Tecno Marketing Manager Exclusive Interview-KOLA By Wanjiku Thuku
What is your name and what is your role in Tecno Kenya Company? My name is KOLA,Im in charge of Tecno Marketing in Kenya. Tell me abit about your Tecno products and their features? We have four different nice products in Tecno-first one is the phantom x in the phantom series, the Camon series, the spark series, and the pro series. So, for all the product 9 we are in to provide our users like give a good experience in case of the speed,power,I mean the battery.So,in terms of the battery for tecno phones mostly comes with 4000moh for the battery, so it gives you full day battery life no matter if you're a heavy hefty user, or typing on your phone on all other days and if you are just like a moderate user at least it will give you two days battery, so you don’t have to worry about the battery life, you don’t have to carry a power bank with you. And then again, most of the tecno phones come with a fast charger which gives you full charge of within one hour, sometimes within half an hour, which gives you 40 minutes for your phone to be fully charged. So, if you are in kind of a rush to go out especially when your battery is not fully charged, just do not worry, have a cup of coffee then put the phone on charge, then you do not have to worry about the battery when you go out. Kindly speak about the RAM and the ROM and the gaming experience. Because I heard the manager speak about those games. How is it able to hold those games? For the phone to hold those games, it must come with an exceptionally large RAM for you to run the App at at least 4GB and get a 128 GB ROM for you to install the game, to store all your needs, the caches nowadays the tecno phones mostly come with an expanded RAM like for Spark series, the RAM can be larger as compared to what we have which gives the best gaming experience.
And then come to the Camon series, mostly which comes with 4GB/6GB RAM or any GB RAM which gives a smoother gaming experience. And apart from the RAM and the next part will be the processor, theme processor like for Camon 19 comes with the flagship gaming processor which is G19-6, and for Spark series it comes with G-85 still G for game, so it is a game processor. Another part is the photo screen, a large screen and high flash rates,90Hz or 128Hz screen, which gives you smooth, it is like your eyes cannot feel anything on the screen. Does the spark have a graphics card as well? The mobile phone, there is no dedicated graphics card automatically it is in the processor. Nowadays I have not noticed any phone with a graphics card, mobile phone. What else would you like to say about this phone that stands out from other tecno phones? So far, I would like to say the camera, it is quite good, and for tecno we have had it in the African markets for many years who understands how the camera works better, for the cache screen to catch their details. What else can you say about the camera in terms of pixels for the front and back camera? OfCourse the MP(Megapixel) is important, but it is not only about the MP like for Camon 19 at 64 Megapixels camera and again the color or the color camera again the color or rather than color camera comes in RGB-which is Red,green,green, and blue for Camon 19, as the first 64 MP camera with RGB Tablet or white. So, the white is what will give the particularly good picture quality in low light situation. So that is why the Camon 19 weighs that out from the low light sense compared to the other competitors and other brands. How powerful is this phone to execute multimedia files sending? If it is only talking about how strong it is, you would have to test the phone to check how strong it is, even compared to the other competitors, so if you go for the Camon series, it will give you exactly what you want that is the battery, the camera and the processor, the speed. How many years is the warranty for all the phones? These phones like the Camon 19 are 25 months, because now with the Camon 19 we give 12 months extended warranty. How much are all these phones especially the Camon 19 in the market? Camon 19 is 24,999 and the spark 9 starts from 14k or 15,599kshs .I think it is 15,000kshs. Any last words to your tecno followers and subscribers? We would like tecno to know that we really care about our fans, our users, not only for this time, but we also started from two years back, we work with our fans, we have started our project called ‘urban test', in Africa it means before the phone goes to the market, we will withdraw some fans to join us to test the phone in software and hardware. So, they will share their feedback with us on how they feel about the phone and their suggestion. Then we give the feedback to our research and design team due to working together with our fans.
Bonus Question: How do you handle the issue with malware on all these tecno devices? This affects all users a lot especially android users who struggle with such issues. But for Tecno we have the phone master, it is an inbuilt app in our phones and works like an antivirus it also helps the customer to clean the cache and operating system which is not useful. Give tecno a chance for any of our Camon series, phantom series, spark series and see what we are all about.
