I'm still trying to come to terms with how you compared this W4 camera to LG G3. Like the actual LG G3? That's a joke. Maybe it's a different version biko.

The picture isn't shabby, but it's not great either. And the LG processes better quality pictures than that.
You just committed a phone blunder... pls don't do that again

MizMyColi:


I don't refer to myself as a Tech guru because
1. I do not own a tech blog
2. I do not believe in rooting phones.

These aside, I can pretty much assert that I have held and handled major flagship phones.
But I won't delve into those.

I painstakingly created this thread because this is the first time in my history of using phones where I am getting value for LESS.

My question is, have you used the W4?
Or are you just being prejudiced and dismissive?

MizMyColi:
If you've ever been in a position where you desire something but constrained by cost due to other important priorities, then you can relate with the story I'm about to tell.

Please don't get it twisted, this is not my first time around Tecno phones. I've used two briefly Phantom Aplus and the Boom J8.
I wasn't too cool with the phantom APlus
But Having had a feel of J8 and seeing it compete comfortably with my LG G3 vigor which is way more expensive, I decided to buy it. I never hid my love for the phone here on Nairaland.

Somewhere along the line, through searching the internet, I caught wind of W4; TECNO's first Android 6.0 AKA Marshmallow Phone
I made up my mind to buy it for two main reasons.

1. It is Android 6.0
2. It was cheaper at 29k though I just realized that the phone actually sells for 23K
Little did I know that I would be getting so much value for much lesser. I found out about other features which has made me a stickler to this particular gadget. I'm going to be talking about it in my own layman language. I am not a Tech Guru per se.

Kindly note that I did not snap this picture with Tecno W4. I did this with my LG G3 because I was yet to unbox the phone at the time.
You can juxtapose this with the picture quality of the phone charger and earpiece I snapped using W4 below and reach your conclusion.

Two downsides I noticed though is that the charger has two connecting rods, I prefer three; secondly, the earpiece is very good for those who like to have a total music experience, but me, I prefer to be aware of my environment sometimes when listening to music. (Pictures attached)

THE DISPLAY & SCREENSHOT FUNCTION
I was told that the phone is a 5.0 inches HD IPS Touch Screen, initially I thought it was Fabuu, but using it now, I can say that it lived up to my expectation. Moreso, I noticed that the 5.0 inches screen size of the W4 is bigger than that of my LG G3 Vigor.
Secondly, for me, gone are the days of having to hold the volume and power key just to take a screenshot which most times ends up getting spoiled because that volume icon tends to mess it up.
All for 29,000 23,000 naira.

Pictures 1 & 2 above depict the brilliant screen display and how I get to take screenshots on my phone respectively.

CAMERA FUNCTIONALITY

The phone came with an 8MP camera. When I saw it, I was like pfffttt.
BUt to my surprise, the picture quality is amazing really. My LG G3 is 8MP as well but the picture quality is nothing compared to this one.
I snapped the phone charger and earpiece to show you guys what it looks like.

I could go on and on about other intricate features of the phone, but let me rest here first please. *Drinks Water*


You can ask me questions or better still,

curiositymaster:


Do you know that Xiaomi is overtaking (or has already overtook) iphone in China. That phone is a beauty to behold

Flashh:
This girl really need to get her hands on real phones.

Flashh:

Because of this comment, you decided to change from (f) to (m), so that they won't call you a lesbian.

Yeye!

powerfulsettingz:

Bro would you mind a phone of 15k with air conditioner, scanner. Hot plate and 7 flash light instead?

Elxandre:
Nah! LG G3 vigor she said.
An inferior younger brother to the LG G3.

grossintel:
IT IS TECNO!!! what are you saying? Even if it's 50mp camera it's still going to look like 2mp!!! Tecno phones get no software updates if its 5.1 it remains at 5.1 and you get no support compared to major flagship phones. Wait till that shit drops on the floor it won't even turn on again if it does it will hang on Tecno smart life flash heaven out of it you hear technicians say the cpu needs to be serviced! Why can't the chips inside hold on to the board when it drops. Pls go buy a phone if you have an LG G series like u clame why would u be hyping Tecno? Is this an ad or what 3 months from now Tecno will release W5 then W6 before the year runs out W8. Tired of Tecno shit.

bobo65:


G3 vigor is different from g3

But yet the camera comparison is what I'll say is a lie cos iv used a vigor, used it to snap this phone

bros mtk saw the future and the competitors they also saw the market full of potential customers demanding for a moderate device at a cheaper price that's why they up their games and was able to give us some quality like Helio and the rest
you can't compare mtk to exynos or snapdragon but they're trying
but can you say the same for tecno? nope
amidst of tough competitors they're still churning mediocre and their fans are busy hailing them instead of cautioning them. don't get it twisted am a tecno fan more than you and this is the company that started well and won the hearts of many Nigerians they tamed the ego of these popular OEMs and I was their proud user till they refused to upgrade.
i used tecno phones like n3 m6 h6 r7 and the last tecno phone i used that I vowed never to patronize them till they up their games was tecno a7 aka phantom z imagine a phone of that caliber that lacks support, updates, etc hmmm i have to sell it since then i got angry with tecno.
tecno needs serious thinking and be ready to give their customers what they need.
do you know that infinix hot note pro was the highest sold mid range phone currently and you wonder why?
it sold to the extent that infinix stopped producing it to pave way for the sales of other phones of their brand.
do you know that infinix hot note pro is still on high demand currently
have you seen a tecno with 2gb ram of 25k?
infact believe it or not tecno is not getting it right until then and you guys should stop hailing mediocre at least that their l8 should have been perfect if it was 2gb bro this is 2016.
btw I don't hate any brand but i personally hate scrap

bulldoza:
Tecno phones are classless and worthless phones
First tecno android phone I used was Phantom V7. Very problematic.
Always rebooting
Bad Bluetooth
Bad camera
Miserable battery etc in just 9 months of purchase.
And when I took it to their thievery customer care, they charged me 18k just to fix a cracked calibrator that is still active. Minus the charges for other problems oo Even my Samsung galaxy 5 calibrator doesn't cost that much. I just dumped the useless thing their.

1Stola
Is that you? Lol

Oh well, I admitted in the OP to using a Phantom APlus which I wasn't proud of in anyway.

If this one gives me issues, I will announce here.
Btw it's 23k for crying out loud.
I don't expect heaven and earth from it joor.

StepTwo:
processing speed-------1.3ghz

battery------------------2500mAh

ram----------------------1gig




why would i still use a phone with these specs at a time like dis.


this is unacceptable by me.

mizmycoli , marry me, u no gree, now see d kind joke u go buy.

You should have included the price as well.
Not just list the specs you think of as unfavouarble.

I did not buy a joke.
Stop badmouthing my device please.
If it ever gives me issues, let me be the one who does the badmouthing

BL3zzY:



you are right…
I have that LG G3 vigor (d7250)
1gig ram, 8mp…
but the cam is still
far better than that tecno w4.

ShakaZullu:
[s][/s]
bros you're just implicating yourself and disgracing yourself too.
both processor and ram determines the speed of a device.
you said ram is for apps forgetting that any launcher either custom or default is an app and consumes a great deal of ram because of it's auto run that's why you'll see these 512 ish jerking and lagging and a laggy launcher is a slow device

powerfulsettingz:

The word TECNO has spoilt everything. Try and use this phone for up to 6 months before giving us testimonies.

Tufiakwa
Google LG G3 Vigor.

Use Google always.

elklehamite:
Can this Tecno W4 be compared to Tecno Camon 8 (c8)?

I don't know and I don't care

Milikiman:
Ds is interesting.wat abt da battery life.den compared to gionee m5mini functions

fbtowner:


You would not understand. Make use of youtube. Besides if u keep analysing with all this tecno and infinix. You will never understand.


Have u ever wonder why iphone 5S Runs on 1GB ram and 6 runs on 2gb. Why galaxy S6 run on 4gb.

Mr. U need a deep knowledge to understand me.

Iphone 5S 1gb ram will beat most if not all samsung 2gb ram phone.

Please before u quote me again make deep research and not what people carry about

chidekings:


techno has started snatching our popular members to give credibility to their wack phones

DMerciful:
@ MizMyColi
Where have you been?

I've been around.

I just moved shop from Politics to explore other sections.
Seems I will be spending more time here.
Much to learn.

Rilwayne001:
well, I am still enjoying my camon c8 with the superb marshmallow features

Lol
@Chidekings

Techno must have snatched this one too.

MizMyColi:


I taya o
Too many expectations from a 23k phone.

Elxandre:

Nah!
LG G3 vigor she said.

An inferior younger brother to the LG G3.

MizMyColi:



Seriously...
You sound like you expect heaven and earth from a 23k smartphone.

The marshmallow and sleek physique is enough for me joor.

I was going to pretend like I don't understand all the tech speak up there, but that will be unfair.
Lol

I will like to give you a hands on experience answer to your questions.
Plus I'm about to leave work now.

Brb in a jiffy.
