it costs around 65k

another question. What is making this phone cost more than 2 times the price of tecno n7?

Use both of them for at least two years then you will know why the Samsung galaxy grand duos is more than twice the price of Tecno N7.

francis247: pls let someone answer some of my questions naa pls.

no adobe flash player but the phone plays flash content and it comes with YouTube player preinstalled, it plays divx files, the light conditions of the flash is not top notch but OK, the internal memory is 4gb but only 2gb is user accessible

Thanks a lot man. Does it have automatic brightness; aka sunlight legibility? And does it come with the traditional 8gb memory card like the N3?

That phone is quiet BADDER than tecno n7. The price is proportionally BADDER too.

Pstsmith: another question. What is making this phone cost more than 2 times the price of tecno n7?

Tecno company produces mobile phones specifically for Africa, and, well, Africa is full of developing countries. They know our standard of living, so they sell at what we can afford. That's why tecno are are really cheap.......so we Africans can afford it.

Just got mine. The fone is BAM!!!!

Am happy my N7 is now ROOTED.

efjaysharon: Just got mine. The fone is BAM!!!!

mjay: Am happy my N7 is now ROOTED.

How much did you guys buy it??

mjay: Am happy my N7 is now ROOTED.

how did u root it

28k is way too much for tecno n7
Better get a branded phone like galaxy S
You get support from developers, Custom ROMs etc

Brainrex: 28k is way too much for tecno n7

Yeah, way too much.

There's quiet a difference between the prices of galaxy S and this n7

Galaxy s has a single core CPU. It can't even run Real Rootball 2012 of about 400mb without series of lagging and subsequent hanging. And trust me, if you root the device to any version above Ginger Bread, you'll regret it.

that is true . A friend of mine bought the galaxy s now he's regretin because even the n3 beats it in some areas. Why pay soo much for less. Buy what gives you value for your money. It's not all about buying a popular brand. Afterall you can't use one phone forever.

omo see people dey compare galaxy s to n7 apparently you people are so against the idea of tecno producing high end phones, galaxy s that I have at home that can't even handle ordinary temple run without lagging it lags so much that hardly will you come out of three straight corners without falling, ehen did I hear about custom rom mtcw I've tried soo many roms on my galaxy s and the current rom on it is cyanogen 4.2.2 that rom is one yeye rom it can't run most apps so what's all the fuss about custom rom, if I could drop my captivate for an n3 believe me I know what I see in the tecno, n7 that could handle contract killer without stress omo thumbs up for tecno jare

mhozzis: how did u root it

Its so so easy. Just download unlockroot downloader and put ur fone in usb debugging mode, connect with ur pc and select Techno n7. Its actually very easy to root than most fones. Now I have access to all my rooted apps. Only there is no custom roms, but heck I now enjoy all that needs to be enjoyed on rooted system. Am still not missing a thing on the fone, even games run smooth and 32gig card runs flawlessly. Even if I get my Z10, Ill keep this for some time.

I'm not against any idea of high end, im a tecno fan boy and I'm so getting this phone by weekend or so just to play with it,
I've seen better devices with lower price tag

Exactly! any game above 20mb lags and eventually hangs or shuts down the device, unless there is about 100mb of free space of RAM which is only possible if you restart the device. What some peeps don't know is that there is a huge difference between single and dual core device, especially that of 2010 and that of 2013. The thing is, I think why the price of smartphones from the likes of Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, Apple and Blackberry is on the high side is inother to keep up with the trend. Yes there are some efizzies that accompany most of them which is lacking in Tecno but don't forget that it was recently revealed that these companies make well over 150% to 200% profit on each device.

Brainrex:

Brand new? such as?

people keep complaining about the price , to be sincere I think the price is OK at 27k because if you check online you see phones of similar specs for higher

efjaysharon: Just got mine. The fone is BAM!!!!

30k. slot

francis247: Brand new? such as?

yes, tell us the fones and their prices

efjaysharon:
30k. slot

I don't like this variation in prices at all

Got this from Tecno's facebook page and it got wondering if this Damsel can actually take in such hardwares.

Wow. I doubt it. Considering it doesn't have HDMI port or USB on the go. Let's see what users have to say.

well galaxy s is outdated but try comparing the N7 with brands like galaxy s ii plus, galaxy X cover, galaxy grand duos, Xperia e dual, Xperia p, Xperia v, LG optimus L5 or even Lumia 620 and see how the N7 will fare.

Helo lawalmd. .My major fear is the ba3 life,how lng can it last pls??

nybol: yes, tell us the fones and their prices

As tecno is to Africa so as
Myphone, cherry mobile is to Philippines
same as MicroMax is to India

check out "cherry mobile flare" almost the same spec of n7 and it's sold for 98USD

also check the MyPhone A848i Duo,

game like nfs mostwanted(1.3gb) lags?
you try well wel

Yeah, we can't compare those phones with the n7...so also, we can't compare the prices too. WTF........do you know how much lumia 620 is?? And hey, optimus l5 is nowhere close to n7!

does n7 has an update?.it is one aspect to be consider greatly.

when i checked d specs review of htc one,i marvelled.but considering d capital involve in getting one for myself,i had no other option than to go in for tecno n7.Abeg i go manage am for now.
