Yes ma'am. You're very much qualified to join the party

Gentlemen, although TECNO might parade the phantom 6 plus as a good phone and try daily to make us see that it is but don't let them fool you,it really is a good phone.

Nice turn

I bought mine over one month ago and these are the tins i love about the phone
1. The sleek nature. Sometimes i just want to remove the pack and feel it. It's soo friendly to hold without the pack
2. The light weight
3. The camera is superb, flexing it like mad. Within one month i have snapped over 1000 pix with it and u know the feeling when pple keep asking for your phone for a selfie even when they have theirs in their pocket.
4. I don't even bother about power, though the battery is not too strong but i know i always get it charged within 1 hour
5. It multi task freely, thanks to the 3gb ram
6. The speakers are superb
7. Screen Glass is something else.
8. The screen sensitivity to touch makes typing soo fast and easy

Patiently waiting for an update to Android 7.0

Biggest regrets ever however my case is different, I play games and the Graphic card and the chipset is just slow especially for this price, a Zen Fone 2 performs better than it. Outside gaming the phone seems fine but not worth the price. a Snapdragon 820 phone is the next on my mind assuming i can sell this phone.

The battery is 2700mAh and its okay for me cos it still serves me for as long as i want.

Chipset? Slow?

Okay...

The price is so because the dollar value increased 100 percent.
I'm sure you know the implication of that

clearly he is an hardcore gamer, so maybe d mtk x20 doesnt serve him well..in my opinion i dont thing the x20 is a nice gaming processor

Well.
I'm not a gamer so stuff like this is lost on me really

It really beats me why people game on their phones. It's a phone, for calls, social interactions, quick pictures and work accessory.

Phone nowadays don turn PlayStation and Genesis Cinema

Good resolution when it comes to graphics especially the camera. It exceeds my expectation.
Other specs are top notch!

Well I think the principle of extended usage comes in here.
Afterall, some games are built to withstand same rigors it would undergo on a PlayStation on a smartphone.

Love the phone but when will Tecno move on from MTK

Sorry i meant the SnapDragon 821 that's the one that comes with a Adreno 530

I won't say Chipset is slow, but MTK Mali drivers are not as optimized as SnapDragons Chipset which is what i mean by slow, it should be able to handle it but not optimized. But it's misleading when priced as a premium device when in actuality it's mid-range. which is why i said outside gaming it's alright

P6

Game Development that's why, I intend to make an attempt at it which is why my criteria for selecting a phone was a Opengl 3.1/Vulkan API 1.0 Enabled phone which the Phantom 6 clearly supports however I expected the speed to be at least favorable but no it was really not what i had expected. Gaming is a big business, micro-transactions earn developers shit load amount of money, you might ask why game on phone but people are making a living off it, and there isn't a strong AAA Gaming development in Nigeria. It's an untapped market so forgive me if am looking to cashout 2017.

MTK for phones is the AMD for Laptops, it will always be cheap, affordable but never strong in terms of performance *against/as Snapdragon*

Modified

If you look at this thread i made honest reviews about the performance i didn't say it's terrible but for the price i expected better at least it worked fast on this ones i benchmarked it for.

You see...
This is stereotyping.
I thank God I'm using AMD on a Toshiba Satellite laptop and I use Intel at the office.

My AMD has never given me the type of issues my core i3 gave me.

It has never overheated. Unfortunately I cannot posit same for that Intel in my office.

I think it's safe to conclude that chipsets should be judged based on individual models, not the brand as a whole.

Phantom 6 plus is actually the main flagship.
Phantom 6 is like a little step down.

The beauty of fact is that they are true whether you want to believe it or not. I use an AMD CPU and AMD GPU and Intel Processors beat my AMD hands down

Those who do Android development gain better performance for their Emulator Speed when on Intel, this is not me bashing MTK it is just the fact Spandragon are more performance oriented than MTK

why do you use your computer for, if surfing web, and normal work then you won't notice the difference however when it comes to running Virtual Machines and Emulators you will notice a big difference especially when Rendering 3d scenes.

Oh well.
Mtk is used mainly for it's affordability.
I give it to them interms of upping their game with the x20 helio.

You're right.
Overall, intel is better and snapdragon is.

However, I have not had cause to throw away my AMD laptop. It serves me really well and I'm happy with it.
I believe most mtk users are in same position.

it's basically about going for what works best for you especially when you factor in finance and the kind of performance you expect.

If you check my post in that Tecno board i showed people what type of speed to expect when using P6 and also mentioned how fast it was for all the benchmark i tested. Am not saying P6 is a bad phone am just saying i made a wrong decision based on what i wanted it's a good phone.

Okay.
Have you gotten a new one?
which do you intend to get?
