Oga leave nairaland if u can't stand people quoting u. Nobody said Tecno is not an excellent brand, I have commended the Phantom 6 and 6 plus in other threads, but for the Phantom 6 not to have a fingerprint scanner is a fail.. stop attaching too much sentiment to phones, they are just gadegts, use for while, dump and move to the next one.
infact that was the exact reason i dont like the phantom 6. and they now gave it dual camera i dont need and its 6 cores proccessor.

the bigger one (the plus) that has finger print scanner and 10 cores. is too big, ugly, and has lcd screen (while phantom 6 has AMOLED)

the both versions of the phone is not complete. so i can not buy the phone. and zero 4 is way too ugly.

Funny enough... Mali doesn't even belong to mediatek.. it's from ARM.. If Mali is improving as you say.. why is samsung making plans to have nvidia/AMD gpu's on their upcoming chipsets But... oh well.. at least Mali is better than Power VR... that one is the worst

Abeg Mali is for budget phones for people like us. Look at the flagship Samsung phones now, an average Nigerian can no longer afford one without sweating blood!

MTK currently has the best processor(helio x30) in the world as we speak. thats why brands like TECNO who dying for more global recognition are sticking to it because its a much easier path to success, riding on the back of a young and highly innovative chipset manufacturer .

samsung can afford to do whatever they like , as they did in the past using their own failed chipset aka exynos since theyve been aroundmore longer and are known much than the others.

it just pisses me of when people assume that since its SAMSUNG whatever they do is right.
Oga that is a BIG LIE! Have you seen the details of the snapdragon 835? Wait sef have you seen the exynos 8895 or even the kirin 960 from Huawei Which innovation?? I'd rather have a power quadcore processor with a fantastic gpu from snapdragon than mtk's 10 core bullshit... please read or watch reviews of the mtk helio x20... it's direct competitor in snapdragon is the 652... a mid range processor... it gets a little above 84000 on antutu.. same as SD 652, SD 820 gets above 120,000... guy you sef reason am naw... MTK help's companies like tecno stay in the business of manufacturing smartphones... they want to become a world leading brand They should stop using mtk on all their phones... especially the flagships.... it's an insult when tecno flagship phantom 6+ is equal to the xiaomi mid range phone redmi note 4.. which isn't even as good as the note 3 pro

Gbam. I don't know what makes Tecno think everyone would want that oversize 6 plus. They could have made the phantom 6 complete with 6 plus internals. I don't see myself using a 6 inch phone with no special features. Not that is has split screen , at least Galaxy note series have split screen and S pen to get the best out of the big screen, and that's even 5.7 inch.

I was sent the phantom 6 phone to experience and I wanted to know what the hype around the phone was for. I can tell you that I was blown away and even began 'preaching' about the phone to friends and family. I will highlight a list of the things I have experienced:

1). TYPE C CHARGER: I wish this charger came with all phones because I was so impressed with this charger; first of all it is multi-dimensional (has detachable two and three-ports so you phone can fit in any socket). This charger also charges very fast. This will bring me to my second experience with the phone

2). BATTERY: The battery lasts! I did not have steady power the week I got the phone so when power came on I was able to charge the phone for 30 minutes. You would not believe that the battery lasted steady for five days! I was wondering what kind of jazz they used on the phone to make it that way.

3). CAMERA: This phone's camera quality is the best I've ever seen( I am not lying). The camera was so sharp. I will post pictures I took with the phone at the end of this post. I tried taking pictures from miles away and even from a close angle and the camera captured it accurately.

4). APPS: When I heard that they packed 10 processors on this phone I was wondering how they could do it. But then I used the phone and I really understood why it was so powerful!You can leave so many apps running on the device and it's work perfectly. The phone has a very
wide range of apps that can be downloaded from the play store especially video-related apps and it'll work without hassles.

5). SLIM DESIGN: I got the gold-colored phone and it was so slim. When I first got it I was skeptical at whether it will perform all the things I heard that the phone could do but I can tell you it did that and so much more. All you have been hearing about the tecno phantom 6 is not a lie at all. The phone is slim and packs 10 processors; and has everything you need in a phone and much more.

6). SOFTWARE UPDATE FUNCTION: A lot of people used to complain that tecno phones do not give the function of updating their IOS to something higher so they want to root but this time the tecno engineers took note of that and made that option available.

All I can say is that I was impressed so far with the phone; all my family members and friends that saw me with the phone want to buy it because they've seen the quality. Well done tecno for this amazing device.


not even one disadvantage

Tecno and their paid posters are all liars.

I bought a Tecno W4 and despite knowing their antics, i bought it because i was tight and my LG phone broke at a bad time.

The phone hangs, sometimes wont detect memory card and heats up so bad that if i sneak up on a friend and place it on exposed skin, that person will scream.

If i cant save up to buy an iphone even if it is used, i will never buy a tecno or any yama yama phone again.

I am sure this phantom is also a phone well suited for the refuse dump.

Wetin we expect you to talk?Sorry, but nothing said here has impressed me..Oh and about the battery,that's a bloody lie!Post the battery stats here let's all see.Even my cubetalk tab of 10000mah never lasted 5 days on a full charge.Gionee M5 with 6000mah battery doesn't last for 5 days.Please don't mislead people because you want to promote the phone.#nobeef



According to techsmart dot ng review------


"The Tecno Phantom has a non-detachable battery design with 2700 mAh battery. The battery should take you through at least 7 hours of heavy usage. The battery capacity found on Phantom 6 is a bit disappointing as it is a downgrade to Tecno Phantom 5 battery or even compared to Phantom 6 plus which has about 4050mAh".



Techcityng dot com review excerpts on the camera and battery---
"Although I hate to burst TECNO’s bubble because I just think they put the camera on the Camon C9 and dumped it on the Phantom 6. There really seem to be no difference at all, its pegged at 13MP and there is still no camera settings for you to make adjustments such as light, image size and other simple settings obtainable on camera phones. The interface just looks basic and you are only restricted to the default regulars like HDR, guidelines, gesture shots.
Camera performance under sunlight/Daylight is okay but low light performance is just a no-no, I expected more."













On poor battery life-
"Battery is capacity is not impressive
Maybe this is the gloomy feature on the device, I questioned the 2,700mAh capacity of the battery after checking through the specs sheet of the device. Maybe I should refresh your memory by telling you that the Phantom 5 had 3,000mAh battery capacity.
Screen is an Amoled display which obviously drains battery as long as you have more screen-on time but somehow users can manage the power by using dark coloured wallpapers and themes to reduce excessive power usage by the screen.
Heavy users should get themselves a power bank, you are only sure of an average 6 hours or less if you indulge in continuous chat, calls, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, videos and those social stuff."



Should i go on?..I don't think so..
N.B I am not against tecno,but your bogus claims really annoyed me..
The only way you could be tellinh the truth is if the phantom 6 you reviewed was specially customized for you with a 10,000mah battery.
My honest advice to anyone considering buying this phone is to Google more reviews by tech blogs and read up extensively to get honest reviews.

it's not bad i have a Samsung Note 4 and Infinix Hot 4 and Mali GPU in PSP emulation isn't bad then again PSP emulation isn't bad but i agree it doesn't come close to Adreno GPU or SnapDragon CPU but i read a review that the T860 MP2 is mostly for low demanding games.
bro I bought an Infinix hot 3 LTE I was thinking it would be OK for gaming, pls just give the phone a glimpse on the specs its got and tell me if there's any thing missing which is causing it to perform this poor. I'm so confused I don't know if Infinix were just messing around with our hopes

All these paid marketers Tecno keeps churning out to 'review' their phones...is this how they plan to dominate the region?

Even more disgusting are the obvious, childish lies...including using the phone for 5 days on a single charge.

I only wish Tecno paid people who know the first thing about gadgets. Why will anyone take the word of someone who mistakes Android for iOS and thinks there are 10 processors in the phone?

I basically stated my opinion and the results I got and you have the effrontery to tell me I'm lying. I charged the phantom phone and it lasted for me that long. I did not use it for social media. You can simply state your point without telling others that they are lying about their experience. Its rude, uncouth and says a lot about your upbringing.
plain and simple.... You are lying!

Lol, why take it personal? Paid Infinix marketer u say? Pls don't make me laugh. And by the way Infinix and tecno are under the same company, its just like a Lexus owner dissing a Toyota owner... Abeg what's the difference apart from the extra luxury?

Oh before I forget, there's no way 30 mins charge on the phantom 6 (or any other phone on the planet) will give u 5 days usage... NEVER. ( unless of course u keep the phone in ur drawer for the whole 5 days).
You are on point. watch the review here

Now who's gonna take u serious when u continue to lie this way. haba easy na. 30 minutes charge and last u 5 days lol. Well maybe u just kept the phone in ur bag without using it at all.. then its possible. But when u have ur accounts synced, with whatsapp, fb, g mail, pople calling, browing the web... abeg that thing will need charging by 7pm. Even Tecno L7 plus which is the most rugged tecno phone when it comes to battery won't lat 5 days. Hell even Gionee m5 which is about the most rugged phone when it comes to battery won't last 5 days and u are telling me phantom 6 with 2,700mah lasted u 5 days. Ok continue.

I mean, for real. I'm on the M5, and at its very best, I can push it to a charge every other day.

To say you charged a phone for 30 minutes and it lasted 5 days is probably only possible if you kept it idle for 4 of those 5 days... It's not like this phone is on VOOC or Dash charging tech... You probably got like 40% on 30 minutes. That's optimistic too.

But hey, no problem..

What is the chip configuration.... X30 is bether than A10 Fusion Oga not only are you lying.... you obviously don't know anything about mobile tech...
