China-based mobile phone manufacturer, Tecno Telecom Limited, exclusively does business in Africa. years back, the company released the first ‘made in Ethiopia’ smartphone. Tecno vice president, Arif Chowdhury was in Nairobi recently and told How we made it in Africa’s Dinfin Mulupi about the firm’s expansion strategy and its plans to move all of its manufacturing to Africa.


Note that :Tecno lunched it's camon c9 early this month

How and why did Tecno enter the African market?

The company started in 2006 in Hong Kong with our first research and development centre in Shanghai, China. For two years, our business focused on the South Asia market. After studying the markets in South East Asia, Africa and Latin America, we found out that Africa would be the most lucrative market for us. We began operations here in 2008 before eventually stopping our business in Asia to exclusively focus on Africa....

I don't think that is the case coz I've used Chinese brands like ZTE and Lenovo and I think qualitywise they are quite the same. I think they're just avoiding high costs of setting up and entering these markets. Only option would be to sell these phones on online stores like everbuying.net and not provide any direct sales services in these countries, which I think is shady business.

I haven't had the chance to use their best products like zte nubia but from what I used, for instance I recently compared Lenovo k3 note to a tecno c9. I can confirm that they're pretty much similar. I repeat I haven't used their best products so I don't know the extent of their strengths but lenovo and the other brands also have a long list of crappy phones which somehow make it to global markets.

Now you're talking.

K3 note is a performer. But don't compare performance because k3 note takes the lead. Lenovo have got a well optimised ROM with their OTA update.


Tecno haven't live up to my expectation. They still have a long way to go.

Until the day tecno starts using qualcomm or other high end processor, then i would start taking them serious. But they have to use inferior/low quality alternatives to keep their price low hence attractive to the african market.

African was the most lucrative for them simply because, " you can get away with selling crappy devices with no proper after sale services, no standard compliance test you need to scale through, corrupt officials, and a lot of people are not smartphone savvy yet.. In a nutshell, this is what their Indian VP meant. Am suspecting this tecno is an Indian company masquerading as Chinese...

9ja guyz entered China, sign a deal with a company that produce phone and give it a name then send it down to Nigeria.

Coming to Africa to me is a win-win situation for both the firms and the consumers. Give the consumers an affordable device and make money. With most African countries as developing countries most of its citizens cannot really afford high end devices from the well known Samsungs, iPhone, HTC and the likes, so Tecno bridges that gap.
