  1. Highly unprofessional review. It wasn’t an experience based comparison rather just online bookish comparison….Wasted my time by reading this review

  2. Me I go for Tecno it’s the best phones and never disappoints you I had Tecno L 8 since 2017 and now I bought Tecno camon 15 premier and it’s the best so Tecno is number one.

  3. Me writer, u sound bias. As for me Tecno smartphones remains the best smartphone choice for me. Infinix phones are not reliable , talking from experience

  4. Absolutely right.In times later the infinix always hung and that’s the big problem of infinix

  5. Thanks for this review. I actually thought of getting a Tecno product but I think I will go for Infinix.

  6. Tecno’s choice for processors is laughable at best. No one should pay 15,000 or more for a phone that doesn’t feature high performance cores, heck my Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro from 2016 is more powerful than this thing. Can’t even compare with my redmi note 8, this is laughable at best. This thing will be obsolete in a year, but being a Tecno, there will probably be a canon 16, or 25? 55? 5000? Who even knows how they name their devices??!!, By June, with the same helio p22/p35 with 2015 performance to match.

  7. I’d rather wait for the Redmi note 9s I which I think should be cheaper than the Camon 15 premier or even buy the K20. Transsion were a great option before oppo, xiaomi and vivo came to the market. The Redmi note 8 and 8 pro offer better value to even the infinix note 7. Better software support and cameras

  8. Good but Transsion is known to making Tecno devices better than they do make Infinix and iTel devices.Infinix note 7 despite it having MTK hello G70 processor, it’s still a very unreliable device compared to Tecno.Infinix devices are known to freeze,hung and even die for no apparent reason.Thats why Infinix has lost it’s popularity in recent years.I think the different ODMs of the two devices are better than each other.
