Kudos to the guys at Tecno Mobile HQ, while they have been busy with TecnoSpot, a user-centric community, they have quietly designed one of the most robust smartphones of 2016, the Boom J8 which is expected to become commercially available in April. The exclusive Tecno Boom J8 review on this blog really rates the smartphone high.
After coming under the hammer in the last few years, Tecno’s best year in Nigeria was in 2015 where they adopted a new mobile strategy that provides three exclusive line of smartphones that appeal to different set of users.
If you have the Boom J7, you might feel really disappointed because Tecno has pushed the Boom J8 to a point where you have no option than to purchase it.
Music lovers will instantly fall in love with the Tecno Boom J8, the company’s music phone that does everything right. I am not easily moved by OEM’s trying to shove their products to every user, but the Boom J8 is just in a league of its own. Infact, if you have the Boom J7, you might feel really disappointed because Tecno has pushed the Boom J8 to a point where you have no option than to purchase it.
Tecno is not only the undisputed King of the hottest smartphones in Nigeria, but has built its reputation for having the greatest budget-friendly super-high-end smartphone in the market. Say hello to the Tecno Phantom 5.
Tecno Boom J8 is not just an upgrade for the sake of incremental glory; it is the very definition of a mature product. The biggest talking point is that Tecno really listened to its users for the first time in their existence.
Gone are the days where companies dictate what users should have. Now, users have the power! They have guts to demand what they need; they have the liberty to request a feature knowing that it would be prioritized by the company.
No mobile company wants to end like BlackBerry, a company which once controlled 34% of the global smartphone market-share but now at the brink of extinction as their current market-share accounts for only 0.9%.
We are not known to hype smartphones unnecessarily. At the time when Tecno was dumping their down-market products in Nigeria, we were amongst the few that condemned it; we equally destroyed Yezz Mobile on this blog when they wanted to rip-off Nigerians. It’s glad to know that Yezz Mobile was dead on Arrival.
Our readers have equally expressed frustration with InnJoo products and we are looking at the report. Never again will Nigerians be subjected to systematic fraud by corporations bringing shovewares to Nigeria. If the Standard Organisation of Nigeria won’t do their job, we’d do our little to prevent users from falling victims of their manipulations.
Am I over-hyping the Tecno Boom J8? No I am not, I am simply saying you should be hyped by the smartphone because it’s the real deal. Tecno nailed this one! Take a chill pill and wait for our review. We will tear down this baby.

Tecno has been extremely silent on some Tecno Models receiving Marshmallow updates which was officially announced to be ready by February this year. I can’t wait to change from my Boom7 to a new model with Marshmallow. I guess the update is Long forgotten. Since Tecno is jumping out with a new model with Android 5.1. Lollipop? Like seriously.

I still don’t get the cause for this delay o but from what I read somewhere, There’s an update on TECNO Spot (bbs.tecno-mobile.com)

Silently waiting for the price. If they do a Phantom 5 with this one, I may not be able to afford it. Sorry in the range of 30k will do..
Kay
I’m having a very strong feeling that this device would retail for around 35k.
Nosagie Nosa-Ero
The smartphone is already been retailed for 41k at 3CHUB.
We are still not sure if that will be the official price. Let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Hi Nosa, I’ve been trying to get your contact email to share a tip I saw online, the new March security patch update for the Infinix Hot 2. The update fixes all the errors in the January & February Marshmallow update. I flashed it manually via SD Card, and I haven’t had any complaints since.
Got it on XDA, —-> http://forum.xda-developers.com/hot-2/general/ota-3-march-2016-t3332967

Regarding InnJoo, Nosa it’s high time they left!
To be honest, their products are very substandard. They may have good intentions, but I’m not just seeing it at all!
InnJoo should please leave the country. UAE is enough for them biko.
Nosagie Nosa-Ero
Hello Kay,
You raised solid points. Let’s hope we see an improvement with the InnJoo Three.
Enjoy the rest of the day

If this device retails for anything below 40k then it means TECNO just wants to dash it to us. I like how credit was given to their guys working behind the desk to make sure they give us the best. TECNO is working !
