I Know tho, samsung, htc, and lenovo including many others, it really annoying seeing scrap for expensive price

Many people fancy Tecno sha. They think it's durable too.

Crap!!!!! ! Enjoying my Gionee m5 of 2015

i like gionee because the hardware of the phone are durable, in fact by far the most durable of all Chinese phone in Nigeria but they have two major problems with their phones and that is storage problem and long charging time. if not gionee can be compared to even Samsung

Deeni131:


...but someone told me that xioami redmi note3 is 60k. but u r saying 50k now. Whr can I get it at that price.

take a break first and go read up xiaomi at gsm arena before buying, comments are bad about the phone. you should rather buy gionee m5

No so the phone no on again o. U can imagine how I was feeling after spending #49900 on this Gold coloured device. I couldn't share with family or friends that the phone I spent approximately 50k on could not power on after about 11hrs of purchase. But then, thank God say I go school o. I reading the d warranty booklet which states that if the phone should develop any technical issues within 15 days, it will be replaced with another new device. Monday morning, I visited d carlcare centre at Ikeja. The babe attending to me told me to come back for my device in about a week after repair. I told her about d warranty issue, she asked where heard about that and I gave her d small white booklets. She took the phone and warranty booklet to her bosses and returned to my device. After Waiting for about an hour more, I was given a brand new Techno C9 device which is what am using to post on nairaland for the first time in over six years. Now, u can choose to c this post in a negative light, but I am very grateful to the Tecno team for this awesome device and keeping their word. This device in my opinion (of which I am entitled to) is a great device considering the low budget in comparison with other high end device.

Nice reviews and from those that have experienced the phone

iXavier:
Mediocre device
Not even 3GB RAM and you're calling it flagship
This is 2016 for God's sake

There are so many things not right with this device
Yet you're foreseeing a 60-70K pricing
And am here wondering who and why people should buy it.

What is mediocre about the device mister? This is nothing but prejudice becuse the price of the phone is even low when compared to the value

johnjameson:

Tecno flagship Camon C9 is a near perfect device in its category and Tecno has succeeded in raising the bar for other device manufactures in similar cadre to come out from their shell and produce device that can stand out like this.

The 5.5inches display with high resolution and 4G network Tecno Camon C9 device is packed; the rumours of the 13MP back camera and 13MP front camera all came out as earlier speculated.

Not only that, the 83 degree wide angle and 5P lens that is featured on Camon C9 selfie camera gives it the ability to reflect image true colours and allows it capture crystal clear pictures and also with a Lux natural front flashlight.

Tecno Camon C9 features an octa core processor and contrary to what many have been thinking that it will most likely follow the footstep of Tecno Camon C8 to launch with 1GB RAM, the RAM for Camon C9 is doubled i.e. 2GB RAM that will enhance multi-tasking without lagging of any form.

Now talk about this unprecedented feature in Tecno device, the Tecno Camon C9 is equipped with eye scanner a biometric iris recognition feature that quickly scan your iris to unlock the phone easily and securely.

It runs on out of the box Tecno’s HiOS V1.0 that is based on Google latest Android 6 Marshmallow and the back is packed with 3000mAh battery.

Tecno Camon C9 is launching alongside with Tecno revolutionary T-Band wearable device that can work remotely to monitor Camon C9 sleep patterns and steps and also alerts owners on calls and theft.

The phone sells for an average 49,900

Power banks are well overly rated!

Most do not function based on their declared capacity

You must be very funny. Xiaomi is better than Gionee.

Some times you don't have to take that opinion serious because competitors are also there to spoil market.

I ask you, have you used any Xiaomi phone before
