Tecno debe darle actualizaciones a los usuarios tanto en sistema operativo como en android es la única forma de que pueda competir con las demás marcas de lo contrario quedará muy por debajo de su competencia es decir se volverían equipos obsoletos y eso los pone muy por debajo de cualquier otro móvil lo único que les falta es agregarle las actualizaciones para ser un gran líder en el mercado. La empresa debe satisfacer la necesidad de los clientes y demostrar que es calidad y economía.
