Where can I get camon c8 in Kumasi – Ghana
Can i get C8 as an xmas gift?
Maybe I’ll get the C8 for my lil sis. That one just likes taking selfies anyhow.
hahahaa.. lol
C8. That battery is enough to convince me
The C8 has a better camera so that’s what I am going for.
I bought my techno C5s last year on October but now when I charge it does not but it shows that its charging but its not am worried what will I do?
Mr Sam Afolabi , please advise, which among C5 & C8 do I need for high speed browsing and down loading, I just bought DroiPad 7 but it’s almost useless and frustrating browsing and down loading wise. However, your advice shouldn’t be restricted to both devices if there is a better one out there. Thanks
If you are the downloading type, then C5 is for you. It comes with 4G network which should read up to 150MBPS in a place where there is good network.
what about C8 for downloading…..? kindly advice!
C8 is not bad for downloading either, it support 3G network option for downloading
The C5 is very okay for me. I’m not really a camera person
I bought d c8 yesterday but I notice it doesn’t sound if I power it ON i’m worrit. I dnt no if it is fake
can I use c 8 for WiFi direct?
I jst bougt c5 TECNO-C5 frm 3c hup ikeja office last week saturday 5/12/2015 plz anything to change it to c8 and had d balance to it jst becox of d bigger screen
Hi Faith,
If the phone and the pack is still intact, take it to the place and confirm if they can do that for you
How much is c8
I like the C8 but Tecno should have made it 2Gb RAM. It will have been perfect for me. Still looking forward for their 2Gb RAM Phone with C8 spec.
