shogz89:
Bro both have the same spec and both where on the same price at lunch,,, the major difference is that the a+ has refused to drop in price while the e3 has fairly reduced

Osyxcel: Although the price may be a little on the high side, I don't think it is too over-priced

Osyxcel: To those comparing Tecno prices with other chinese phones you see on AE and other websites, don't forget that Tecno has physical presence in Nigeria, it pays taxes to the government, it builds/buy/rent service centers, it pays salaries of staffs e.t.c, and lately, it's investing in advertising. All these finances are incorporated in the prices of it's phones

What is your point?

Those other phone manufacturers don't pay taxes to their own government?
Their staff dey work free? They even spend more with their R&, OTA updates and even publications
And yet they have those prices up there

Osyxcel: All in all, I think Tecno Phantom Z would be good enough at the price of 60k (68k might be due to the hyping by the distributors, might not cost up to that)

OohMpa:

Its way overpriced

Even 60k is a ripoff compared to those phones up there

This is MTK for Pete's sake
Cube talk 9x with an octacore mtk8592 has antutu of over 40000, retina screen and the likes yet it's still $199

MTK is cheap and Ooh Mpa no like that price at all

s3nn2x:
Are you serious?
38k?
Where can one get it?
I have always liked Jaiyu.

OohMpa:


Go to tech market section. Bizbloke, initialize are the main ones for China

TrebleChamp: LordReed how come you haven't giving us a hands on review of this beautiful device? I think you are the only person i know using the s5.5 for now. Pls your hands on review soon, thanks.

LordReed:

I will do so but I was hoping to upgrade to kitkat first.

Tobbie9: Just Googled oneplus who knows how i can get it

francis247: And when Samsung release Android P update 4 galaxy S5, you'll still be stuck with Kitkat or sell your phantom Z @ 25k to buy Phantom Z+++...

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?

mrdrizzy: like seriously?? Did u jst say dat?..havnt u asked urself why most top brands flagships fones dnt use mediatek??..efficiency is what matters..its nt about packing all the whole cores together..

D fact remains dis device is tooooo cost.zopo has same chipset,and processor with beta design..for something abit cheaper,same goes to thl

but one thing is sure..tecno created one really impressive device...our issue here is price

Osyxcel: With this specs, I can say Tecno has really evolved, and it is positioning itself to serve as a competition against the phone giants.

Although the price may be a little on the high side, I don't think it is too over-priced,

To those comparing Tecno prices with other chinese phones you see on AE and other websites, don't forget that Tecno has physical presence in Nigeria, it pays taxes to the government, it builds/buy/rent service centers, it pays salaries of staffs e.t.c, and lately, it's investing in advertising. All these finances are incorporated in the prices of it's phones.

Also, regarding those downplaying the MTK chipset, kindly note that the latest series of MTK chipset are very good such as MT6582, MT6589 and MT6592. They are really good enough for activities ranging from normal to heavy usage, don't let those big name chipsets deceive you, the only big advantage they have over MTK is probably early support for new android versions.

All in all, I think Tecno Phantom Z would be good enough at the price of 60k (68k might be due to the hyping by the distributors, might not cost up to that).

My submission doesn't mean that if i have 60k, I will not go for other options cheaper than this, it all depends on my assessment of the pros and cons.

OohMpa:



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

busoye19:

Contact @initialize on whatsapp 0808 076 2473. I bought it from him, it's what I'm using now.

Tobbie9: Just Googled oneplus who knows how i can get it

ibietela2:

You mean those 1 month Shipping options?

3 to 8 days cost around $50 to $80

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!!

coolakins:
And bro... you no go put ur SIM for that Core i5 o and u wont do whatsapping & Bbming on it. So what do u say of iPhones that cost a ton?

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?

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!

biz2get:

My instinct tells me.... Yuu were paid for all of this
As in... For goodness sake cant yuu open yuur eyes and see whats good from bad??
