Brand wars

When you are buying a smartphone like Samsung, Huawei or Iphone do you buy the phone or you buy a brand?? Coz those phones are so fucking expensive as related to others with the same features…

Take for an instance the Phantom 6 plus and Huawei Ascend Mate 9…both phones possess the same features and specs except for where Mate 9 runs on Android 7 while the Phantom runs on Android 6…and Tecno has an iris scanner while huawei doesn’t have one…

On that is that Phantom costs 30k while the Mate 9 goes for double the price being 60k…

What mighy be the reason for this…

Ni ya nini ununue simu ambazo kazi ni kuhype features ambazo ni poor quality/won’t function more than a year (hata hapo nimestretch), software are famous for contracting malware mpaka kwa dialer and have been known to compromise on personal security, kisha ije ife baada ya a few months forcing you to buy another one?

Si heri ununue quality unajua itakusukuma 3-4 years?

Kama mfuko ndio shida, kuna Xiaomi.

hapo ndio mimi husema research is everything, that people associate quality with expensive stuff…change one pointless aspect of a phone and rename it as an upgrade with lots of profit.

every phone has to state it’s specs and materials used. Just because OP stated that specs are similar does not mean that they are.
if Samsung Galaxy S8 has a 12MP cam and Tecno Phantom 6plus has 20MP, which will produce better pics?
okay turudie the above stated phones, the Processors are different, Kirin and mediachieth, each has their own advantages and disadvantages in as much as they Might all be ARM based
CAmera si the same unless they use same sensors, lenses and software optimisations

How about software updates? one already has the lates android update while the other iko stuck at Mashmallow stage
we can go on and on na utaona why they are not similar and one has higher and better components than the other

edited to add the software part since the price includes support too

@Etigere how about we compare the KIrin 960 soc that Huawei uses Versus the Mediatek Helios X20 that the tecno uses

Tuende other components?

Sample this ,two phones from a same company,one retails at 20k and the other at 30k .there’s not so much the 30k one can do that the cheaper one cant.Unless you are a techie who looks at the nitty gritties. The research i talked about up there is that which is done by these very companies not mine, sth to do with the target group for their products.

then ungesema hivyo, si eti baada ya evidense kuletwa ndio unachange akili

what do you mean by this statement there’s not so much the 30k one can do that the cheaper one cant ?

i mean at basic level there’s no big difference.
na sijachange akili, wewe ndio hukuelewa
