Why the boom j8 price is so high like this in naija? In Kenya it's sold for (ksh16999).. Check the exchange rate from KSH to NAIRA and see for ur self that this people is reaping us high here..

Its naira that's devalued against dollars and not ksh... What do you expect?? Nigeria and Kenya don't have the same economy

More like redesigning the camon c8 and then name it boom j8. For some of us who love screen pixels, the 720p screen is a big turn off. And then buyers be ready to b stuck on Android 5.1 on it for ever. Scoring this crap a 30/100
That's the essence of the hios u. To make up for other lacking areas

Tecno Boom J8 is a nearly perfect smartphone and for once I honestly cannot think of a single element that is missing from it.

You can’t help but feel sorry for users of Tecno Boom J7. One would expect a minor upgrade with the Boom J8, but it is created to capture a modern design language paired with frankly impressive specs that crushes other smartphones within the same price range.

The large, curved edged, sexy smartphone is undeniably beautiful, but there is still a lot to be said for the flat-screened device. Let’s find out what makes Tecno’ Boom J8 a stealer device.

Design & Display

Strangely, Tecno Boom J8 is characteristically thin, although not too thin to complete against the world’s slimmest smartphones. The device brings a new design language that mimics the iPhone 6S Plus. Except for the Apple logo and the antenna lining missing at the back of the device, it could easily be mistaken to be a pure breed Apple smartphone.

Picking up the device is easy and handling is exceptionally comfortable. Thanks to the slightly curved edges and the flat-back – it’s easier to hold, though still just as easy to drop. There is no rare camera bump, an attention to design detail that scores an extra point.

It’s hard to hold the Tecno Boom J8 for the first time and not instantly fall in love with it. The overall feel of the phone is one of class – the changes from the Boom J7 are ruthless, but totally worthwhile.


Tecno does an excellent job in its choice of the speaker’s placement and sound is powered by Max Audio technology which I found pretty cool. The headphone socket placement is at the top, like most smartphone currently available in Nigeria. The volume controls and power button are on the right, just like the previous incarnations.

On the front, the 5MP selfie shooter is easily spotted, and it’s paired with soft flash at the top right. The dual SIM and MicroSD card port are revealed when you remove the back cover. The Battery is sealed, can’t be removed and it is rated 3000mAh.

Does anyone know if the memory is partitioned. As in, is a bit of memory allocated to apps and the rest to other kinds of files.
