Since the emergence of the android operating system some
years back, the world smartphone market has taking a new dimension. One major
factor of this was the fact that the android operating was made a free
operating system. This has created a platform for most applications and game
developers to develop applications and games for the new operating system.
Android over the years has become the world most used operating system, beating
the likes of Java, Symbian and Windows operating systems.
Since 2008, that Tecno has taken it upon itself to make the
African market its major focus and most especially Nigeria. This has also made
the likes of Tecno which is majored on producing cheap phones to meet the part
of the labor market which are not ready to spend so much on buying phones the privilege
to develop smartphones which are competing with most of the world leading
phones such has the Samsung S3. My subsequent reviews are going to be on Tecno
smartphones starting from Tecno D3.
In this article, I shall provide a
detailed review and specification of Tecno D3 which is part of
Tecno mobile Android series, and all that a prospective buyer and user
must know about the smart phone.
Some few months have passed since
the first announcement of Tecno D3 but we found out that the phone still
make news among mobile users across Nigeria, China and the rest of the third
world market. I shall proceed to let you know more than the basics things you
must know about the Tecno D3 Android phone.
Design:
The Tecno D3 is solidly built with a design similar to the Tecno n3 and Tecno
T3 (Java). The rounded rectangular design will of course invite the
prospective buyer to want to explore the device.
The weight of the phone is
impressive; it’s not light and not too heavy. With such a weight (slightly
heavier than the n3), ironically one would readily expect Tecno D3 to be packed
with great features. It will be fair to state this early that Tecno D3.
Features: Tecno n3 is loaded with an Android OS! A high mark for that - phone comes with Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread., though you might think this is an old operating system, but for that price, I think it is great.
Memory:
160MB internal memory. That is not really much for those of us that use
a lot of space but for that amount it is quite reasonable.
The RAM of Tecno D3 is not
bad at all. I mean the RAM is excellent for the device.
512MB RAM is OK, isn’t it? The end user RAM is just about 428Mb. The main
problem is the internal memory.
Processor:
It has a mouth
watering 1ghz duo core processor.
Connectivity:!
What else should I say of an Android device called Tecno D3 that cannot boast
of at least a 3G connection when other devices are talking of 4G?! You
will certainly not thinking of streaming live videos or watching a steady YouTube video
with this device.
Battery life: The
1450mAH battery isn’t a great idea. In reality, the phone will last up
to 16 hours when mostly idle but only about 6 hours when in heavy usage. This
is not good! For those I know using the phone, they charge it a lot and some
have mobile chargers, probably its because they run a lot of applications on it.
Many other things can be said of
Tecno D3 but I leave you to study the full specifications yourself.
