Launched in 2016 as an entry-level phone, Tecno W3 is the third smartphone built by the Tecno company to come with the Android 6.0 operating system. Also the most reasonably priced in the lineup, Tecno W3 features among other things, a 2500 mAh battery and a 5-inch Display.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tecno became popular in Nigeria because of its affordability. Even as it keeps going forward to produce very expensive ones, it keeps coming back to make affordable ones. That is it with the Tecno W3.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t expect much from the phone before going through it most especially because of its price and the fact that there are so many phones out there that came with many promises only to fail. I wasn\u2019t disappointed even though I would have asked for a little more, but again with the price how can one ever ask for more with all you get here.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s have a look at it from a better perspective.<\/p>\n

Build and quality of the Tecno W3<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While not unique in design, the phone is significantly improved from what you get with the previous phones in this line. With the way Techno had been releasing phones before this, I actually thought that the design of this would be a flop, but it wasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Furnished with an FWVGA Touchscreen 5.0 display and a resolution of 854 X 480, it is not one of the biggest and it should fit your hand rightly.<\/p>\n

The buttons are well placed on the sides and it comes with a 3.5mm Audio jack for your earphones.<\/p>\n

The phone accepts 2 micro sim cards and for the network connectivity, it supports 2G, 3G, and 3.7G networks.<\/p>\n

Sound Quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I give it a pass mark when it comes to the audio quality. It is obvious that phone speakers right now do not come as noisy as they used to, so naturally, no one should expect that this should be that way.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the sound is generously loud in a decent way. The thing though, is that you shouldn\u2019t expect that it will come good enough for outdoor use. If you want to use it for that, you will still get something that is quite better than many others.<\/p>\n

More so, whether you are using a headphone or the phone loudspeaker, there is decency in the audio quality.

Camera<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You will not find a million things to say about the phone camera as it only offers what most others offer. Hence if you need a camera-centric phone, you may as well not go for this because even the W4 comes with a much better camera. The only thing, however, is that it doesn\u2019t come as cheap as this.<\/p>\n

In specifications, the phone has both front and back cameras. While the front has the 2MP you get with many others, the front comes with 5 MP which is nothing to snap home about. Also, it is decorated with\u00a0Autofocus and a dual LED Flash and the back camera also has a flashlight.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Memory and Storage<\/strong><\/h2>\n

8GB internal storage is what the phone offers. For me, that is not as impressive as it can be, as some in its line including the Tecno W4<\/a> come with higher storage capabilities.<\/p>\n

If you need more than the 8GB that comes with the phone, you can decide to have it expanded using the Micro SD that is built to take up a card of up to 32GB. 40GB storage in total is what the phone can take, and I believe this should be good enough for the phone.<\/p>\n

Also, for the RAM you get a 1GB piece. For the phone, there is no reason to believe that 1GB is not good enough to go. Hence, you should be able to enjoy a\u00a0good ride even when you have your storage almost completely filled
\n
<\/a><\/p>\n

Processor and Software<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Techno W3 is powered by a 1.GHz Quad-core MediaTek processor which serves very well in processing speed most especially if you consider the 1GB RAM.<\/p>\n

For the operating system, Techno made use of the Android 6.0 Marshmallow with HiOS interface. Personally, that is one thing that I love most about the phone; the interface.<\/p>\n

More so, it comes with a very important manager that helps you achieve a lot of things including data and app management.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Battery<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Looking at the battery, the phone is kitted with a 2500 mAh battery. Let\u2019s face it, looking at the size of the battery, it is not the best since there are some that even go as high as 6000 mAh. Nevertheless, because of the size of the phone and its functionality, the battery is rather right on point.<\/p>\n

For someone who is not a heavy user, this phone will be able to serve you for more than 30 hours. This is even as the phone\u2019s talk time is placed by its manufacturers at 25 hours. On standby, Tecno said it will give you up to 312 of battery life if you are running on standby mode.<\/p>\n

Between 2hrs 30 mins and 3 hours is all you need to have the battery fully charged.
