Tecno mobile phones are known for their quality and user-friendly nature.
However, the same was recently refuted by an Eldoret-based journalist Kipchirchir Mosonik who almost ‘lost his life’ while in possession of a high-end phone from the popular tech manufacturer.
Kipchirchir Mosonik on Wednesday, July 9, called out the phone manufacturer after his phone exploded while in his pocket.
In a social media post seen by Nairobi News, Mosonik narrated how his Tecno Camon 30 exploded in his pocket, causing him serious body harm.
The journalist explained how the phone exploded in his pocket and hurt his left thigh.
That is not the only damage that the scribe incurred as his iPhone too, which was in the same pocket also got damaged in the process.
According to Kipchirchir Mosonik, phones by the brand are no longer a smart innovation but a pocket grenade.
Wrapping his complaint, the journalist gave the phone manufacturer a zero over ten rating, insisting that he does not recommend them to anyone.
“TECNO CAMON 30 TECNO Mobile 😭😭😭
Thought my phone was just for pics and chats… until it decided to go off in my pocket! 💥 Now my left thigh is paying the price with a hip pointer injury (Tensor Fasciae Latae, for the medical folks). My Iphone in critical condition shiet!!!
📱 Tecno’s ‘explosive’ innovation? More like a pocket grenade! 💣 Who needs a camera phone when you can have a flaming surprise instead?
🚑 0/10 – Do NOT recommend,” he wrote.
His sentiments were echoed by countless Kenyans who camped in the comments section of his post with their own experiences with mobile phones from the said maker.
Highlighting the same issue, Radio Maisha news reader Victor Mulama shared Mosonik’s message in a comical yet educative way.
Through his Facebook post, Mulama expressed his disappoinments with the phone brand noting that the phone in question had not even lasted six months.
“NEWS ALERT: Eldoret based media personality Eng. Kipchirchir Mosonik of TIET is calling out TECNO Mobile after his Tecno Camon 30 phone, purchased just six months ago, exploded in his pocket, leaving him with injuries on his left thigh,” Mulama wrote.
Kipchirchir updated his fans by disclosing that Tecno mobile had responded to his plea and promised an amicable resolution and possible compensation.
He wrote;
“UPDATE: TECNO Mobile has responded positively regarding the Camon 30 incident. Awaiting their resolution & compensation.
I’ll keep you all posted on further developments.”
