I am sure some of us have questions and concerns about the Phantom 8, questions that I’d try to answer in this review.

BOOT TEST
Like with every other smartphone, the first thing you’d do when you get the Phantom 8 is to power on the device — which takes about 29 seconds and this places the Phantom 8 in the 4th position on the boot test leaderboard.

FINGERPRINT TEST
The next thing you’d probably do is to unlock the device and it would interest you to note that the fingerprint sensor on the Phantom 8 is incredibly fast and accurate, just a tap unlocks the phone. You can also use the sensor to take a picture and accept calls.

DISPLAY

With the device unlocked, you are fully able to see the 5.7 FHD display. The screen is not an OLED display, so you are not getting the super rich and vibrant colors specifically in the reds and blues. But, overall, the Phantom 8’s screen is still a pleasure to look at, plus, sunlight visibility is quite good.


UI

The next thing you’d get to experience is the UI, which isn’t stock Android because Tecno used the latest HiOS — HiOS 3.0
The overall experience is a two-way thing — you either like it or you don't.

If you do like it, you can further tweak the option by choosing between the single launcher — which places all the apps on the home screen:

Or the Standard launcher — this comes with an app drawer.

On the bloatware side of things, the Phantom 8 comes with a couple of them like, Recharge King, to name a few

All of which can be uninstalled to save storage.

STORAGE

Speaking of storage

....

nice review misstechy. Does it support glo 4g band 28.

Am curious to know the phone who sits pretty on the boot test leader board.
