Kamaye: Tecno sef! i thought it was just 3 months ago that f7 was released into the market, instead of updating the software and fixing the bugs associated with phantom A, they now decided bring on phantom A+ meaning if you want a better one you must get rid of yours and buy the A+. this is unacceptable, tecno should stop using nigerians as tools for their silly expirenment.
Guy its not only us see tecno are following the footsteps of cherrymobile omega and cherrymobile omega 2.0 ) look it up if u wanna

Tecno self grin I've been watchin this tread for a while now . Tecno is a new brand so we all expect mistakes here and there . But hopefully they would improve on their products with time.for starters the battery life of the Tecno phantom F7 is a no no.then the OTA updates. I hope they will correct these anomalies in the subsiquent versions. Nevertheles its a good brand

This is what I said some time ago and Tecno fans descended on me. They claim Tecno is CHEAPER and Samsung is MILKING them dry. In January this year, Tecno released N7. People complained of LOW RAM. Then they came out with PHANTOM A. Once again, some people complained of the battery. Instead of Tecno asking their customers to bring their phones to the service centre to UPDATE them MANUALLY (since they cannot do that via OTA), they chose to release a new phone: PHANTOM A+. Add the price of Phantom A and Phantom A+, is it not more than the price of Samsung mid range phones like Galaxy Grand Duos? Yet Samsung has never ABANDONED their customers the way Tecno does. Grand Duos was also released in January this year, and it has received SOFTWARE UPDATES to fix bugs. And the latest update for Grand Duos is Android 4.2.2. Phantom A+ has come with Android 4.2.1. In three months time, Tecno will release Phantom B running on Android 4.2.2. So who's milking its customers dry? Is Samsung or Tecno?

Pointless article,does samsung not upgrade their products and the OTA issue i think does who want that should not buy Tecno but don't be suprised if they start to get update anytime.

if you have really used S3 as you claim, then you should know that Phantom A+ comes nowhere near S3. Galaxy S3 came out the box running on Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.04) just like Tecno N7. Where's Tecno N7 now? Still stuck with ICS, whilst your S3 has been UPGRADED to Jelly Bean 4.1.2. And 4.2.2 has also been released for S3. A few days ago, there was a RUMOUR that Samsung is SKIPPING 4.2.2 for S3 and rather releasing 4.3 for it. And Samsung promised to UPGRADE S3 to KEY LIME PIE (Android 5.0). This is what I expect you Tecno fans to demand from Tecno: SOFTWARE and OTA UPDATES, instead of Tecno making you buy NEW phones every three (3) months in order to enjoy the latest version of Android. I used to be a Tecno fan, but I ABANDONED them because of this. Because I know Samsung will SUPPORT my phone (OTA) for the next three years without buying a new phone. Just like how they supported S2 for the past two (2) years. Don't forget S2 came out of the box with Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread). But it's currently running on Android 4.1.2. And Samsung promised 4.2.2 will be the LAST UPDATE for S2. I rest my case.

Re: Tecno F7 (Phantom A1) Discussion Thread by mcgboye(m): 3:09pm On Jul 23, 2013
I actually think the best you can do to enjoy your phone, whichever one you finally decide to buy, is to avoid going through any of the threads here (unless of course if you have a complaint or something you need advice on). There will ALWAYS be someone here to say something bad about the phone. Even if you've used it for months and enjoyed it, by the time you come here you start noticing faults you never knew existed with you phone.

I use an iPhone 4s and the only thing I do with it is social media - mostly twitter and some facebook, yet I have never used it for more than 5hrs of consistent use before the battery drains. But I'm sure some people get more than that on their F7, E3, S4 and other phones.

That's my bit.

Explain what you mean by "FAIL", is it bcs tecno doε̲̣̣̣̥sn't have OTA updates that their devices(n7 and f7) failed? Does their devices OS crashes ie booting issues, not receiving calls, not being able τ̅☺ browse anymore or screen just goes blank? For the fact that tecno product havnt started having OTA updates doε̲̣̣̣̥sn't mean the devices have failed. Choose your words properly

Godvilla,
I didn't intend to engage in unnecessary arguments here, especially with you since you obviously know a lot more about phones than I do (no offence meant, I hope none taken), but I was only making a general observation, having gone through this section for some days.

However, permit me, are you saying Android phones are better than iOS devices (battery-wise) and by inference, Tecno range of smartphones have stronger batteries than iPhones. Because if that is the case (you response seems to suggest that), then I wouldn't be too concerned if I was using a Phantom A1.

Also, what are your thoughts about the Phantom tab N9?

Its more dan just OTA updates... Hardware specs and software specs/features makes up a gud Android fone........
I remebr in a post, i said Tecno are flying high cos there is no competition 4rm other Chinese OEMs in Nigeria. I bet Tecno no go see last carry if they venture in2 Indian market cos the competion is high and intense ova there.
Now check out the Gionee E3 giving Tecno a run for their money with up to date hardware specs for just 35k!!!
Wen i see a good phone, i'll commend it(though there might be flaws but the good side over shadows it)
i aint hating on Tecno neither am i a fan of Gionee BUT, so far, so good *Gionee takes it all*

Re: Tecno F7 (Phantom A1) Discussion Thread by lat4real: 4:37pm On Jul 23, 2013
Lol... Gionee users are also attacking tecno users. You people are complaining that tecno release phone every three months, tell me which company isn't doing that? Samsung galaxy s4 has 5 different versions with different chips, core, gpu, lte, and so on... What about Sony? Or HTC? All of them are the same. Samsung in particular launches new phone every month, the only advantage they have is OTA, which I'm very sure tecno will come up with soon. You can't expect them to launch only one phone a year in a market where there is fierce competition. Buy phone that suits your needs, enjoy it. Don't buy phone because people are buying it, look for what you like and go for it.

Last Bullet>>> If you are using zopo, umi, thl, and other China based, and you come here dey badmouth tecno, God go punish you.
