I bought this phone today at computer village and this are my observations:

1, it is bulky because of the battery
2, it is very fast Internet wise
3, the flashlight is better than p3
4, you can only set one ringtone for the two sims
5, it comes with 4 GB ROM: 1 gb for applications, 2 gb for data storage and 1 gb for the stock rom
6, the display is not as good as p3
7,the earpiece looks inferior
8, I played asphalt 6 which comes preinstalled,it was very fast no lag at all.
9, the ram is 512 with 400+ available for user.
10, it has video call from dialer interface.

9jadelta: Personal Review L3

like i said, i got this phone from mtn yesterday on my way home. 13,5k with 12+ warranty

These are the accessories I found in the box;

one battery
one Usb and charger
one Case protector
one Ear piece
one 8gb External SSD card


Opening The Box

first thing that i noticed about the phone is, it's a bit heavier than regular cheap tecno android phone.
secondly, the design is okay (not exceptional though). it has deep grey and black color
thirdly, the battery is very big, though i don't expect a 2400mah battery to be small grin



Switching the phone on;


after i on the phone, the first thing i noticed is the screen. The screen is not so good, though its not all bad but if i should rate it on percentage, i will give it 35-40% over 100. well its not so bad for a phone that cheap if you ask me.

secondly, i dont think the phone has 4gb rom as claimed on the specification or may be its the one i bought anyway. (so i cat truely specify) i only saw 1.8gb of rom. well, i don't think that should be a problem because there is extra 8gb SSD card in the container. but the ram is most definitely 512mb



Usage
Although, am still using the phone to get some facts out. this are the little things have noticed so far.

Smoothness: the phone runs very smoothly. well lets say, just like the p3, n3, etc in its class


Browsing: The browsing is very fast especially when your phone is on Wcmda only. the download speed is totally awesome. i got 1.5mbps/sec on mtn last night. on a good day, the normal speed i get on my 7.2mbit/ps modem is around 600-800kb/sec which is mostly at night.
though i used normal android browser, i dont know if the speed could be that high on other android browsers, but i will check it later.



The battery: I think the battery is the major thing here, the battery is fantastic so far. i used it all through the night (intense browsing and downloading, played couple of games like, temple run, asphalt 6, played videos, music etc)and i still have about 49% left after 5hours straight usage. so, i expect it to last more than 7-8 hours on a serious heavy usage before it finally runs out, and more than that on light usage.


Camera: The camera is totally poor, you can barely see a thing is u snap in the evening, (the flash is also rubbish except may be, for torchlight grin. snapping in the morning or anytime is not something to write about either. i rate it 20% over 100. well, if u are not a camera freak, then the phone is good.


Video: This phone handles 720p video quite good on mx player, but 1080p video stutters on it.




That is it for now. more reviews to come as time goes on. I will be doing some gaming review for u guys as well



N;b. am gonna be selling the phone off by next week Friday at 9k. so, if you are interested. just Email me


peace



Also note, this are my own personal review, it may not be in line with what others think. thanks

Re: Tecno L3 Discussion Thread by Mafia4life(m): 9:19am On Jul 18, 2013
Na wa for newbies o.. I wonder why people jump into an issue without finding facts. A good phone though but Imma stick to P3 for some reasons.
This is "Jellybeans". It means this device is graphics intends which implies more power usage. ICS and above is also RAM consuming. The available ram after booting is about 250mb ( without installing our third party apps). That means lesser ram available for multitasking or hard gaming. The GPU isn't Andreno. I found out that most games I have played well on Andreno device while on PowerVR, it usually becomes whitish. The main reason I won't buy this phone is the RAM.
