It's still bellow Huawei/Vivo/Oppo/Xiaomi in term of Software and Hardware.
But, it's good enough and stable.
And Transition is also a company that value progression. They invest in R&D to improve their product over time. Transition product is keep getting better and better.

Anonymous, 23 Nov 2024Xiaomi is simply the best xoxoI have a Poco F6 now. Not my first Poco phone. Had some other Xiaomi/Redmi models in past.
The only thing I find nice in Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco phones is the charging speed and good chipsets for relatively cheaper prices.
The software experience is usually average or below average.
This is just my opinion from personal experience.

Rbx, 23 Nov 2024They have objectively progressed a lot with an exceptional ... moreAs I said in my previous comments, there are More than Billion people in Africa, every year hundreds of Millions of phones are sold here, Statista put Active subscription this year around 500M units at sub Sahara Africa, whole Africa would be near 1B units. You think only 18M phones are sold here every 3 month? That's only official figures, no one smuggling Tecno phones in Africa, you find Iphones, Samsung, Sony, Oppo, Sharp Aquos etc
Most phones sold in Africa are refurbished phones originate from Dubai, Japanese, China, Korea and USA market. And they market them heavily with Government blessings,

It will now be very difficult for Samsung to dislodge Transsion Holdings from the top spot as the gap between the two is widening a little more each year. I would not even be surprised to see Xiaomi take second place in the medium term. These data prove even more than ever that the fringe ready to afford brand new high-end Samsung or Apple devices remains a minority on the African market, a trend reinforced by the adverse effects of galloping inflation. The entry-level and mid-range / "premium" mid-range segment remains and will remain dominant for years to come.

With the inflation effects and all the hardships of everyday life Transsion Holdings will remain african leader market for many years to come, the gap between them and Samsung is impressive and increasing every year, I won't be surprised to see Xiaomi toppling them from their second place in the near future. People who can afford fancy Samsung and Apple flagships remain a minority after all.

Example, Xiaomi, Realme, iQoo have a US$400-600 devices that have the best SOC such as Snapdragon 9400 & SD 8 Elite, why Samsung don't have this market segment?
Samsung A series also need a CPU that TWICE better than what they offering now.
Then....
FAST CHarginng....
Please samsung, it's almost 2025

In Nigeria, due to inflation, the price of Airpods can literally pay your house rent in a 1 Bedroom apartment for a year.
Literally.
