Tecno Mobile, Africa’s leading smartphone brand and maker of some celebrated flagships has once again been recognized for her stellar innovations and user-friendly products.
The awards – Popular Phone Brand of The Year and Smartphone of The Year (CAMON CX) handed at the Nigeria Tech Innovation and Telecoms Award will add to the list of awards and recognitions received by the brand this year. Speaking at the event, General Manager of Transsion, parent company of Tecno Mobile, Mr. Chidi Okonkwo stated “We commit our best resources to whatever we do and thus are always pleased when we get recognition like these because they prove to us that indeed consumers see, use and appreciate our works.”
Back in August at the same venue – Oriental Hotel, Lagos, Tecno Mobile carted away the prestigious Pan African Phone Brand of The Year award ahead of popular smartphone brands and a few weeks later, the brand has added two more feathers to its well-decorated hats.
Speaking of the brand’s dominance and successes, Mr. Chidi Okonkwo declared “Tecno Mobile is on a winning streak, not just in Nigeria but globally. Last year when we stepped into the international scene for the first time, many people questioned our tactics and critiqued our model but one year after, it has become even more evident that our ability to develop globally competitive products with deep local consumer insights is an essential ingredient in our dominance globally. “Our successes in the Middle-East have not only bettered our books, however, it has also made it possible for us to scale into new markets in Asia like India where we currently service smartphone consumers.”
As the saying goes, great people make great brands. Little wonder, Mr. Okonkwo claimed an award for his Outstanding Contribution and impact to the mobile technology space in Nigeria. Notable personalities present at the awards ceremony included Prof. Umar Garba Danbatta, Executive Vice Chairman and CEO, Nigeria Communications Commission (NCC), and Engineer Ernest Ndukwe – former Executive Vice Chairman and CEO of NCC.
Other winners of the night include Telecoms Wholesale Company of the Year – MainOne, CSR Initiative of the Year – Airtel Touching Lives and Customer Experience Award – MTN amongst others. Tecno Mobile is fast displacing other smartphone brands in Africa and it is just a matter of time before it makes its dominance global.
