Fact? Tecno Is Winning The Smartphone War In Nigeria

While Samsung has finally dethroned Nokia as the Word's largest phone vendor, it may have to engage in another battle for dominance in Nigeria; a country with the biggest Africa Smartphone market and powering millions of active mobile lines. BusinessNews places the figure at over 110 million active telecom subscribers.

Nokia had earlier locked that region with the company selling overpriced phones but once Samsung introduced the Galaxy series running on the Android platform, it wasn't too long before a steep shift in the direction of Android smartphones became obvious and a subsequent decline in the overall market share of Nokia.

The South Korean company has not only dominated the Smartphone market share in Nigeria but it's TV series has also sold like hot-cakes. Now, the success story of Galaxy series has come under heavy treat by Tecno; a Chinese company which has been doing alot of things right in the last few years. Tecno's new brand of smartphones have attracted a vast majority of Nigerian youths who are finding the phones much more affordable and having specifications similar to the Samsung Galaxy series. One major boost and what has swayed alot of Nigerians to the Tecno brands is that the smartphones being produced also runs on the Android platfrom.
