  • Unboxing: TECNO Spark 5 — A pack of Beauty, Comfort & Status

    Unboxing: TECNO Spark 5 — A pack of Beauty, Comfort & Status

    The TECNO Spark 5 is a beautiful device from TECNO Ghana and it’s impressive both to hold, marvel at and to use.

    We recently unboxed the device and we will like to share the photos from the unboxing as well as thoughts on the device.

    First, let’s look at the specs of the Spark 5.

    • Display: 6.6″ Dot-In Screen
    • Front Camera: 8MP Front Camera with Dual Flash
    • Rear Camera: 4 Camera Setup – Depth lens + 13MP Primary Camera with F/1.8 aperture + Macro lens + AI lens
    • OS: Android™ 10 with HiOS 6
    • Network 4G LTE/3G/2G
    • Storage: 32 GB
    • RAM: 2 GB
    • Processor: Mediatek Helio A22 MT6761
    • Battery: 5000mAh
    • Card Slots: 2 nano sim cards + 1 micro SD (up to 128GB)
    • Other Features: Compass, Fingerprint Sensor, GPS, Proximity, Touchscreen, WiFi, Face Unlock 2.0
    • Colours: Ice Jadeite, Spark Orange, Vacation Blue and Misty Grey

    Now to the unboxing.

    When you get the TECNO Spark 5, you are greeted with this very nice packaging. The packaging colours speaks to the impressive nature of the device, which we will see later on.

    Wow before we look at individual components, let’s talk about everything in the box once you bring the components out.

    Inside the box of the TECNO Spark 5, you get:

    • The TECNO Spark 5 Phone
    • A 13 month warrancy Card
    • A beautifully designed Silicon case
    • A rectangular head sim ejector
    • A Power Adaptar
    • A micro USB cable and
    • A 3.5mm earpiece

    Our review copy from TECNO Ghana was in the Ice Jadeite colour, as you can see above.

    The Device itself has a premium touch to it. The gradient colour makes it instantly recognisable and the vertically aligned quad-camera setup is appealing.

    And about that fingerprint sensor, I love that it is at the rear. That way, by the time you get the device off the table or from your pocket, it is already unlocked.

    At the bottom of the phone, there is the speaker grille, the USB port, the microphone and the much loved 3.5mm headphone jack. You don’t have to spend more for wireless accessories.

    One of the things I love about the Spark 5’s design can be seen at the right side of the phone. Just below the volume buttons is the power button which has a distinctively orange colour.

    I would like to highlight on the silicon case a bit. It has a very distinctive design pattern, that gives the device a very “tech feel”. Oh yeah, TECNO.

    Holding the Spark 5 felt natural. It was easy to hold and use the device in one hand. The power button and the volume keys were also very reachable.

    If you are looking at getting a new phone or upgrading your older model device, the TECNO Spark 5 is just what you need to consider.

    Spark 5 is selling at GHS 719 at all TECNO accredited merchants.

    NASCO Candy 7 Kids Tablet: Price, Specs, Features & Best Deals

    If you are looking for the perfect gadget for your children during this lockdown and yet don’t want to spend too much, then the NASCO Candy 7 Kids Tablet might just be for you.

    Almost all children across the country are still at home, with the Government saying that all schools should be closed down.

    Kids, however, will have to continue studying. And what better way, than to introduce your children to technology that is safe at a young age?

    NASCO has brought the Candy 7 kids tablet for all parents to give to their kids (so they can finally let go off the parents’ phones).

    NASCO Candy 7 Kids Tablet Specs

    • Display: 7″ (17.78cm) IPS Screen
    • Front Camera: 0.3MP
    • Rear Camera: 2MP
    • OS: Android™ Android 6 Marshmallow
    • Storage: 16GB/32GB
    • RAM: 1GB
    • Processor: 1.3 GHz Quad core (Cortex-A7 ARM)
    • Battery: 2300mAh
    • Other Features: G Sensor / Parental Control
    • Colours: White, Black, Blue 

    Features of the NASCO Candy 7 Kids Tablet

    It is important to know that this tablet was made for kids.

    The first feature I will like to talk about is the Parental Guidance feature on the tablet. This means that parents can restrict what their kids can watch and do on the tablet.

    The internet can be a dangerous place for children, so the parental guidance feature makes a lot of sense. For all parents looking to buy internet accessible gadgets for your children, find out first if the gadgets have parental guidance.

    Also, there is the 7-inch display on the device. This means the kids can enjoy a bigger, better experience when gaming on the Nasco Candy 7.

    Also, watching videos or surfing the net with the tablet is probably the best experience you can settle for at it’s price range.

    The tablet also comes with the old Android OS 6.0 Marshmallow. Although OS does not give total protection of your device (in relation to newer Android versions), it is enough for what the device is made for – entertainment and education for kids.

    TECNO Spark 5 Air (2020): Price, Specs, Features & Best Deals

    It has not been a week since the TECNO Spark 5 was unveiled in African Markets (Ghana, Nigeria & Kenya) and it seems there is a quick follow up with a more budget friendly device – the TECNO Spark 5 Air.

    If you are really interested in the Spark 5 but can not afford it or you are just a little short of cash, the the Spark 5 Air makes sense as it gives you savings, the equivalent of about $6.

    It is not surprising that the cost savings is that low. This is because, the Spark 5 has strengths of it’s own, notable among them being a bigger screen than the earlier released TECNO Spark 5.

    https://mfidie.com/tecno-spark-5-2020/

    Let’s delve into the TECNO Spark 5 Air.

    Features of the TECNO Spark 5 Air

    Most of the features of the TECNO Spark 5 Air are just similar to those of the Spark 5, which we have discusses here – TECNO Spark 5 Features.

    However, what differentiates the Spark 5 from this Spark 5 Air is the implementation of Android Go and a much bigger scree.

    Android Go means that the Spark 5 Air will likely be faster, and utilise the RAM on board, although the chipset is yet to be disclosed.

    With a bigger screen of about 0.4 inches more than the Spark 5, the Spark 5 Air should also be the better option if you are all into consuming multimedia content on your device.

  • How to get Vodafone 4G Service & Settings in Ghana

    How to get Vodafone 4G Service & Settings in Ghana

    Vodafone Ghana will began rolling out its 4G services to the general public in Ghana from 19th March 2019.

    Vodafone Ghana got the 4G licence from the National Communications Authority (NCA), at the end of 2018. The NCA gave the telecom company one slot of the 2x5MHz frequency spectrum in the 800MHz band for mobile services.

    The rollout of Vodafone’s 4G service was supposed to start somewhere in the second quarter of this year. However, it seems to have come a little bit earlier than that.

    Vodafone will now become the second telecom operator in Ghana to run the 4G network, rivals MTN Ghana.

    How to check if your phone and sim card support Vodafone 4G

    To check if you can enjoy Vodafone Ghana’s 4G service:

    1. Dial *700# on your Vodafone handset
    2. Select option 6 (Check 4G Status)
    3. Select option 1 (Check 4G Phone or SIM Readiness)
    4. You will receive a prompt that gives you the status of your phone and SIM Card

    Alternatively, you can just dial *700*6*1# and you will instantly receive the prompt to know your status.

    Meaning of Results and how to get Vodafone 4G

    If the result of the *700*6*1# check says that your phone and SIM are both 4G ready, then you don’t have to worry. You can start enjoying Vodafone Ghana’s 4G right away.

    However, if it says your SIM is 4G ready, but your phone is not, this is because your phone does not support 4G or LTE services. You will have to get a new phone.

    If the results indicate that your SIM is not 4G ready, you can visit any of Vodafone Ghana’s shop and have a 4G SIM.

    Vodafone 4G is here

    This initial deployment of Vodafone Ghana’s 4G is happening in major cities in the country. Already, Vodafone Ghana has more than 200 sites, where customers can access the 4G service all across the country.

    What do you think about the 4G service?

    Infinix Note 7 (2020): Price, Specs, Features, Where to Buy & Best Deals

    Infinix Mobility is back with another new product in their line of Note Series – The Infinix Note 7. This new device is here to replace the Infinix Note 6, which was released last year in only select markets.

    Another interesting thing Infinix has done on the Note 7 is that they put the fingerprint scanner over on the side. This, with the face unlock of the device ensures that it unlocks very fast.

    There is a 5,000 milliamp hour battery to power all of the features of the phone.

    You also get a hole-punch cutout up in the top left corner. This implementation of the camera is one of the least distracting implementation you’ll see on a device because you can still watch a video and not feel like the camera is in the way.

    • 1 User Guide
    • 1 Customer Experience Card
    • 1 Warranty Card
    • 1 Translucent Case
    • 1 Sim Ejector

    Features of the Infinix Note 7

    Android 10 Experience with Gesture Controls

    The Note 7 from Infinix comes loaded with the latest version of Google’s Android Operating System – Android 10.

    This enables the phone to take advantage of the many refinements that Android 10 presents. The Note 7 has a dark mode system UI and gesture navigation.

    Dark mode enables you to change the UI elements of your phone as well as supported apps to a dark interface. This enables you to save battery and also makes it easier to watch your display for longer.

    Gesture control on the other hand makes navigating your phone, apps and functions very easy. With very simple navigations, you can suspend apps, move between apps and go back to a previous state or even go straight to the homescreen.

    Superior Camera experience for Photos and Videos

    The main camera on the Infinix Note 7 features a 48MP ultra-high resolution lens. This means you get to take higher resolution photos so that you don’t miss the details.

    With Infinix’s advanced AI Image Stabilisation, there is the promise of Night mode images that are blur-free even in very low light.

    There is also a depth camera with an aperture of f/2.4 so that portraits get that blurred effect at every photo click.

    When it comes to videos, you can shoot good quality at 1080p even without the use of flash.

    Longer Battery and Faster Charging

    A 5000 mAh battery powers up the Infinix Note 7. The device also features support for 18W fast charging.

    What’s yet disappointing is that there is no USB-C port so you are stuck with the old school micro usb charging port.

  • TECNO Spark 5 (2020): Price, Specs, Features & Best Deals

    TECNO Spark 5 (2020): Price, Specs, Features & Best Deals

    Tecno Mobile seems to be on a roll with the release of new phones, even during the pandemic, the latest of which is the new TECNO Spark 5.

    The predecessor to the new TECNO Spark 5, was released just in September of 2019 on the Ghanaian, Nigerian and other African markets. However, it seems TECNO Mobile is ready to ride on the success of the Spark 4, coupled with some reported shortages to bring in the Spark 5; albeit a good move.

    This phone comes with a total of 6 flashlights for photography, with 4 of these lights at the rear of the phone, vertically placed around the rear cameras and the remaining two featuring as the dual front camera flash.

    When comparing the Spark 5 to the Spark 4, one noticeable upgrade, which is also very much welcomed would be in the area of the battery with an additional 1000 mAH over the TECNO Spark 4, bringing the total battery capacity of the new Spark 5 to a competitive 5000 mAH.

    On the software part, the Spark 5 is running on Android 10, with the latest version of TECNO’s UI skin – HiOS 6.

    We have done a full comparison of the TECNO Spark 5 and TECNO Spark 4 in the latter part of this article. Be sure to check it.

    TECNO Spark 5 Specs

    Here are the known specifications of the TECNO Spark 5:

    • Display: 6.6″ Dot-In Screen
    • Front Camera: 8MP Front Camera with Dual Flash
    • Rear Camera: 4 Camera Setup – Depth lens + 13MP Primary Camera with F/1.8 aperture + Macro lens + AI lens

    • Network 4G LTE/3G/2G
    • Storage: 32 GB
    • RAM: 2 GB
    • Processor: Mediatek Helio A22 MT6761

    https://mfidie.com/shop/tecno-spark-5/

    Features of the TECNO Spark 5

    AI Quad Camera with AI Camera 3.0

    Equipped with a quad-camera setup which also has 4 flashlights at the back, the Spark 5 will allow for some great photography including, bokeh effect (blurred background) and AI portrait mode.

    The 4 Cameras consist of:

    • a Depth lens
    • a 13MP Primary Camera with F/1.8 aperture
    • a Macro lens and
    • an AI lens

    With AI Scene detection, the camera can detect 10 different scenes. These are food, pets, flowers, street, portrait, night mode, night portrait, AI HDR, standard HDR and shopping mall environment.

    According to TECNO, photos and selfies taken by the SPARK 5 would be much more impressive and attractive under most everyday conditions. The newly upgraded algorithm “AI Camera 3.0” makes noticeable improvements in the areas of AI HDR, AI Scene Detection and more amazing photography functions.

    Even in backlight scenarios, the new SPARK 5 could still be brighter and clearer, avoiding overexposure of the light parts and clearly showcasing dark details.

    Battery and Performance

    Bigger Battery, Dark Mode and Gesture Navigation

    With a 5000mAH battery, the Spark 5 is expected to last longer than the Spark 4. Coupled with an Android 10 OS, the Spark 5 will use some of the very good battery-saving functions of the OS.

    According to TECNO, the Spark 5 has a standby time of 526 hours.

    There is also the dark theme that has been included in this new version of HiOS. This means you can enjoy all the darkness that apps can bring while having less strain on your eyes. This should also make your battery last longer.

    However, don’t expect the TECNO Spark 5 to last a full day if you are going to be playing heavy games on it.

    It’s also disappointing to see the 2018 Mediatek Helio A22 MT6761 on the device.

    Automatic WhatsApp Status Saver

    If you are one of the people who love to repost WhatsApp Status of your friends and you don’t want to rely on 3rd Party apps to do so, then the Spark 5 might have something you might just love.

    With settings on the phone, you can save your favourite status as long as you want You no longer have to be limited by 24 hours. You can choose between 15 days, 1 month, 3 months or even forever to have WhatsApp statuses saved.

    Infinix Hot 9 Features

    One of the first things you will notice about the Infinix Hot 9 is that there is no 16 GB model. That’s not surprising, considering that a lot of consumers have been complaining about the ROM and RAM options that most Infinix phones start from.

    When it comes to Camera, there is a quad setup, much like the trend for mid-range phones in 2020. The 4 rear cameras are a 13 MP (main), 2 MP (macro), 2 MP (depth) and a low light sensor. It is expected that with a buff in software, the combination of cameras at the back should deliver fairly good quality.

    The front of the Hot 9 houses a single camera that is no different from the Hot 8. It is a standard 8MP camera with flash.

    There are 4 camera options for the Infinix Hot 9. These are:

    • Matte Black
    • Cyan
    • Violet
    • Light Blue

    With Coronavirus still not under control in many African countries, we are not sure when the phone will be available for retail. We will, however, keep you posted as and when new information comes in.

  • Debunked: 5G does not cause or spread Coronavirus

    Debunked: 5G does not cause or spread Coronavirus

    Did you also hear the numerous conspiracy theories linking 5G and COVID-19? Well, I personally had some very “respectable individuals” share conspiracy theory videos on how the 5G wireless service was causing the rapid spread of the novel coronavirus.

    In other parts of the world, it has moved from just theories to vandalism of telecom property and the abuse of their staff.

    When it comes to 5G, conspiracy theorists and their followers claim the following:

    1. 5G might suppress the immune system
    2. Viruses can communicate through radio waves (5G)

    The truth, however, is that none of these claims can be backed by any sort of evidence.

    In fact, many experts have come out to specifically state that the two claims above are completely untrue.

    The World Health Organisation has said that no research has linked exposure to wireless technology with negative health effects.

    Some conspiracy theory videos and articles seem to match 3G, 4G and 5G to the SARS, swine flu and new coronavirus outbreaks. Although 3G, 4G and 5G were unrolled at similar dates to the SARS, swine flu and new coronavirus outbreaks, their start dates do not match.

    Many countries without 5G infrastructure have reported coronavirus cases (even here in Africa). Another research by the Reuters Fact Check Team shows that there is no scientific evidence to connect mobile communication networks with the SARS, swine flu and coronavirus outbreaks.

    England’s National Medical Director Stephen Powis has been widely reported in the media as saying, “The 5G story is complete and utter rubbish, it’s nonsense, it’s the worst kind of fake news.”

    And that’s exactly what it is – Fake News.

    Fake news that has been fueled and is gaining grounds because of the many uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Keep in mind:

    1. 5G does not suppress the immune system
    2. Viruses (live COVID-19) cannot communicate through radio waves (5G)

    Remember that, COVID-19 is a respiratory virus which spreads primarily through droplets generated when an infected person coughs or sneezes, or through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose.  Read how to protect yourself against the pandemic, as you practice social distancing.

    How to download and use the COVID-19 Tracker App in Ghana

    Ghana’s Ministry of Communications in partnership with iQuent Technologies Ascend Digital Solution has launched the GH COVID-19 Tracker App.

    Although the app is not available on the Stores, the ministry has stated that it will be available in the Google Play Store and the App Store later this week.

    According to the Vice President, the app will help to track telephone numbers that are apparently or recently have been in certain countries around the world. The Ghana immigration service will use this information to determining who to provide an extra layer of screening.

    The COVID-19 Tracker app is also said to be useful in quarantine reliability to assess if certain individuals who are required to self-quarantine are actually doing that as a measure to flatten the curve of COVID-19 cases in Ghana.

    The Tracker App this is yet another weapon yet deployed to fight the novel Coronavirus.

    Ghana is one of the few countries in the world to deploy such an app and it will give the Government advance information and allow the responsible institutions to respond quickly to COVID-19 related issues.

    Dr Bawumia said: “If you look at the current spread of the pandemic, it suggests that the virus has a mind of all. It will, therefore, require innovative ideas such as the application of technology to deal with this fundamental. If Ghana hopes to flatten the curve or to stop the surgeon numbers of people being infected.”
