Tecno W5 Lite Full Specifications and Price.

Tecno W5 Lite Full Specifications and Price 

Hi guys,  today's post is as the header says, about the Tecno W5 Lite, Tecno actually launched the W5 earlier. Recently smartphone brands are known to launch devices with a little upgrade form the immediate predecessor like the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 plus  the Gionee M6 and M6 plus , some others go for a little "downgrade" if you like to call it that. Where the device has less features or some missing features that comes with the predecessor, in the case of an upgrade it's called 'plus', but in a downgrade 'mini' or Lite as in the case of the Tecno W5 Lite. 

So we expect a little lesser from the Tecno W5 Lite. The key features that makes this tecno device a Lite version are these ;

1. The 4G LTE in the W5 is absent. 
2. Finger print sensor was removed. 
3. Secondary camera was dropped from 5MP to 2MP. That's basically all.

Samsung galaxy note 7 exploding.

Reports from the US and South Korea had it that the Samsung galaxy note 7 battery was exploding during charging or after, these reports lead to some information that samsung would be stopping shipments of the galaxy note 7, as a result of the reports on the galaxy note 7's explording while charging.

Samsung said for customers who had gotten the galaxy note 7, would still be able to swap it for a new one.

Samsung had already sold alot of units of the smartphone 2.5 million units infact.

President of samsung's mobile business Koh Dong-jin told reporters "There was a tiny problem in the manufacturing process, so it was very difficult to figure out''.It was confirmed that some 35 samsung galaxy note7 devices had this particular problem,this has resulted in a complete world recall of the devices so this issue would be fixed.

 Although it seems that users could solve the problem by just replacing the battery of samsung galaxy note 7. The Tech giants actually stated that this battery exploding only affects roughly 0.1% of the samsung note 7 users.

learn how to charge you smartphone the right way

This development had many samsung lovers hold off on go out and picking up their own galaxy note 7, even those that are not full samsung loyalist are not instead preparing for the much awaited lauch of Apple's iPhone 7 expected in a matter of days now.

 This is quite unforunate for Samsung, because with this news of the battery problem, even if it does not affect a very good number of the devices.

Truth be told, Samsung has been excellent the way this whole issue was handled, by putting a recall on time. This is coming up just when samsung's biggest competition is about to drop its

much awaited device. I personally hope this doesn't affect the sales of the Samsung Gear S3 smartwatch.

This is the view of BBC's Zoe Kleinman, BBC technology reporter

"This is an extraordinary decision for a tech giant to make based on so few reported incidents - Samsung says it is aware of only 35 cases worldwide.

It's bad timing so soon after a big product launch and especially given that Samsung's rival Apple is understood to be preparing to unveil a new iPhone.

However, the firm says it has discovered a problem with the battery cell and is halting sales while it inspects its suppliers.

People who have already bought the device - which is only available to pre-order in the UK - will be issued with a replacement.

Stories about exploding smartphone batteries do make the news from time to time - lithium ion batteries are flammable but very widely used."

Concluding, this is was a honest mistake by Samsung happening to a very few number of devices, that not withstanding very dangerous. If this influences your decision on getting yourself the galaxy note 7, you would never blamed. Although this issue is not common it should be taking seriously. Samsung has started investigations and taken apporatate actions.
