is a low end smartphone. Every company produces low end phone to cater for the low income earner. I think you should understand this better. This is not a flagship as everyone cannot buy phantom Z or Z mini.

I think tecno has enough low-end phones to last us a century, let them make 1 high-end phone. At least one

Tecno just keeps churning out and recycling the same phones with different models.

Re: Tecno Y4 Discussion Threads by Borwe: 9:17am On Apr 26, 2015
Problem with Tecno is that it isn't even a legit company, and if the phone Companies their stealing there models from catch them, they would be suied like shit. For example, does everyone remember the Tecno n3? the first smart phone? Well even that one wasn't original, they just took a phone called Q mobile smart s12, and scrapped off their logo and added Tecno. Just check google images and compare. After that they saw that Q mobile Company was also copying Blue dash mobile phone by just making slight body design(Blu is a famous company in Europe for making cheap phones, check gsmarena and compared all their phones with Tecno, you might see no difference, except from Logo.) changes.
And the listss of copy cats goes all the way to even Micromax, the proposed original makers. Micromax processors and RAM design are coppied by Blu Dash.

Q smart is based of Vietnam
Micromax is from China and mostly popular in India
Blu Dash s popular in Europe
And Tecno is popular in Africa.

Have any of you ever tried a ROM of any of the companies devices on a Tecno with similar features, well, they all RUN properly!!!!. Tecno Buy Q smart phones and just scrapp off the name and replace with theirs, this phones are very cheap in Vietnam going for less than $10 dolars. Tecno come to Africa and sell it at almost double the price, but we stupid Africans think it's cheap because their mobile features are almost as good as the so called midrange or some high range phones. EG Tecno H3 beats Samsung Galaxy Trend in processor and RAM, even Android version.

So, With all this, do you stlll think Tecno is a legit company?
NOTE: BLu although copying Micromax processing and RAM structure still offer open source updates to their phones. Their Blu Dash 3.5 counter part for Tecno N3 runs on Jelly Bean right now, but Tecno are selfish to make anything of theirs open source. It's like a small shitty version of Microsoft and a combination with Apple.

Here is how I found out. Whenever you boot your phone a log is autmatically created in /cache folder. And I guess you know about the Build.prop file in /system folder. Well the log created in the /cache folder claimed that my Phone TECNO N3 was a Q-smart s12. And it is through this cached log file that the Android OS gives Dalvik Cache information on how to run your apps during run time. I also one day out of curiosity went and took a Micromax a57 ROM and edited it slightly at the /System/app directory and flashed it into my Tecno N3, Lo and Behold! everything booted, like if it was the same Phone! The ROM is available in the Alpha Swift Tecno n3 thread, it's called T-Ultimate.
And you probably know about the Tecno N3 ROMs here in Nairaland. For example Eblak by Emmikem. If you look for Roms for Blu Dash 3.5 and Q smart you will come across a 99% similar ROM with it, who's only difference is the color scheme. Again all boot on either phones with no issues.

This lead me to conclude Tecno is not a Legit company. Since all they do is make some physical body changes to another mobile companies device and label it Tecno. Just google around and see for your self.
Tecno isn't legit. And I am a current Tecno User.

I agree with what you said 100%. I am currently using phantom a plus. My research and Google scouting for it's kitkat or lollipop custom ROM led me to discover it's basically a Cherry Mobile Omega HD phone manufactured in Phillipines. Tecno just bought it en masse, manufacture their back cover, box cover and some other peripherals to make it look like theirs. I first thought it was a contract between them and Cherry mobile but now I know better. They are lazy copycats who took advantage of Nigerian situation. They don't even update their phones. My two year old phantom a plus is still stuck on jellybean whereas cherry mobile regularly update their phones. I am planning to give it to my sister as soon as I purchase a new phone. Tecno is not legit. If international laws apply here in Nigeria, that lazy company will be cleaned out by lawsuits.

Updates ain't their thing; instead of looking for how to drop updates, they release new phones and upgrade the version instead making folks to be changing phones anyhow.
Re: Tecno Y4 Discussion Threads by SirLewis(m): 10:30am On Apr 27, 2015
I agree with borwe. All these continuous non stop releases are quite suspicious. Various apps keep indicating that my Tecno P5 is manufactured by a company called Alps. When I looked it up online, Alps is a phone manufacturer that makes phone hardware components, creates roms, and produces its own brand of phones as well as cloned phones of other brands. I guess that explains everything.
Re: Tecno Y4 Discussion Threads by Borwe: 2:02pm On Apr 27, 2015
It's just about time this company gets suied and closed. Tecno better watch out.
