In today’s world, having a smartphone that suits your budget is a blissful experience. Nigeria offers a wide variety of phone models, including Infinix, iPhone, Samsung, Tecno, and Itel, among others. However, affordability and urgency often overshadow the importance of quality when it comes to choosing a phone brand.
Tecno mobile phones are one such brand that is targeted towards a specific audience, but they fail to cater to some vital essentials that every phone should possess. Here are five compelling reasons why you should consider saving up for a better phone model or switching to another brand entirely.
1. Lack of Creativity
Tecno mobile phones lack the creativity to come up with a unique phone model that is distinctive and peculiar to their brand. Instead, they often copy creative structures from other brands such as Samsung and iPhone, resulting in a ‘low-budget’ version of other phone brands.
2. No Software Updates
If you’re a Tecno mobile phone user, you may have noticed that the company does not provide software updates for their phones. Any updates made on a Tecno mobile phone are typically transferred to a newer model, leaving users of old models stuck with outdated software. This market strategy may draw more purchase of the newest model, but it does not consider buyers of older models.
3. Phone Lags
Tecno mobile phones are notorious for lagging, especially a year or two after purchase. It takes forever to load, boot or respond, sometimes causing a forced shutdown and irritation for the user. This lag is often not caused by the number of files stored on the phone but is simply a flaw in the phone brand.
4. Overheating Issues
Another common flaw in Tecno mobile phones is overheating, especially in the affordable models. Whether in usage or charging, the phone brand is well-equipped in overheating, leading to discomfort and potential damage to the phone.
5. Slow Charging
In contrast to iPhone and Samsung’s fast-charging capabilities, some models of Tecno mobile phones take forever to charge, overheat while charging, and quickly die after charging.
While Tecno mobile phones can be tiresome to use, not all models come with these flaws. If you’re an android fan, go for the high-end model and have fun! However, it is essential to consider the flaws before making a purchase decision.
