Best Jumia Tech Week Deals

Tecno phones popularity started as far back as 2007 with their dual SIM cell phones. At a time, they were dubbed the “#1 Dual-SIM mobile brand in Africa”. But that didn’t steal the attention of young Nigerians that were obsessed with Nokia Symbian as of then.

It was the launch and/or announcement of Tecno N3 smart phone and features sometime in 2012 that did. Nigerians practically went berserk as the cyberspace was awash with news, tweaks, tips and ‘what-not’ about Tecno N3.

In fact, I wasn’t spared in the Tecno N3 madness as I also laid my hands to the popular Poot Tecno apk and some other rooting apps and tools that let one gain root access to Android devices. A lot has changed between 2012 (when some persons consider Tecno an inferior brand) and 2017, hence this post.

10 Reasons to fall in Love with Tecno Devices in 2017

Here are some 10 ways the brand “Tecno” has improved on their newer devices. We picked this 10 as deal-breakers out of several other features/functions that comes with later Tecno devices.

4. Iris Scanner:

With the current rise of fraud and hack in the cyberspace today, one has to adopt intelligent measures to stay safe and also out-smart the so called “Scammers”. One way to achieve this is through the use of smart-intelligent devices, which our smartphone is one of them.

Tecno flagship devices boasts of “Iris Scanner”. This allows you to operate your device with eye contact, secure your private documents and keep your E-gadgets safe. It is a features that isn’t found in their older devices.

5. Premium Body Build:

Nigerian mid-class income group often refers to Tecno as a brand that’s only interested in churning out cheap plastics and where hardly proud of owning one during its early days.

Not until Phantom 5 and other premium models broke the jinx with full-metal bodied premium devices. Even top Nigerian influencers are proud to flaunt devices like; Tecno L9 plus, Camon 9, Phantom 5 and 6, Camon CX and CX air nowadays.

6. Good Cameras:

Truly, one can hardly oppose the fact the Tecno phones comes with astonishing camera life. Starting from the introduction of its “Camon series” to the Flagship of the “L9 plus” and then to “Phantom Series”, Tecno phones has indeed proved to be unbeaten by its close competitors when it comes to Good Camera Quality.

The flagship of the Camon CX and CX air indeed made a great impact in mobile photography as it is packed with whooping 16MP camera’s (both rear and front) with ring flash technology.

7. Long Lasting Batteries:

One of the biggest problems we encounter with our smartphones is their battery life. Getting the best from our smartphone solely depends on the battery life.

Tecno smartphones pack encouraging battery capacity ranging from 3,500 – 5,200 mAh. And also, with the Tecno HiOS UI now present in their devices, your 3,500 mAh battery will last as long as a 4,000mAh battery of some other phone’s battery. The Tecno L series, Camon series and Phantom series boasts of good battery capacity.

8. Hardware:

Tecno has made a reasonable improvement on their hardware/firmware compared to its early days. Their devices are mostly powered with latest MediaTek Processors and powerful GPU’s that aids performance and multi-tasking. With a 1.5 GHz MediaTek MT6750T Octa-core processor and Mali 860 GPU, multi-tasking ain’t a problem for you.

9. OTG Cable:

OTG is a short way of saying “On The Go”. Therefore, OTG cables mean On The Go cables. When it comes to smartphone device integrated technology, the invention of OTG USB cables is one of the best and coolest innovations so far.

The OTG cable can be used to connect two devices and work with them at same time. Almost all newer versions of Tecno devices support the OTG feature. With OTG feature support, you can:

a. Connect to a Game Controller: With the help of OTG cables, one can connect his/her phone to a game pad and enjoy the best gaming experience.
b. Charge your smartphone from another smartphone: Yes, you can connect your smartphone to a friend’s own when you are out of power with an OTG cable.

f. Connect to a condensed Microphone: A real mic can be connected to your smartphone using an OTG cable to deliver high-quality audio while recording.
