Design and Display

The Tecno Phantom 8 doesn’t appear to be that bad for a phone that will be competing against heavyweights like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and iPhone 8. For a premium feel, it includes a metallic chassis with an enticing 3D ‘Diamond Fire Design.’ The edges are curved, and the total profile is 7.9 mm long.

A 5.7-inch IPS display with a Full HD resolution of 1,080 x 1,920 pixels is featured on the Tecno Phantom 8. You can anticipate slightly sharper photographs than the predecessor. Corning Gorilla Glass is used to protect the device from scratches.

The Cameras

This device joins the growing list of flagships with dual rear cameras. For enhanced image depth and quality, the Tecno Phantom 8 combines a 12MP sensor with a 13MP sensor. Among the shot features are a Tri-LED flash, autofocus, and a 10X zoom.

With this one, bright selfies are on the menu. On the front, there’s a fantastic 20MP camera with dual-LED flash. This is going to be a hit among selfie fans!

Hardware and Software

On the Tecno Phantom 8, apps and games will run almost flawlessly. This is due to its octa-core MediaTek Helio P25 chipset, which is backed up by 6GB of RAM. The system memory is the finest the organization has ever had.

On the interior, there is 64GB of storage capacity. A microSD card can be used to expand this to a mind-boggling 2 TB. The Tecno Phantom 8 comes preloaded with Android 7.0 Nougat with the HiOS 3.0 skin, which is a little underwhelming. However, there is the possibility of an update.

Other Features

Another feature that may disappoint some purchasers is the 3,500mAh battery included with the Tecno Phantom 8. This, on the other hand, offers quick charging to cut down on the length of time it spends in the socket.

The Tecno Phantom 8 has a fingerprint scanner and can connect to the internet via LTE. A USB Type-C port, twin SIM slots, USB On-The-Go (OTG), and Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct are all included.
