Transsion Holdings waliamua Tecno will be their flagship line badala ya Infinix. And, perhaps it’s okay. What do I know?
Of late, Tecno has been made to look more and more like a serious brand. Mpaka wametoa a foldable phone. But it’s the Phantom X2 that is quite something. If you have not handled it, I suggest next time ukipita karibu na a Safaricom shop, perhaps the only place you can get a live demo unit, make a detour na utaipata hapo. But you will need roho ngumu lest you get tempted to buy one on impulse. Ni kazuri sana and it looks premium. The minute I held it in my hand, memories of the ever sleek Samsung Galaxy Note 9 just overwhelmed me! The x2 is good.
And the photos it takes…, wueh!
BBut… But ni kama watu hawajakua impressed by the general Tecno brand. Hata hio X2 is like it’s receiving mixed reactions. I think it’s because tecno hutengeneza too many models using too much mediocre hardware and specs.
My opinion, Transsion should not keep on trying to force tecno to be what it can’t be, a premium brand. Customers have for long associated tecno with mediocrity. Infinix was already slay-queening all over the place wakati tecno was sheepishly making it’s entry with their mulika mwizi toys. Perhaps Infinix, if it was given more leeway, would have had a better impact than tecno. Na ikiwa Infinix isn’t favorable to the managers, wouldn’t it have been wiser to acquire an other brand iwe inatengeneza premium phones pekee. A brand like LG, perhaps? Hata infinix used to be a French company before they bought it!
Tecno phones are for peasants. Hata watengeneze premium phones bado itakuwa ya peasants ikiwa na Infinix na Itel. Mediocre cheap phones na simu zao wamejaza ads kila mahali kama kombamwiko. Tecno achia maskini.
Around 2017 most ghaseers wenye walikua wanakuja kwa cyber yangu ati whatsapp yao iko na shida walikua na Tecno. Those phones had serious compatibility issues with android. Kutoka hio time nilichukia hio brand na nika-swear sitawai buy. Kitu funny ni ati even the cheapest Huawei phones worked fine. I’m sure they’ve made improvements since then but for me the damage is done. Afadhali ata nibuy Huawei, Redmi, Realme, au Oppo in that order.
My only problem with Tecno ni their Hios skin , hate that skin, if you compare Android 10 na 12/13 kwa tecno hakuna difference na too many sponsored apps eating up half of the storage . Hio flagship wangeleta ikiwa stock Android
Until they work on their skins, I will never consider them a serious brand. I strongly suspect that their shitty UI brings in a decent amount of money juu sielewi why they insist on sticking with it yet its the biggest source of complains from potential customers. Xiaomi actually rakes in billie dollars from ads they slap on their skins thats why they manage to underprice their phones
Indeed, siwezi guza Chinese phones except OnePlus. Bought a realme device for mukoro, uzuri was to drop it to her in three days, katika pilkapilka za kuchokora Simu ads za ngwati zikaanza kupushiwa, had to get her Nokia X10.
Izo ads niliona kwa infinix ata ukiturn off the responsible apps they still find a way of sneaking in their stuff. Ni kama tu imekua malware embedded right in the OS
That’s how they make their money, they entice gullible customers with pocket friendly prices. With 15-20K you can get a phone with almost ball bells and whistles
These phones are laden with ads everywhere. In the stock launcher, in their useless bloatware apps that you can’t remove. Even in the OS itself.
THESE STUPID PHONES! 6GBs of RAM and yet the system force-closes apps the minute you switch to another app. Switching tabs on a browser? The concept of caching locally doesn’t exist so you’ll have to reload every freaking tab. Even downloading is halted when you leave the app.
Man, I’ve tried figuring out why Tecno and Infinix phones disconnect from PCs while accessing some folders or while transfering data. Maybe it’s because they all use eMMC storage type.
Yo! I’ve remembered most of these phones have crappy WiFi/Bluetooth antennas.
Also, they all lie about memory. 7GBs of RAM yet 4GB is physical memory and 3GB is virtual memory on the slow AF eMMc storage chip.
Bonobos only want two things in a phone… a good camera to make timtom videos and storage to save said videos. Battery life, AMOLED, LTE… hizi ni mainitials mingi zitamconfuse.
Mimi siezi tumia simu ya Android hauezi unlock bootloader ama kuroot.
Wadau how do you about disabling hizo ads. Hizo ads hufanya hizi simu za chingchong zina overheat. Nilikuwa na zile Tecno za kwanza. Hiyo simu ilikuwa ina chemka kama radiator ikiwa Kwa mfuko. Ukicheza game ads kibao.
