It's been a while pals.. But we have a new beast coming soon. It's the Infinix Zero 4 flagship for 2016. There have been a lot of rumors regarding the smartphone, and some folks do believe it will have two models.. What I do know is that it's going to have some monster specs and the boring design on the Zero 3 has been replaced with some stunning finishing...

Phones / Tecno Phantom 6: What We Want To See And What’s The Story So Far by TechRez(m): 8:56am On Aug 19, 2016 |
Rumors of the so-called Tecno Phantom 6 has already hit the web. While the alleged image of the phone leaked weeks ago from the source looks legit, some of the rumored specs appears to be a mere figment of one’s imagination. Last year, when Tecno Phantom 5 launched, it caused a lot of criticism on the price point, what will be the approach of Tecno this year? Will they still want their flagship phone to be for the elite or will they make it cheaper than last year’s variant when this year’s model is expected to be more powerful? That said, here are some of the things we want to see in the upcoming Tecno Phantom 6 or whatever it is called eventually. Tecno must really do something innovative to make us want the Tecno Phantom 6. If they are bringing a rebranded phone with a different name tag, they better keep it in their HQ because it would be dead on arrival. Release Date If Tecno follows previous release pattern, there are chances that we will see the Tecno Phantom 6 as early as next month. Yes, September! That’s the month Tecno launched its Phantom 5 last year. It unlikely, we will see the phone in September, but October looks more feasible, giving that the company just launched the Camon C9 and C7. They will need some kind of a break in between, before promotions for their biggest launch happens. An October bet looks golden! Water Resistance It appears these Chinese OEM’s have exhausted their marketing gimmicks, but they could still leverage on one of the most requested 1P67, 68 or 57 certification that brings water-resistance and dust-proof ability to smartphones. We’d love some sort of ingress protection to be on the Tecno Phantom 6. RAM & Processor LeEco is already prepping a 8GB RAM smartphone and we expect Tecno to do the needful by boosting the RAM of Tecno Phanton 6 to 6GB. For this to happen, the company has to ditch the continued usage of the outdated MediaTek last generation SoC. Going with MediaTek Helio X20 or X30 would be absolutely fantastic for a flagship device. Infinix Zero 3 was the first emerging smartphones in Nigeria market to use the Helio X10 chipset, Tecno should look up rather than stagnate itself with lame and dated processors. This is a flagship, so we’d expect to flagship treatment. Design & Display Tecno Phantom 5 should traditionally come in 5.5-inch design, and it is expected to offer a Quad HD display for pixel densities of anything above 500ppi. We think rather than improving the screen to body ratios, which was one of our issues with the Tecno Phantom 5 design last year, Tecno should go for an edge to edge design like the Samsung Galaxy Edge design. This design element should make the next Tecno Phantom device VR ready, also there have got to be gyroscope which was shamefully missing on the Tecno Phantom 5. VR is going mainstream, let’s just hope that if Tecno do increase the resolution, it can find a way to manage the battery life. We expect the Phantom 6 to retain its full metal unibody design and ofcoruse, the fingerprint. Tecno is yet to perfect its iris scanner technology and it could be better restrained to its Camon range of smartphones. Dual Lens Camera Tecno’s R&, vertical manufacturing expertise and geographical footprint looks really impressive these days, but if the company can come up with a dual lens camera on the Phantom 6, then we can confidently say that the guys have got the ability to innovate independently which is the key to staying relevant in the smartphone industry.

Phones / Innjoo Mobile Is Dying And It’s A Good Thing by TechRez(m): 9:08am On Jul 29, 2016 |
Dubai owned OEM InnJoo may be on it’s way to extinction in Nigeria’s smartphone market after the company’s new range of devices failed to excite users. InnJoo was one of those underdogs, elevated by the gloom of it’s InnJoo Fire, a super cheap 2GB RAM smartphone. Damn! That was too good of an offer from any OEM in Nigeria at that time. The success was short-lived, however. The Fire smartphone itself came with a non-branded battery as well as several issues that rocked the smartphone which were not fixed in subsequent release. In July 2015, Nigeria authorities reportedly shut down InnJoo HQ for bringing sub-standard products into Nigeria. For agencies like the Standard Organization of Nigeria, SON and NCC which are corruption ridden to clamp down on InnJoo products, it does raises an eyebrown on the authenticity of their products. Fast-forward to 2016, when the company eventually released three smartphones, it got the hammer from Nigerians for offering “fake” products in Nigeria. It looks like I predicted wrongly, when I over-hyped the company as the next big innovation in Nigeria smartphone markets. Today, all that has changed and we have permanently stopped reviewing their so-called phones on our platform until the company gets its act together. InnJoo is dying, it is definitely a good thing and before you cut my head for saying that; I’d let you know that such a shake up or bad omen will make them go back to the drawing board and get Nigerians something of much value. Dead or Alive, Nigerians smartphone users are in for the win. http://www.techrez.com/innjoo-mobile-dying-good-thing/ |

Phones / Lets Welcome The First Tecno Phone With An Eye Scanner by TechRez(m): 7:47am On Jun 11, 2016 |
Tecno has made the Camon C9 the most robust smartphone ever created with features that will simply blow your mind. The journey from Tecno Camon C8 to the Camon C9 is the one of the most interesting evolution I have seen in the Tecno family. The reason of this is because of massive gap the upcoming Tecno Camon C9 has over its predecessor. The Chinese OEM is all set to make the Camon C9 a little more secure, our source says the upcoming phone would be equipped with an iris scanner, which can be used to encrypt and unlock your phone with your eyes. One reason that makes iris scanning promising is it being the only internal organ easily captured by a camera. Apart from that, the rich and unique patterns of random blood vessels in iris provide higher recognition accuracy than any other biometric authentication. I’d let you know how this secrete futures works but our focus is based on the Tecno Camon C9 camera that our source say crushes other smartphone. The Camon C9 is a dedicated photographic phone and that explains why Tecno is focusing so much on the camera. What Makes The Camon C9 Camera So Advanced? Tecno Camon C9 is designed entirely to capture great photos with its impressive dual 13MP camera located at the front and back of the phone, it makes the Camon C9 very special. The middle selfie camera shots accurate photos from a natural angle, the front camera also has 120-degree Panoramic Mode, which makes the Camon C9 a selfie b http://www.techrez.com/tecno-camon-c9-features-eye-scanner-exclusive-camera-specs-emerge/

Phones / How Smartphone Makers Are Defrauding Nigerians by TechRez(m): 6:41am On Jun 10, 2016 |
A case where phone makers deliberate set out to rip off the wallet of Nigerians with juicy marketing, only to make a U-turn and do what they ought to do in the first instance. What do I mean? Now, I have seen a couple of phone makers make a certain phone with 1GB RAM, and then 3-months later, they release the same phone with 2GB RAM and add appellations like “Plus, Max, Pro” at the end of the original name. These OEM’s have no “trade-in” policy, they deliberately want Nigerians to dump their new phone and purchase the same phone with a re-branded name. Ouch! For other phone makers, they make the two variant, 1GB RAM and 2GB RAM, release only the 1GB version in Nigeria and send the two 2GB version to Kenya and UAE because those countries have a government – This is fraud! The United States has a regulatory body called FCC that checks the quality and authenticity of phones coming into their country. Even the highly rated Xaiomi had a tough time entry the U.S market because of the standards the Chinese OEM had to meet. Over here in Nigeria, the Standard Organization of Nigeria and NCC allows anything into Nigeria, as if our dear country is dumping ground for some of these phones that should be destroyed at the shores of Nigeria. I earlier decried the so-called Yezz Mobile Jumia wanted to flood into the market, I am glad the brand was dead on arrival. There are other OEM’s who have established their brand in Nigeria, but now take us for granted with their bizarre business policy – This is fraud, it is dumb and delusional. It’s even more disheartening that some OEM’s create phones without parts and accessories. They don’t want to offer repair services even when they know their stuff is inferior, they want you to keep buying the same sh!t with the money they don’t deserve. http://www.techrez.com/smartphone-makers-defrauding-nigerians/ 125 Likes 14 Shares |

Phones / Closer Look At The Tecno Camon C9 by TechRez(m): 8:55pm On Jun 03, 2016 |
There have been a lot of rumors and reports regarding the upcoming Tecno Camon C9 over the past few weeks but so far live images of the smartphone haven’t really been leaked online. Photographed in full color and non-blurry, we have our first glimpse of the smartphone that is rocking the Nigeria mobile community. The images do reveal a re-designed smartphone with ultra-slim cambered body and a metal frame. Looks like the Camon C9 is going to also come in various colors, ranging from the champagne gold, to the sandstone black and pearl white. With few weeks left until the launch of Tecno Camon C9 and the steady patters of leaks taking place, it was only a matter of time until live image of the phone surfaced which is a huge relief. We can see that the Tecno Camon C9 doesn’t really look like the Camon C8, Tecno adopts a new design language that gives the phone a premium look. The much talked about front camera is visible in the middle, which puts to shame rumors of a rotating camera, inside-out. It’s important to know that the Tecno partnered with some high-tech camera company to make the seflie camera. Tecno is leaving nothing for granted, they ultimately want to make the Camon c9 the best seflie camera phone with 13MP sensor. http://www.techrez.com/first-live-images-tecno-camon-c9-leaks/ 1 Share

Phones / 1GB Ram On Any Android Smartphone Above 30k Is A Fraud by TechRez(m): 9:53am On May 20, 2016 |
A guy who purchases a smartphone above N30,000 expects the phone to function properly. In most cases, this doesn’t happen. After prolong usage, traces of lag and low performance becomes noticeable. The point is this; OEM’s that ramp up their smartphone with only 1GB RAM have memory clean up apps to ease things off. However, most users do not remember to make use of such app, which leads to problems in future. While iOS and Windows 10 Mobile can run effectively on 1GB RAM. Android is a sorry case, Android apps are big, bulky and not really optimized. Phone manufacturers do not make this any better with their custom ROM that’s bloated at best. You need to arm that baby with enough memory to be efficient. C’mon.. In 2012, 1GB RAM was a big deal. In fact, flagships like the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 were equipped with 1GB RAM. Fast forward to 2016, you’d notice the gradual change. The upcoming Galaxy Note 6 is rumored to come with 8GB RAM, but it’s safer to peg it at 6GB of RAM since Snapdragon 820 SoC can only support 6GB RAM at this time. Although, Samsung has a technology that supports allocation of more RAM. In September 2015, Samsung unveiled its 12GB mobile DRAM chips, a new technology that will pave way for 6GB RAM phones. The 12GB LPDDR4 enables 3GB or 6GB mobile DRAM in a single package. For 3GB, it uses two chips while 6GB of RAM will make use of four chips. Coming back to the software, Android apps make use of Java. Java utilizes a technology called garbage collection for its processes on Android smartphones. The garbage collection simply recycles the RAM when a user closes an app. Here is where the problem lies and why 1GB RAM smartphone needs to die once and for all – Garbage collection requires 2-4 times more RAM because it performs memory clean after application closed unlike iOS which uses objective C for applications. Going further, there is no proof to show that adding an extra gigabyte of RAM on a smartphone will make the phone exceed manufacturing cost. While we don’t have any market tool to show the price of RAM like what’s available on PC, phone manufacturers should be smart enough to know areas to cut down on production process in other to up the RAM size. I didn’t expect to see any mid-range smartphone having 1GB RAM in 2016 but such phones have flooded the market and it’s a shame. Phone manufacturers targeting Nigeria need to brace up and up their game – it’s okay for smartphones under N30,000 to have 1GB RAM, but it’s a fraud if you design an Android phone with 1GB RAM and sell for N30,000 or above the price margin. What do you think? http://www.techrez.com/1gb-ram-android-smartphone-fraud/ 2 Likes |
