REVIEW
After i have taken you through that wonderful spec for the device you might want to know some reports i got from users who have actually made use of the phone and decided to share experiences.
Okay one good feature about the phone is the Android Version it runs on. At the time it is the latest in use. Although there is a newer version, Android 8.0 which is called OREO, it hasn't been fully put to wide use, only a very few device run on this Version(Oreo).
The Nugat version in itself has special battery saving advantages that comes with it, like the advanced doze mode and others, this can compensate to an extent the 1800mAH low battery Capacity. Another interesting feature is the Split Screen feature, very wonderful but not enjoyable on this device as a result of the low 4.0" Display of the device.
The Multi User feature can help a lot for those who know how to use it.
However, I noticed SOME MALFUNCTIONS in the phone.
If you delete a large file, the Device memory will still not be freed untill you restart the device. The device becomes hot, though not VERY hot, with long persistent use. The device Inbuilt Memory(ROM) is very small and yet about 70% of it is occupied by bloatwares and the rest of those so you just have only about 30% of the memory to manipulate.
The Device Battery Saver is almost useless. But in all, the device is Great for its price. It is worth giving a try. If you need an average and cheap Smartphone then TECNO W1 is the Droid for the job.
NOTE: this Review is not aimed at defaming the product, but to give foresight to customers about the product.

Xiaomi Mi 5X launches MIUI 9. 4GB RAM, 64GB storage, see more...

Xiaomi phone on the roll with this one. Coconut Mi 5X is Dishing out amazing specs at very affordable price. But considering its specs and, most especially, the latest MIUI 9 UX, the Xiaomi Mi 5X is really for anyone. Let me blow your minds out.. .

The Xiaomi Mi 5X is mid-range but has some similarities with the company’s flagship device, the Mi 6. It uses the dual 12 megapixel sensors from OV, both RGB cameras though one is dedicated to telephoto shots only. While the Mi 5X and Mi 6 have the same 1920×1080 resolution, the mid-range one has it on a 5.5-inch panel, resulting in a lower pixel density.


The rest of the specs is pretty much similar to most higher mid-range smartphones. That means a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 running the show, 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage. The battery is a high 3,080 mAh pack, which, given the relatively low specs, could last users a whole day before reaching for a wall socket. In terms of design, the Mi 5X holds no surprises. Everyone seems to have learned from Apple’s blunder when it comes to antenna lines and Xiaomi has creatively made them invisible. It will still remind you of some smartphones from other companies, though.


• Operating System: Android 7.0, MIUI 9
• CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon 625
• RAM: 4 GB
• Storage: 64 GB
• Display: 5.5-inch 1920×1080 Full HD
• Main Camera: 12 MP + 12 MP (telephoto)
• Secondary Camera: 5 MP
• Battery: 3,080 mAh

More than just the hardware, however, the star of the show is arguably MIUI 9. This is the latest version of Xiaomi’s custom Android experience and is, at long last, finally based on Android 7.0 Nougat. Xiaomi added own custom features, like a smart resource management and scheduling, promising snappier interfaces and faster launching apps. Interestingly, Xiaomi is putting a lot of emphasis on its new search capabilities, letting you search even images using words. It also implements a “smart select” functionality that will suggest apps to launch based on what is on the screen or what you received in a chat.






The Xiaomi Mi 5X will be availble in China for 1,499 RMB, about $220. No word yet on availability in other markets. As for MIUI 9, however, it will eventually roll out to other phones, but Xiaomi cautions that not all features it unveiled for China might be available in the international version.
