Tecno releases the Tecno F6 – Their first mid-range device running Android Kitkat

Until recently, the Phantom Z was the only Tecno device running Kitkat — Android’s latest OS. A few days ago, Tecno finally released a mid-range device running Kitkat. It’s the Tecno F6. The device which is a follow up to the F5 (which received good reception from many users) seems to be an upgrade addressing issues that the F5 had. The Tecno F6 specifications include a 4.7′ HD IPS display, a quad-core processor, a 2000 mAh battery,  an 8MP camera, 1GB RAM and 16GB ROM.

Tecno has been releasing a deice almost every 2 months. As the first mid range device running Kitkat, the assumption is that all the devices from now on will run Kitkat and will also have updates to the latest Operating system. Tecno’s edge has remained quality devices at affordable prices and this has so far worked.

  1. but these specs are high end enuf. The iPhone 6 and iphone 6 plus both have an 8 MP camera. And also these mid-range phone has the same.. So why buy the iPhone?

  2. the box you display clearly says 4.7″ IPS touch screen. so why do you keep on saying 4.5 in your article starting from the table of comparison and in your specifications list? which is it?
