EDGE is already yesterday’s technology and even it is important to know the speed of 3G/WCDMA/UMTS/HSDPA in your area if you have one, because some are as bad as EDGE.

BlackBerry Z10 review

One cannot overstate the importance of this phone. This, the BlackBerry Z10, is the device upon which the fate of BlackBerry (formerly Research in Motion) hangs. That's not to say that the company will disappear if the Z10 -- and the BlackBerry 10 OS that it contains -- is not a mass-market success. But if this phone does not do its job of extending the reach of the 'Berry OS beyond those die-hard loyalists who have clung on to their Bolds and Torches and Storms, it's safe to say that BlackBerry is in for some very hard times.

The company hasn't exactly bet the proverbial farm on this BB10 release, but with massive financial losses tempered only by job cuts, plus an absolutely tectonic shift among the executive leadership and corporate culture architected by CEO and President Thorsten Heins, the phrase "make or break" feels pretty apt. So, then, is this the phone that's good enough to woo buyers away from the Galaxy S III or the iPhone 5 or any of the other delicious devices on the other platforms? The short answer is that no, as of now it isn't quite -- but of course it's a lot more complicated than that. Join us as we explore.

Tecno Phantom Pad Specs & Price - N9 Android Tablet

Tecno Phantom Pad (a.k.a Tecno N9) is an 8.0-inch Android tablet with fast processors and fast internet for your entertainment and communications. It is the first tablet from Tecno and looking at the price and specs of this device compared with that of competitors, it seems Tecno is leading the fight against the over-pricing of tablets in Nigeria.

8-inch Android Tablet

With Tecno now building 5-inchers, it was only a matter of time before they land a tablet, the Phantom Pad is that tablet and is more or less like an enlarged Tecno Phantom A+. It features a reasonable 1.2GHz quad-core processor, which on paper is more powerful that the dual-core processors on latest generation Samsung Galaxy Tab while still coming at up to 15,000 Naira cheaper, making it probably the best value tablet in Nigeria right now.

Tecno Phantom Pad runs Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), which should offer decent performance with 1GB RAM. You can make cellular calls and SMS on the Phantom Pad. The tablet also supports 2 SIMs, probably the first dual-SIM tablet we have published on this site.

The 8.0-inch display is bright and crisp with 768 x 1024 pixels resolution. The Tecno Phantom Pad features 2 cameras; a 5 megapixels camera with 720p HD video recording and flash at the back and 2 megapixels front facing camera for videocalling on Skype and similar services.

Tecno M7 Specs & - 5-inch Android

Looking for a low cost 5-incher? Consider the Tecno M7. It is an upgrade to the Tecno N7. The processor has been beefed-up and the RAM doubled. So, it should run smoothly on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean). Tecno M7 also features a better display and camera. All these improvements you get at the same price as the N7.


The Hardware & Software

Tecno M7 features a 1.3GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM, which should run Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) for a decent performance for browsing, gaming and apps.

Tecno M7 comes pre-loaded with Facebook, Opera Mini, Twitter with loads of Google Apps like GMail, Google+, Google Talk, YouTube and over 600,000 apps available for download at the Google Play Store.

Display & Camera

Tecno M7 spots a 5.0-inch touch display with a little more pixels added with 480 x 854 px resolution, which should make the M7's display slightly better than the N7.
