Very good info
For me when it come to affordability and easy after sales service, I’ll give it to Tecno.
Tecno camon 11 pro sure give better value for money. You can be rest assured.
Story! Tecno paid for this rubbish article. Instead of them to focus on perfecting their products to be on the same level as Huawei.
Oh please, the nova 3i is way better than that Tecno rubbish. I will rather spend my money on a quality phone and know it will last me for a long time unlike Tecno that will spoil after one year!
Pls there is no comparison here fellows nova 3i beat cammon whatever
Nova 3i is a great device and way better than Tecno Camon 11 Pro but what we are looking at here is which device gives value for money spent. Nova 3i 6GB/128GB cost almost twice the amount of the Tecno Camon 11 Pro with little to no difference in specifications.
Bro Nova 3i is 105k for 128 GB, not that expensive, I can’t waste my money on tecno despite the past issues with tecno, nova 3i has so many features not just the AI (artificial intelligence) embedded on the camera but also on it ANDROID AND EMUI VERSIONS, don’t forget that you can’t update your os with tecno, but with Huawei you can,
