“AI is built on two core principles- to enhance your productivity and unleash your creativity. The first AI I would like to mention is the real time call translation. This one is super useful in a sense that it translates both real time. For example, when you speak English real time, it will convert your English into French. So the person at the other end of the call would get you in French, and when the person replies you, it will translate the French into English.
“It’s very good for business owners and people that do a lot of overseas business. You are able to communicate with your customers and suppliers properly. Also, because it’s so powerful, please don’t choose any negative thing, please.

“Also, its multilingual text generator and translation feature is unique. You can write your text in English, and it would translate that text into different languages, whether in Spanish, Arabic or French. So this is good if you are launching a product in different countries where they have different languages, it will convert that English text into different languages, and you can post about your product,” he explained.
Speaking further, Shobanjo said that at the heart of the intelligent ecosystem is TECNO’s commitment to offer Nigerians, and indeed, the African consumers more connected and personalized work and life experiences, adding that this means going beyond the smartphone to provide a complete range of consumer electronics.

Our approach is to deliver ‘Practical Al’, where new features integrate seamlessly into daily life to truly help consumers, improve their quality of life and make everyday tasks simpler.”
