Foundation, general information
Tecno Mobile is a mobile phone manufacturer with their factory located in China. The company first saw the world in July 2006 in Hong Kong. With its first research and development center in Shanghai, China, Tecno Mobile was founded as Tecno Telecom Limited, but later changed its name to Transition Holdings with Tecno Mobile serving as one of its subsidiaries. Tecno focused its business on Africa and the South Asian market. However, following market research conducted in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America, the company found that Africa was the most lucrative region. As a result of this, in 2008, it stopped doing business in Asia to exclusively focus on Africa. The Tecno camon c8 helped the mobile phone manufacturer compete with the market share of Samsung, and Apple in Nigeria.
