Tecno W5 comes has a surprise just when we thought we had the DroiPad 10 Pro II to celebrate, the Chines company decided to take us unaware secretly introduced another device to its W series
The Tecno W5 is no doubt an upgrade to its predecessor ( tecno w4 ) that was released some months ago and of course was the first tecno smartphone to have come pre-installed out of box with Android 6.0 Marshmallow
Here’s what we know about the Tecno W5
Interestingly tecno w5 has taken the lead in the w series by becoming the first of the series to ever feature a fingerprint scanner, not alone does it sports a fingerprint sensor it also comes with a huge 3,000 mAh battery as well as a 4G Lte support
Tecno w5 runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow just like its predecessor, between we are in 2016 so shouldn’t be seeing much of Android 5.0 devices been launched
What else do we know about this device, well it might interest you to know that tecno w5 packs an impressive 5.5-inch display featuring a 13Mp rear camera and 5MP front-facing camera for selfie

What’s disappointing about the device??
Yes, we’ll point it out, trust us the tecno w5 would have been smartphone of the month from tecno mobile but we feel a bit disappointed with 1gb of ram on it
while this might not be such a turn off for others we do feel it ought to have be powered with 2GB of ram to give it more juice
However, on the other hand we might want to consider the W series to be one affordable series from the company line of smartphones, but then who knows Tecno W5 might just come with a pro version.
Another thing worth mentioning about Tecno w5 is the fact that it does not supports band 28 meaning you might not be able to enjoy your Glo 4G LTE Data on it, without any further ado lets take a quick look at w5 full spec
Price of Tecno w5 in Nigeria and Kenya
We would like to point out that tecno w5 is yet to be officially announced thus price as at the time of filing the report remains unknown, that being said we speculate the device should retail between #30,000 – #35,000
It is worth mentioning that specs quoted above for Tecno W5 is subject to change, however we’ll update you the moment tecno w5 is made public by tecno
The 4G internet will be amazing. A great deal at such a price.
You can say that again
For the target group(mostly those who don’t need much multitasking), the 1GB RAM isn’t meagre at all. For young and trendy folks like us who need lots of apps, we should be making our selection within the Camon and Phantom series which have massive RAM sizes.
You right bro, 1GB is a no no, but then not everyone use a smartphone the way we do, so we jst have to over look it ..lol
Though it’s a meager 1Ram the rest of the specs is good. Fingerprint scanner on a sub 40k phone is a unheard of.
