sure that will be a great development. MTK phones are trying no doubt, but u know the build quality also matters.

thats just the secret why brands like TECNO and the likes are all of a sudden beginning to flex muscles- MEDIATEK .

i was arguing with one loose gun a couple of months that qualcomm snapdragon is declining and mediatek is the future.

man city is owned by folks from UAE and since phantom 6 and 6+ were launched this year in DUBAI, I knew TECNO was going to attract some serious attention sooner or later.

Kuddos to tecno they are going global

Tecno and man city? Wow that's great mehn it's remaining Barcelona

2poundz:
Awesome! But Samsung all the way.

Wait and see just give tecno more time

But where is lalasticlala sef

Calm down guys. This doesn't mean it will skyrocket Tecno to top 20 mobile phones. Oppo has a similar deal with Barcelona tho but you can't compared both brands cos they are far from one another.


Kudos to them tho

Wait and see just give tecno more time

And they will get to Samsung's level?

Great Partnership i must say, They are both striving brands trying to make head way.

ollah1:


And they will get to Samsung's level?

Is it not possible??

Samsung themselves started small like this.

What a pass! What a goal!!

Iceman296:


Is it not possible??

Impossible is nothing but you don't know how big and mighty Samsung is. You don't know

This is superb news. Tecno partnering with a football club?? I'm sure none of y'all saw this coming.

Tecno mobile steadily rising. Going global with ease. Amazing stuff.

2016 has been Tecno's year. No doubt. They've raised the bar in all aspects.

ollah1:


And they will get to Samsung's level?

Great things start small. Even Samsung didn't just become great. Tecno has been improving over the years. With time , they'll become greater than they are now.

I hope u tecno peeps understand that this is for Nigeria & not for Mancity Europe/Asia/America(s).....this advert is majorly for Tecno & not City just like City has partnership with Olympic milk, Man United has advert with Chivita & to those expecting MTK to dominate Samsung/LG or Apple, etc abeg wake them up cos them don pass their busstop for Oshodi dey enter Ojota busstop

Seems you don't know the meaning of a partnership. Is there a man city club in Nigeria? Or Tecno is limited to Nigeria alone? Seek knowledge, this deal is a global one.

And they will get to Samsung's level?

and what's stopping TECNO to be on the same with samsung？ considering that samsung had a terrible performance this 2016, I would even say SAMSUNG is the one that needs to catch, not the other way dude .

komonibo:
some of us love reading comments

Your head dy dere bro.

No one saw it coming. Some people were even speculating that it will be a new phone launch, how wrong they were.

That's to say that they really mean business, unfortunately they don't get the praise they deserve.

Flashh:
Even Samsung is begging Barcelona to be their partner, no way.

Brother, don't think it. Impossibility is nothing.
