The Tecno brand has stolen the hearts of many Ugandans, known for its classic cameras (that take sharp and highly contrasted images) plus batteries which last longer than your average Samsung battery.
Tecno phone series have come all the way from the H-series, K-series, L-series, Boom J-series, Spark, Camon, Phantom, Pop and the Pouvior. The Tecno prices in Uganda have always favored the mid-rangers, even with great specs and build quality. From one Tecno to the other, you can see that Tecno has populated the market with diversity from its different series, so there is a lot to choose from basing on what any user needs.
Tecno prices in Uganda for Brand new Tecno smart phones are usually between UGX 400,000 ($109) to UGX 700,000 ($190)
Ugandans in particular have lately appreciated more of the Spark, Camon and Pouviour due to the upgrades in software and hardware of the latest phones under these series – But other series have the specs you can work around with fast and easy.
From all these very many phone series Tecno has manufactured over time, it is quite hard to single out which the best or average phone is because all round Tecno has had a way to attract its users from one series to another. In this review, I am going to share the Top 10 Tecno phones you can still use in 2019 as we look forward to more robust technology from this Hong-Kong based company.
In case you are not a Tecno fan, follow our list of cheap smartphones and see what you can scoop from there.
