There was so much hype in and outside the market over the release of Samsung galaxy S4 device this year, not because the phone was close to being one of the best or because it was just another smart phone; the hype was necessary, after all it was a new phone. Both those that can and cannot afford it were so much anticipated to hear the news of the release that they never cared much if there can/ was an alternative to buying something similar to that phone.
No doubts, Samsung is a brand almost everyone will love to associate with, because of their long time existence and the trust they have built in us; but when taken for granted, trust can be misplaced. Experience and existence wise, Tecno is nowhere near Samsung but that is no determinant for a good and affordable product. I know a good brand when I see one and I know a better brand when I see one also, irrespective of their duration in the market.
Apart from the price advantage Tecno Phantom A2 has over its counterpart, it is very similar in function, structure, design and so on. It is as if Samsung galaxy S4 is a prototype of Tecno Phantom A2. I have reviewed the features of both phones (if interested, you should too) and I came to a conclusion that it is a waste of money buying a Samsung galaxy S4 when a Tecno Phantom A2 is available with almost 95% the same features at a far cheaper price; and it seems Samsung is taking us for granted by hyping the price of their products so much.
It is as if we are being exploited here in Africa, this is the 21st century, smart phones are not what we think they used to be; they are just phones. Many will chase after this device and will later blame the government for their poor decision making skills. When it comes to things like this, an average Nigerian is quick to make judgment over the cheaper one terming it as fake without proper enquiry/researches.
You get to save over 60,000 Naira worth of cash if you purchase the Tecno device instead. The reason behind the demand of a particular good is best known to the buyer; your reason should be realistic though. With a Tecno Phantom A2 on the shelf, Samsung galaxy S4 is not worth that much even if it was made in space. Besides, you don’t need an economist to tell you it is economical to get a Tecno Phantom over a Samsung galaxy S4; if Tecno can make it affordable, Samsung can make it affordable. *No Beefs*
