As an Infinix user here in Kenya, these phones are not only cheap..but reliable. I mean these phones are pretty good and offer phones for each price range

Africa countries deserve products tailored to their specific needs.

it's just not Africa only but in Indonesia, India, Malaysia and Philippines also love this brand.

China is the reason most Africans can afford a smartphone. The Itel, Infinix and Tecno brands offers smartphones that fits nearly everyone's economic situation in Africa.

Am currently using an infinix hot 40, just replaced a techno before this, these phones are awesome, am Nigerian by the way.

Infinix is hugely popular here in Indonesia, in fact most of their competition is from Tecno, which is dubbed king of low cost mobile game, its also force other brand like xiaomi to release more cheaper mid to low phone. all in all, transsion has got a very solid hold in Indonesia

Thanks for connecting Africa

Working in Algeria, the most popular phones are Chinese, Xiaomi, Oppo, , Realme and Redmi, also Infinix.

Transsion is also the #1 Smartphone maker in Pakistan🇵🇰 with its brands Infinix & Tecno & Itel selling like hot cakes in the sub $200 segment

Man I can’t even get a cell phone plan for 10 bucks

That's the phone I am currently using and it's been so good...camera quality is awesome,long lasting and durable...we love the phone and that's what my family uses...dual sim and very durable

These Chinese brands are also sold in Russia. they are usually bought by the elderly, because most people only need a phone for calls and one or two messengers. And parents buy them for children, because they don't need an expensive phone to be in touch with their parents

I hope they can market it here in poor Philippines. These phones look good at affordable prices. The features mentioned are also good for Philippines environments.

This makes sense why itel infinix and tecno are like using the same phone

Transsion should leapfrog its competitors by offering removable and replaceable batteries (as mandated by the EU) but still being affordable enough to entice customers to upgrade. Such adoption will make Transsion dominate the African, South American, and South & SouthEast Asian markets. More so if they can create affordable foldables.

Not only Africa, here in southeastasia, also in central asia and Latinamerica. that's why those regions, ppl can afford a phone.

TECNO brand is making a slow but steady name for itself in Europe as well. When you compare the prices and what the phones offer - not bad at all, if you need a budget but reliable smartphone.

I'm using Tecno Phantom X2 and it's really amazing! What more can I ask?

This is good,the Chinese are very innovative people

Interestingly enough, the CIS (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Belarus, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan) is also buying Transsion’s phones actively, as well as India and Bangladesh. A Chinese company that’s getting popular nearly anywhere… but China. How intriguing.

Tecno has become a mainstay in South Africa alongside other bigger Chinese brands like Huawei, Xiaomi and Oppo and they share the market quite well with Samsung and Apple.

Not only in Africa, but those brands are famous here in the Philippines. LAZADA and Shopee sold many Infinix, Techno, and Itel.

Techno and Infinix are catching up in India too. Since competition is tough with Moto E & G series, Samsung F & M series, Poco & Realme C series. They don't sell that much online, so they targetted offline market with better incentives for shop sellers.

The biggest consumer market often neglected by the big companies.

Here in India also They are Doing Fabulous Work Their Budget Phones are Again very Valuable to Indian Budget Consumers Especially Providing Hi-Res Audio Jack, Dedicated SD Card Slot, FM Radio, Front Facing Flashlight, IR Blaster These are the Important Features Removes by Big Western Tech Giants and the Solution is Sold Separately which makes us Pay more whereas Transson Phones Provide all of it in a Single Phone I Hope They'll never Remove this Important Features from their Phones and Provide Great Value as Ever❤

Transsion should consider bringing its cheap and affordable phones to America also. In America, there are budget stores with names like "99 Cents" and "Dollar Store." Transsion phones would revolutionize America too because not everyone in America is willing to spend on a similar technology phone by brand name companies charging 10X to 20X the costs of Transsion's phone.

China has the top place in the world's technology. Their inventions not only in cell phones but in the everyday items are amazing.

Good video. It's good to know that smart phones are spreading across the world.

They are also in Malaysia. I have a Infinix Hot 30

Africa is also big in digital transactions. You can transfer money just using your SIM card MMS without Internet which seems quite advanced since most Western countries don't seem to focus on it even though it's been there for over a decade

From south east Asia here those phone brands are really focused on budget gaming and 5G connectivity because mobile gaming is huge here.

Little known? Its known in the world biggest internal market, China, and if you sum up all the other HUGE markets its in, then its a world leader. The days of the US market being everything, long gone.

So long as they can keep adapting to the market’s needs, they will succeed. Also a 👍 for Steve Jobs for starting this evolution.

China's contribution to Africa is not appreciated well enough.

I have an iTel smartphone. and it's popular here in the Philippines. I could say their products are as competitive as it can be with other brands

There is no American or Korean phone brand that sells in Africa more than the Chinese phone brands ,China is literally everywhere in Africa ,from phones to cellphone towers

Samsung should focus on improving more on their budget devices like their Galaxy A series and sold it more on Africa and the countries that are on budget. That way, it will make Samsung more and more popular than ever.

it is same in South Asia market, they do need to improve on processor (for gamers), camera , video quality and upgrades options. having big battery is must for daily and gaming life.

What I find interesting is that they are also now offering some more high end stuff. Very intresting to see what they will do in the future.

I'm using an Infinix Zero X Neo for about 2 years now, along with a Redmi Note 8 Pro (my primary) and a Vivo X80. Back in August the speaker started to sound crackly and not long after, the fingerprint reader stopped working. The charger also isn't the best: it doesn't quick charge all the way to full like my Xiaomi charger does. Apart from this the SIM tray broke, grammar in XOS is sometimes funny (happens with Vivo too, to be fair), the camera isn't very good (though it's not the worst thing ever), the software has some niggles here and there, etc. The cleanup app is very good though, which I can't say for Xiaomi's fake-ish cleanup app. Infinix, Itel and Tecno are fine but it's like eating at a cheap buffet. That's not a bad thing, but just understand why they're cheaper. To be fair though, I like the Infinix more than the X80 which is far more expensive (though for other reasons). But Xiaomi remains my primary phone because it's just so easy to use. It's also the oldest of the three.

Most of us couldn't afford the high-end phone, china offered a solution to young Africans who wants to be socially connected.

I know Infinix and Tecno here in Brazil, the sales have started last year if I'm not mistaken.

Not just in Africa Infinix also quite big in Indonesia because its affordable. For entry level price Infinix offers a midrange phone experience. Only phones though, i wouldnt trust Infinix or others from Transsion if they make wearables like smartwatch

Techno is popular all around the World. Not just Africa.

Excellent! Maybe some will say the pledge to improve ball fields is a marketing gimmick, but it is a tangible improvement for communities. The market for low cost phones is huge, just think of Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya (someday). Delighted that many Africans can now enjoy being connected. It is time to bring equality & respect all around the world! Thank you!

In Indonesia, Transsion sold the phones into 3 different brands i.e. Infinix, Itel, and Techno which have become direct competitors for Redmi (sub-brand of Xiaomi) in entry to mid level phones.

Tecno spark 20 pro plus released early this year is everything you need. It's a budget phone providing all you will ever need from the phone.

My first phone, was Itel, then infinix and now Tecno😅😅

TECNO is quite a popular budget brand in South Africa. 😎🇿🇦🤲🏼🕋👍🏼

Transsion is really making a contribution not just in Africa but also in other asian countries such as Philippines like almost all people use Itel, Techno and Infinix, Transsion helped people with tight budget or people who are gamers that have not that much budget, im looking forward to purchasing an Infinix phone.

I'm currently using infinix zero 30 5g in India and it feels really good to use and the camera is also very good at the price point

As an Africa I've realized that Chinese cheap phones are way better than a cheap Top brand phones, trust me there is no need to spend alot of money for just a phone brand name. You can't campare a 2GB ram of Chinese phone vs Samsung 2GB ram, Chinese RAM are way better mark my words. I have used alot of phones in my life so I know what I'm talking about

One thing few people know, China has been building telecommunications in Africa, schools, low cost housing, roads and rails, commuter trains, etc, since 1990s.

the quality of the video is just amazing keep up the good work

Infinix and Tecno phones are sold in Malaysia at a very low price but they don't get OS updates.

Their phones (techno, infinix, itel, etc,) are okay but they are hugely underpowered and the worse is they come with lots of bloatware you can't uninstall. Lot's of ads. Very annoying. I no more buy their phones cus I'm willing to pay more for better. Edit: I should add that their main advantage is cheaper price, accessories and availability. The battery capacity is also larger in models. Everything else sucks compared to what you get when you pay more for say Vivo. Their specs is not sufficient in my opinion unless you haven't tried anything better.

Where do they sell this?

I'm happy to be heard of those Chinese brands that have good quality yet very attractive price. It's safe to say you don't really need to buy a flagship or even mid range smartphones any more.

Transsion phones are not just popular in Africa but also in Southeast Asian countries

Thanks to google for open sourced the android. No one thanks Google for their contribution 😅😅😅

I am from Russia, and this manufacturer has been selling these phones on our market for 3 years. Recently, my grandfather turned 75, and I gave him a tecno that cost me $ 50 at a discount, he was very pleased, and even I liked it, I did not expect that it would work so well for such a price. I use the iPhone 15 myself, but it's so terrible that I ordered a xiaomi 14 yesterday. With love from Russia to Chinese brothers

There's a lot of Transsion Group's phone user here in Indonesia

transsion is also well known in the philippines and other south east asian countries

ARE YOU SERIOUS?? WOW 😂😂

Great documentary, these suit the African market

We also have that brands in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, especially Tecno.

TECNO and Infinix brand are also big name here in Thailnd's entry to mid range smartphone market.

A 10$ smartphone. TEN. US DOLLAR. SMARTPHONE. Doesn't even come close to the price of some phone cases for the 1,000$ premium smartphones in other markets. The Chinese (companies) are really helping out Africa, and I totally support that. They say Africa is the "forgotten continent", but clearly for China, it is not. Edit: Apparently, the 10$ is NOT a smartphone. My bad.

Tecno 19 here....😂😂

i also use tecno here in my country..because it is affordable and reliable in terms of daily use ..

Just as a little fact, these (Tecno and Infinix) are selling VERY well for the last year or so in south america too.

Talking with US people they call them "shithole" countries, thats why chinese businesses are successful there - watching, understand and beeing respectful to those customers.

Xiaomi is better

woah, this is indeed my first time hearing of this brand, smart move, adapting to the needs, population and environment, especially the battery capacity and signal boosting, something often taken for granted and only available in pricey customized phones meant for outdoors.

I immediately knew it would've Tecno and infinix didn't know there was a third though. Honestly the Tecno phantom is the most beautiful foldable I've seen with a really good price too. It's surprising the useful things you can learn each day.

Because they are poor simple answer

Infinix user here (Infinix note12 g96) in Philippines and i must say for a budget mid range phone its actually durable and powerful i also got updates btw but idk how long probably 1 more update but regardless I'm Android user and updates hasn't been my problem really i can get by without any updates and still use my phone for 4-6yrs more!

Got myself a Tecno Pova 5 P 5 Pro not so long ago. Hella cheap and I must say that I love it. I didn't expect to see Tecno as being owned by Transsion, it caught me by surprise.

Africa? Its gaining popularity in India and Nepal and most of the SAARC countries. In Nepal, people love this brand. But only downside of these smartphones is software support.

Those 3 brands are quiet popular too in indonesia, especially infinix

First time hearing about it, I’m glad for what they are doing. Nice video bro

subbed ! thank you

Tecno,itel,infinix(transition) are soo much here in nigeria and it AD that i use to have a sense that it produced in africa

Tecno and Infinix are very affordable and build quality has improved over the years

Im from PH and i got itel p55 5g phone, i can tell you that this phone is cheaper than the other brands but theres a lack of screen calibration when touch slowly it breaks. .not good for gaming. .i hope on the next update it can be fixed. .😅😅

They can be pretty or mega slow depending on the model. Especially the go editions

And everybody here thinking Infinix, Tecno and iTel weere from different companies. Big Up to Transsion

Using Tecno pova 4 for almost a year now. So far, i dont have a single complaint at all about my phone.

0:18 Just like Lexus -- the luxury brand of the Japanese carmaker Toyota -- that began in the US in 1989 but was NOT available in native Japan until 2005

As a Zimbabwean I totally understand. Majority of people don't have money to buy flagship phones tailored mostly for the west and even if they have the money people are reluctant to buy something they don't need. People here just buy the basics and this is what Transsion brings with iTel, Tecno and Infinix

i hope transsion start to focus on software reliability and update, decent software will make them more appealing

In the Philippines Transsion is the no. 1 followed by Realme oppo and vivo

Excellent video Yang.

This brand also very popular in Malaysia and Indonesia market

This brands are in indja as well selling almost flagship smartphone in cheaper price

Does it have QQ Tencent app pre-installed ?

These also sell like hot cake here in Latinamerica lol and we also have versions tailored for this region. They're good, reliable, and most importantly, they're affordable. We have 3 Tecno Mobile phones in my familiy lmao and know many people who own Infinix phones as well.

My first phone was InFocus M2 My current phone is Infinix GT 10 Pro

Infinix hdt 30 is selling around usd 80 in indonesia
