let them come haba "We are not Afraid"

i am afraid

BenKafor:
So you are saying Tecno is selling the Phantom 5 at 70k because they want to give the public the illusion of scarcity

i don't how you thought of that though. What i meant is that there are other phones in excess. So why buy the phone when it's not the only one

BenKafor:
Exactly, I don't know why people think that 70k is such a big deal.

it isn't a big deal but if i am selling one pure water for 200 naira when there is no scarcity, it would be awkward to buy it but 200 naira isn't a big deal . Im just illustrating not saying that phantom 5 is sold at that ratio of 200 naira

ChidinmaRose:
Me I just read that Marshmallow update is coming to Camon C8, is it true?

okoligee:
Nice spec but only 65% of dat spec will b achieved just like dia other products n some downside like heating n so, if the price pass 31k I no buy

31k? God is watching you

I know its that time of the year that folks will be telling Santa what they want for Christmas, and by Santa I mean; whoever it is that gives you money. Personally, I don't have a "Santa" that's why I start saving from the beginning of the year so that I can have enough to buy me a cool present at the end of the year.

So I saved up to 120k and I was looking for different phones within the price range. That's when I came across the new Phantom 5 by Tecno. The price is perfect for me (70k) because it allows me to get other things this Christmas as well. It is a premium phone and the specifications are quite impressive.

3GB RAM with 32GB ROM, Finger print sensor (which I totally like because I like my privacy), Dolby surround sound and so many other pretty amazing features. If you would like to get the full specs, you can click on this ----> http://www.techcityng.com/tecno-phantom-5-review/

I am excited because I will finally have a phone that will be able to multitask without any problems and on top of that, it has an amazing sleek design!!!

in this your thread https://www.nairaland.com/2774488/dairies on December 1st you said your junior brother broke your phantom 5 and now you are saying that you want to get it. Is is that you saved 120k again or what. It makes me think that you are just a promoter. I have no problem in someone promoting a phone whether paid or not but when the person tries to lie.

why are the specs this poor and sold at 16k when they aren't operating monopoly

There is no official offline version

Maximum83:
Any difference between them?

you mean tecno and infinix?

idokojerry:
Am a proud ex- tecno user. They made android available not only to the middle class but also village peeps.

To be frank with you, going premium on tecno's part is the biggest joke of the year in naija smartphone industry

Please tell them to affordable and leave premium for the masters
Before I forget, enough of the noise,kindly do me a favour and show me proof of you flexing your tecno

going premium isn't actually a bad idea. Every smartphone company must surely go premium sometime. But when it comes to the business aspect in the nigerian market, i think the device is a failure in business terms. One thing with tecno is that their name has lost reputation, i would suggest they change just their name and it could perform the trick. See how it's brother, infinix is rampaging the market.

U are the one that's not getting it. If u love ios, then u don't have an alternative than buy an iPhone, that's my point and that's why they can sell 9 million units in 3 days when a company like Sony can not sell 9 million xperia z in 5 months. If u have a big iTunes library u have to buy the iPhone no matter what apple dishes out.

Some people don't care about open source or tweaking , rooting and all that stuff. They just want a premium phone that is easy to use, that is what iPhone offers. And yes I know surface pro 4 is more powerful than the iPad, but i don't need to carry a heavy device like the surface 4 when I can carry a light easier to use iPad. For media consumption iPhone is better. For media creation surface pro 4 is better, but most people that have iPad already have a macbook for media creation, so they don't need a surface pro 4.

alright then i get your point. It's more of a person's choice. If you love android, you have many alternatives but ios u have just one.

greenhulk:
Ummm... Apple has no alternatives. If u want ios u have to buy iPhone. If u want Mac osx u have to buy macbook. There are no alternatives. Or can u show me any other phone that runs on ios other than iPhone? And apple don't release different phones, its one phone a year, until 2 yrs ago when they made it 2 phones a year. That is discipline, determination to continue their tradition of making premium phones.

Apple pay a lot of attention to details that other phone manufacturers overlook. For example the ability to use just 1gb of ram on their phones and still run smoother and faster than many other phones with 3gb of RAM. Or the ability to put 8mp on their phone and still take better pictures than many other phones with 16 or even 20mp cameras. Their phones are not perfect, but u can't deny they are very sexy. If u ask me I'll say their phones are not too expensive, rather they are unique and that's why people that appreciate them buy them and that is why they can sell 9 million units of iPhone 5 on the first 3 days of launch. Isn't that magnificent? I will only agree that their phones are too expensive if I can see any other phone with that kind of design and that runs the same software.

you don't get what i mean by better alternatives. Although ios might be better for you but android is open source and gives you freedom. So i see many android phones as better alternatives. Most people don't go for the best devices, they go for the rarest seen devices. That's why someone might go for an iPad pro when there's a surface pro 4. As i said earlier it's their reputation that is helping them. Because I don't see anything special in apple products except their tv and smart watch. So except I really need a distinct feature from ios, I'll stick with Android.

greenhulk:
One plus didn't come out of nowhere. Yes it was founded in 2013 but by former president of oppo which is a top Chinese phone maker. And they had the support of cyanogen which is a strong android developing community. Moreover, one plus one was sold for $300 for the 16gb version. That is about N60,000, when u include tax and shipping it will be around 70k plus. And the that is because the phone only sold online, no retailers. U can't just walk into a shop and buy the phone.

i didn't mention one plus because of the price but for the fact it came out of nowhere. When i typed "came out of nowhere" i was referring to the fact that a 6month old company releases a phone that made it to the top 10 phones of the year. Ya, they got the support of cyanogen which is known for their reputable roms but that can make a 6month old company release a phone with that acceptance. For example amazon's fire os used in its fire phone was forked from android and it brought a lot of new features but never the less got the type of acceptance one plus got. Taking about price, one plus x was released with a price tag of 250$ and it has great specs. Ya it could cost me some extra money if i want to get it in ng but tecno is already Nigeria's home so why will the price be high like that. Whether it's online, the price is high still 69000 which is just too high. What tecno are failing to understand is the fact that their reputation wouldn't allow them sell at that price. Look at Apple for instance, their products are highly over priced with a lot if better alternatives but people still rush for it and this is because steve jobs before his death did a great job of giving them a great reputation.

Hahahahahahahahahaha ROFL is this how we are finished. 270 and it is strengthened.

Tecno phantom 5 might look expensive, but let's be sincere its a beautiful phone with nice specs. If that phone was made by htc, Sony or Samsung it wouldn't e less than 100k. Yes there are cheaper competition, but if I have a budget of 70k I would rather buy the phantom 5 than the cheaper elephone or umi. The devil u know is better than the angel u don't know.

Tecno has come a long way, they have invested in the country and created jobs. What has umi or elephone done for Nigeria? Can u just walk into any phone shop and buy umi or elephone p8000? U will most likely have to order online. And if the screen gets broken where will u take it to? Do they have call centre readily available in Nigeria? If the phone develops any fault within the warranty period it will be hell getting it taken care of by warranty. That's the reason I'd buy the tecno instead of some phones I don't know where they came from. At least tecno is a household name in Nigeria right now. They have paid their dues, they advertise and lay tax here, so u don't expect them to sell the premium phone the same price some imported Chinese phones would sell theirs. I still think tecno should make a price slash though, maybe sell the phone for 50-60k that would be perfect.

And before u sleigh me, I don't use tecno or any Chinese/mediatek phones. Still rocking my s6 and LG g3, just gave out my HTC one m7.

you are saying the same thing i am saying. The device is nice but the price is high. Also although the phones i mentioned are new to the market, that doesn't mean that they aren't good. Just like one plus that came out of nowhere

obidevine:
they don't have it

mi4 and red mi2 are are there except they are out of stock

This is the funniest thread I've ever seen

wow congrats

Nice specs but funny name

idokojerry:
Tecno agents hype from now till Jesus comes
Phantom 5 no go sale pass 100pieces.
I hope y'all ain't doing it for free

lmao

This technology can't stop malpractice a bit.. It's only for attendance...as far as the invigilator isn't honest. Nothing works.

jaysay:
You have a point there.

I have the phone as well. Let me know what you will like to know and I can share with you a customer, regular user review. I am not a pro though.

A few things I have observed using the Phone so far:

>> Camera is not the strength of the phone. Pictures it shoots are just fair, not good enough
>> Phone calls are crystal clear, I do not have to press the phone to my ear to hear what I am saying.
>> I do not engage in panic charging though I have two SIM on the phone and use mobile Internet.
>> Phone doesn't hang on me yet and handles everything I throw at it perfectly--emails, text, Instagram, Twitter etc. But,
>> The screen isn't great with my sweaty palms. I have to wipe my hands clean before typing on it. Coming from Samsung GALAXY A5 that has a better screen that allows my sweaty palms to type with easr.

at least someone is telling us the truth

Ana5000:
Really? What other brands have such specs?

you could go for umi iron pro or elephone p8000

Sister, I would advise you rethink before buying it, it's a good phone but it has a high price tag compared to it's specs. There are many more alternatives.

Google's CEO, Sundar pichai recently said that android 7 (android n) might be named using an online poll which will add more fun. Meanwhile android 7 isn't coming anytime soon, probably end of next year. As we all know since android 1.5 cupcake, Google has always named their OS after confectionaries. So if indeed there is a poll which name will you suggest?

therealesttin:
Not talking to anyone in particular but when people begin to hate, it either means you are doing great or you are doing very bad. If Infinix phones are as bad as some people describe it, how come it arouses enough interest in you to enter the thread, read through and comment?

How come they are among the highest selling brand in Africa now?

How come even GSM arena features them and reports their product launch?

How come more and more sophisticated people who never gave China phones a chance are now using this same Infinix product?

If Barcelona can perform so well in football and still have so many haters maybe Infinix dont need to worry because even the best man in the whole World Jesus Christ who satisfied everybody was killed by enemies.

Infinix mobile keep up the good work and keep the flag flying.

it's true despite the fact they dont have much features like other phones, they have carefully selected the ones that we need and give it to us instead of putting the specs that we won't use and a high price
