The company has developed several features that respond to the specific challenges and preferences of the African market, such as:

  1. Anti-theft. Techno Mobile has a unique anti-theft feature that makes it impossible for the phone to be stolen or used without the owner's permission. This feature allows the owner to remotely lock, wipe or track the phone in case of theft or loss. This feature notifies the owner if someone tries to insert another SIM card or change the phone's IMEI number. This feature is very useful in Nairobi where phone theft is a common problem.

The company has also integrated artificial intelligence and other technologies to improve image quality and offers various modes and filters.
  4. Local content. Tecno Mobile has also adapted its smartphones to the local taste and culture of the African market. The company works with local content providers and platforms such as Boomplay, Palmstore and Vskit to offer a range of music, games, videos and apps that are relevant and attractive to African consumers. The company supports local languages ​​and dialects such as Swahili, Hausa and Yoruba to make its smartphones more accessible and user-friendly.
