsung faced out phone and i can say it is far far far far better than the rubbish called c8.imagine them now comparing it with iPhone 6?abeg tecno should pls grow up, or probably go for a recess and come back strong to the market right now they are not getting it right.
note;The phantom 5 don full engineer table for market with flashing due to finger print not recognizing.if you won buy abeg no use finger print ooooo

Though we didn't get this issue on our test lab, I believe you understand what mechanical error stands for.

Even the prestigious iPhone 6 Plus had its own share with the #bendgate issue. HTC One Max also had fingerprint issues.

However, that's not to say Tecno should have an excuse with this issue you have raised.

They should be working on an update to fix it, if android 6.0 update is rolled out for the device, it could also boost the efficiency of the technology which they are using for the first time.

After the huge success of Infinix Hot, the fastest selling device launched last year, the 3-year old OEM Infinix Mobility has continued to expand its brand in Nigeria and globally all around Africa.

Controlling The Market With 2 Powerful Series
Infinix product range is not as large as its competitors; two series are covering the market currently: Zero and Hot series. Infinix Hot devices are more or less entry level smartphones. Under the Hot series, Infinix NOTE product are more likely mid-range devices focused on entrepreneurs who need smartphones as working tool. While the ZERO series offer higher end devices targeting the middle class in Nigeria’s mobile market.

Nevertheless, the manufacturer manages to reach its target audience. The smaller product range allows Infninx to focus its attention on research and development of each product.

Infinix Mobility Raking Sales, 157,860 Units Of HOT 2 Sold

The smartphone manufacturer has sold over 150,000 units of its latest device. 70% of sales are driven by E-commerce by passing the need for costly physical distribution networks. While 30% are achieved through traditional channel including operator’s retail stores.

The Hot series offers affordable device below USD100. Infinix HOT series smartphones are designed for youths with a restricted budget.

Recently, Infinix mobility developed its own User Interface (XUI): better design, faster screen responsiveness and energy efficiency. When you takea look at the smartphone market, all manufacturers provide the pretty same user interface, that’s where Infinix Mobility stands out of the crowd, delivering customized interface that suits consumer needs.

The Company’s Approach To E-commerce Has Really Set It Apart
Infinix devices come with pre-installed e-commerce applications such as Jumia.com and Konga.com. Mobile applications are popular ways to experiment online shopping. One of the most important factors is that mobile applications consume 3 to 5 times less data than directly browsing. Moreover, access to content is easier and it appears that users spend in average 9 minutes against 6 minutes from mobile version or PC.

Bruno Li Infinix Mobility country manager stated: “Youths are always connected looking for the latest trends. Using the right channel is the key of success, the demand is online.”

Infinix Mobility provides smartphones that come with high specifications at affordable prices. Smartphones are available on traditional retail stores and also on e-commerce platform. Online channel offer up to 10% difference with traditional channel. Products are also supported by service centers across Nigeria. Retail stores such as SLOT and YUDALA are also investing the online space.

Online, Infinix smartphones are often sold out few hours after the official product launch. This scarcity brings on a lot of excitement on social media.

An Active And Efficient Use Of Social And Online Media
Infinix Mobility has a great understanding of how fans use their smartphones. Social media is extremely important to consumers. Recently, Benjamin Jiang the CEO of Infinix Mobility opened up his page to the public . In only few weeks, his profile gathers over 3000 fans.

Benjamin Jiang said:”We talk to our fans as they are our close friends. Infinix fans are much more than users, they are our main concern. The most important thing for us is to understand what consumers need, to provide smartphones that fit their needs”.

The success of the leading online smartphone brand in Africa is built around online end-users feedbacks. The loyalty of fans is cultivated through a BBS forum owned by the company. Users are welcome to share their suggestions about products through a loyalty program. Sometimes suggestions can be transferred to market facing product improvements. Infinix Mobility is not buying the loyalty of its fan base but definitely earning it.

“How Infinix become the leading Online smartphone brand in Africa?” Bruno Li country Manager said: “My answer is customer’s participation. Infinix is not only selling devices, but the desire for its fans to build and be part of High-tech improvement”
