While it is true that most of the big brands are in our market, not all mobile phone manufacturers are in Europe. There are many Chinese phone brands but the ones that are really worth it have been here for years. Maybe not all.

best example we have techno mobileA manufacturer that we had the opportunity to get to know in-depth during the 2023 Mobile World Congress and confirm the idea we have about it.

Although they are not in Europe, they are not a new or unknown brand. The proof of this is that they have a complete catalog of devices, from Android phones to computers or modems. just presented fold.

These cell phones aim high

Tecno Phantom V Fold comes with 120 Hz and a 7.85 inch foldable OLED panel. Inside is the Mediatek Dimensity 9000+, one of the best in the house, manufactured at 4 nanometers. After testing it, it leaves us alone. feeling that there is clearly room for improvement, but even the bigger manufacturers haven’t reached where Tecno has yet.

At the software level, we find some additions from the house, but overall it looks flashy. It has a design that is relatively close to Google’s Android and has all its services.

Something similar happens with other more traditional cell phones. We find everything from the Camon Pro series with rear designs in various styles, to the Phantom series in which the Phantom X2 Pro stands out, to a smartphone with a retractable camera, a 5,160 mAh and 6.8″ AMOLED panel.

The feel in the hands of these models, Really good. It is not surprising that these models are options to consider due to their quality/price in the markets where they are available.

But there is also room for innovation. These days, they have presented the ‘Chameleon Color Changing’ technology that will allow. control the color of the mobile phone with an application.

In the image above we see the mobile phone Camon 19 Pro, whose polychromatic material can change its hue depending on the received light. Unfortunately we couldn’t test it. The mobile has been there to tamper with, but not yet when it comes to color technology. Still, it’s certainly interesting when a brand offers an innovation that’s different from the others.

At the software level, the Android operating system HiOSalready in version 12. Beyond that, there are also Windows laptops.

Tecno is well known outside of Europe

Tecno Mobile is a Chinese brand based in Shenzhen. He was born in 2006, but it was from 2016 that he made a huge splash. Like? Seize markets such as Africa, India or Latin America.

The name shouldn’t surprise us, as it ranks among the world’s top 10 manufacturers with over 130 million devices and 70 countries, according to Counterpoint. . Thanks to the “i series” being very popular in India and having a share of more than 40% in Africa.

According to the data the brand shared with us, they grew 556% in Latin America, 43% in Africa and 55% in India in 2021. It’s still a small producer, but at Tecno they are very happy with their form.

When asked when Tecno will arrive in Europe, they smile but disapprove. They are already found in Eastern Europe, but They do not dare to guarantee that they will be in Europe next year.. “We’ll see,” says a Tecno spokesperson.

However, Tecno has a media presence in Europe, especially in the UK. They have been sponsors of the Manchester City football team since 2016 and have renewed their commitment after winning the Premier League title in 2019.

George Zhu is the founder and chairman of the company. Transition, the group behind this brand It includes others like Itel or Infinix. Prior to creating Tecno, Zhu worked as an executive at Rockwell.

During this MWC they showed us why they are one of the brands to follow in the future. After conquering emerging markets, it’s time to look West. We think there’s little room for a new Android maker, but their massive international success could bolster them. What’s showing right now at the big mobile tech expo is convincing enough.
