I think we need to go for Antutu rating to contest that "jupiter smacking"

lilmax: Later one id.iot will come here and say tecno phones are for the masses if i hear,this is just the beginning i pity those who will buy this nonsense for this amount

LordReed:

I have lost faith in those benchmarks, too easily manipulated by manufacturers. I have used the Xperia Z1 utilizing the Snapdragon 800 and it is faster than my S5.5 so I know what I am saying.

LordReed:

I bought the Gionee Elife S5.5 the world's slimmest phone as of now for 42k, Tecno is not giving anything the S5.5 doesn't have so how come the high price? The most expensive Gionee phone does not use a mediatek chip but rather a Snapdragon 800 and it costs about 70k can you compare mediatek and Snapdragon?

authority2006: But you are the idiott here. Tecno still have many phones for the masses unlike Samsung and LG.

Kamaye: Dude, even at the low end it is an established fact that Gionee and Opsson sell their phones cheaper than tecno.

s3nn2x:
Where did you get the phone. My adventures with Tecno would be over very soon.


@post I can never buy a Tecno phone or any Chinese for anything more than 50k. When there is Samsung and HTC. I use a Phantom A+ and I like this phone, based on the specs, but coughing out 68k for it, is a very big no.

4llerbuntu: please can someone explain how and why a phone's front facing camera has flash?

as in u stare into a flash for selfies or video chats?

That same Samsung Galaxy S3 and a host of low end Samsung phones have already been rocking Kitkat for a long time via Custom ROMS.... Thats the beauty of Samsung... Whether they release updates or not men must still flex updates.... ✔

OohMpa: Okay...

shogz89:
Please what's the difference in price and specifications between gionee e3 an phantom a+

Randerl:





Correct Guy. You are the man.

coolakins:
Am glad u like ur Phantom A+ & I strongly believe the same conviction will make u go for the PheeZee, despite the price....cos of what it has to offer & not because its a chinese brand. A whole lot of these phones globally are still made in China or have their components made in there (thru franchising and all that... so?), what difference does it make with tecno? They have really evolved sincerely!

Shipping costs? That's $30 or $40 with commission to Nigeria. A lot of companies do that already.

Add that to those prices up there and its still way less than "#68 500"

And display is relative. The super amoled display could be the one used in the s3. One particular unit racks up production cost and that's screen.
Put the amoled of s4 or s5 or even tab s and Ooh Mpa is sure it would exceed "68 500"

Stop acting like the fellow magas of our generation when you could get cheaper phones for a better spec. It kills to be foolish

s3nn2x:
Guy, you just dey list prices whey you see for internet. Where in Nigeria are those phones readily available? Please, don't tell me Aliexpress or Alibaba...you did not even include shipping cost.

coolakins:
thank u for the insight but these prices are still relative by the time u order online & pay for delivery too, am positive u will opting for the tecno quietly. And none in ur list features Amoled display, which still makes the PheeZee a top-notch!

s3nn2x:
Actually, my issue is not with the price but the availability of the product in Nigeria. Do you sell those phones? Or do you want me to order through you? I tried ordering a phone last year through someone here, the guy told me it would take up to a month for me to receive the product because China banned shipping of battery on plane.

coolakins: But really, is there anything unusual about the mediatek processor that I have seen a few people complain about in here? The mediatek processor is a high quality brand not just used by tecno but even by other major phone manufacturers - infinix, Jiayu, huawei, gionee etc and they don't necessarily come cheap. Besides, this is an 8-core (octa-core) processor with speed clocked at 2.0GHz, how many high-end phones can even beat this for now? It's display resolution is 1080p & amoled (most phones are of 720p & IPS). With 2GB RAM & 16GB storage, I mean what more can u ask for? These are the same specs in samsung galaxy s4 & 5 sold for over a 100k. Pls, let's be more realistic. In my opinion, it is a great phone! The greatest tecno has made so far & I think it's going to fly and even most of the people on this forum will buy - cos they are the Tecno mobile warriors!!
