TECNO is a Hong Kong–based Chinese smartphone manufacturer.[1][2] It was established in 2006. It is a subsidiary of Transsion Holdings.

Aimed at emerging markets, Tecno has mainly focused its business on Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.

History

In 2006, TECNO was founded as Tecno Telecom Limited, but later changed its name to Transsion Holdings with TECNO serving as one of its subsidiaries. In 2007, Tecno created a second brand, Itel that sold in Africa. In early 2008, Tecno focused entirely to Africa following market research, and by 2010, it was among the top three mobile phone brands in Africa.[4]

Tecno entered the Middle East mobile phone market in 2016,[5] and entered India, Bangladesh and Nepal markets in 2017, with trial sales in Pakistan also starting that year.[6]

The TECNO phones sold in India are assembled in their manufacturing facility in Noida, Uttar Pradesh.[7]

Tecno collaborated with the University of Leeds School of Design on developing an accurate way to capture diverse skin tones in camera images,[8] using a combination of spectral data and AI-powered algorithms to improve skin tone rendering in smartphone photography.[9][10]

In 2024, TECNO developed a tri-foldable phone concept.[11]
