The only sour experience I have had with Tecno was last year. The screen of a phantom A plus (also called phantom Z) I bought 2 years back got broken and for some reason the phone refused to switch on. I took it to Carl Care (Tecno official phone repair/maintenance brand in Nigeria) and the very rude staff that attended to me said ''that phone is outdated, newer versions of it are out''. I replied ''I didn't ask to buy a new one, all I want to do is repair this one''. She waived me off with ''the parts are no longer available''. I was like ''a phone just about 2 years in the market?''
those staff are as useless like their inferior pangolo /calculator they Kal phone.Why don't u cause a scene/shout her down? Useless phone

Instead of wasting that kind money on fake tecno and infinix phones, why not try coolpad, their products are better than Tecno and Infinix .

My Coolpad 8297 boasts of 8mp camera and 5mp front camera, 2gb ram and 2ghz processor.

I don't buy low class phones.i don't buy very poor quality products. I have a friend that has the nonsense phone.and snap chat lags.the lowest app.i tried to play na 2k17 to test the processor.it was very very bad.buy Tecno products at your on penny.
So the snap chat is ur problem wit d camon now abi? A fone that yu dont even use nd yet yu takin all d panadol on behalf of ur imaginary friend. And yu pple buying fones of 25k nd expecting it to perform like dat of 65k. Una be tif? Even some nokia fone witout camera goes for more than 15k.

Not only substandardphones, but no parts. Imagine a W4 I bought for 22k last year and stopped charging after 2 weeks am asked to pay 16k for repairs after a technician I asked to check the phone voided the warranty. Tecno should manufacture parts.

@Op, you have to be careful with your choice of words cuz there's nothing substandard about the product , it's only the specs which I'm sure is littered online

Tecno products are good esp Camon series. Presently I use camon 7 n I tell u that I love the phone. The camera is bomb and the storage capacity is large for the price. Just 43k. But some tecno products are actually annoying esp d W series

What everyone must understand is that there are different products for different target groups. Those in the target groups of the aforementioned phone would not be bothered by a 2MP camera. Most of those people are after a basic android phone. They are either using it as a second phone to complement their main phone or upgrading from a small java phone or their pocket is limited.

The OP can save money and go for a phone that have all the features he is looking for instead a berating a brand

That could majorly be that most of these road side engineers do not have sufficient knowledge to service the phones; hence we always recommend taking our devices to Carlcare service center, where there are trained professionals to attend to faulty devices

Una phone dey substandard period.
Mr OP, I don't blame you at all, I only blame the mod that moved this useless thread to front page. But have you ever wondered why your so called sub standard Tecno phones are selling more than other phone brands in Nigeria and even Africa?
Two reasons-
1. They made their phones affordable: If you were to buy a Samsung or HTC product that got equally the same specs as your Tecno W2, the price will be far higher than the Tecno W2. If the W2 is sold at 20k, HTC or Samsung of similar specs will be sold at around 33k. That means that you are paying the extra money just for the brand name.
Though a 2mp camera on HTC or Samsung could performance better than a 2mp on tecno, infinix, Gionee and Co, But Nigerians are poor and shrewd people; They'll always go for the cheapest option so as to get the best value for their money.
2. Tecno phones are made in different categories/series to suit the needs of different people:
Even as you are complaining about your W2, there are lots of people who are looking for a phone with the exact specs and price as your W2. If you actually knew what you wanted or at least research to know the different series of Tecno phones in the market, you wouldn't have bought the W2. For your information, the Tecno W series are for those who only care about using the latest android marshmallow 6.0 version. Apart from that, there's nothing really special about the W series. Though there are w3, w4, w5 with better camera and specs than W2, but you chose the lowest of that series and expect magic specs and superb camera. If the camera was your main priority, you'll have gone for the camon C series. As for me, battery life was my main priority so I went for the L series. I'm typing this from my TECNO L5. I bought it 20,500 last year before the extreme rise of the dollars. I don't want to tell you how much I enjoyed the phone before you call me a TECNO agent. My friend wanted a phone with better music experience and I advise him to go for the Tecno boom j series. But if you are one of those who want everything in one phone, then sell your properties and go for the Tecno Phantom series.

Tecno knows what they are doing and that's why they are succeeding in Nigeria and will continue to succeed with or without your patronage.

So you think you can get 2 gb RAM, 13mp 32gb storage and finger print scanner with less than 30k? You suppose get your head checked

Go and buy Samsung phone of 30k whether you will find up to 1GB RAM in it Samsung Duos is 728 MB ram sold at 25k
Even with the low specs, I'm a 100% sure that the Samsung would outperform the Techno, with all its plenty numbers.

The Samsung would be better in:
* Voice clarity
* Better user-friendly autocorrect
* more eye-friendly screen
* quick UI loading and faster browsing speed,
* better battery life,
* etc...

I wonder how these Chinkos generate all these high numbers in the name of specs, without corresponding output to match these numbers...

am still finding it so hard to understand why the mod moved this thread to the front page without taking time to read the nonsensee post from the OP.

some people might not have time to open the topic but might just see it and frontpage and quickly come to the conclusion that Tecno produce substandard phones. it's very wrong pls.

back to the subject matter.

you can't compare a #15000 worth of a Tecno phone to a #150000 worth of the same brand.

Tecno have different phones in respect to different needs. L series are for batteries, Camon are for cameras and so on. why not go for the spec that suite you better.

you bought a 20k phone blindly and you are already complaining about the spec, that's not cool.
