Tecno Smartphones In Nigeria 2019 (Cheap) – Specs

It won’t be an overstatement to say that Tecno smartphones are one of the few best selling smartphones in Nigeria.

The Tecno brand is as well one of the popular phones across Africa.

What drives the canter for these branded devices. Let’s take a look at Tecno smartphones in a comprehensive overview with focus on those models released this year(2019).

Why the tecno brand is Nigeria’s bestselling!

‘Tecno phones are generally cheap‘ – this is one foremost reason why the Tecno brand doesn’t disappoint when dropped into the market. Most of Tecno flagships don’t sell up to N75,000 when released newly but this is not so with many brands.

Imagine buying a popular new phone model in Nigeria at a relatively cheap price – it’s 8:2 going to be Tecno branded.

One of my friends had one of the popular phones so revered by the youths; I was less surprised that it was a Tecno brand but i was extremely surprised it was bought newly at a price of about N32,000. I asked him about the price some days back and as well learnt that it’s price is depreciating each day.

Why Tecno phones are cheap

One other distinct characteristic of Tecno phones is that although most of these devices are cheap, one or some of it’s features are average. A case study is on the camon series. All smartphones under the series have triple compact rear cameras with good megapixels but relative offers poor battery capacity.

Why would Tecno be offering to each of it’s devices more of some features and less of the remaining features? It’s not difficult to decipher! Aside developing the mobile phone, smartphone companies develop brands to make money. All business-oriented phone companies gives out to the market smartphones which they could afford.

If they were to make a ‘perfect phone, not many would be able to afford; the cost of production is proportional to the cost of the end-product, which is the phone you hold. To give the low-income market a technological advanced smartphone for a convenient price, they have to be deprived of some features. And Tecno Mobile usually produce phones for this market class.

Let’s start our review with this:

A youth motivated spark series earlier in the year had included in it’s pack, the Tecno spark 3 which has two variant: the 1GB & 2GB model; and the Tecno Spark 3 pro version.

All three models of tecno spark 3 are unique. The spark 3 1GB model packs an AI rear camera of 13MP while the 2GB RAM variant uses a dual AI 13MP + 2MP rear cameras.
