Don't judge phone by specs, the real performance, features and customization is the real deal. This phone has it all believe. I will place this phone above my infinix hot note after playing with the phone for some hrs. Hugely customised ui, fast and responsive.

This review captures it all


This is going to be a non-techy
review as I am anything but a
techy. If you are interested in the
J7’s specifications
The Boom J7 is officially the first
Android device that lasted more
than 48 hours in my hands. Being
a renowned die hard Blackberry 10
fan, I am quite shocked that I
haven’t missed my BlackBerry much
from the day I picked up this
device. So, come with me for my
opinion about this latest offering
from TECNO.

The Yays!
My 1st Yay: Design
My first yay for this device is the
design. I am talking about looks,
feel, colours and all of that. Being a
designer, I am almost not attracted
to coloured devices. The Boom J7
proved to be an exception. It was
love at first sight. I immediately
took some time to take in its lovely
feel and colour and to caress it.
very few devices in this price range
give you the semblance of premium
that the Boom J7 gives. The colour
display too.. erm.. though not as
badass as what is on those
premium devices that cost as much
as my dad’s first car, is very good
and clear, with really beautiful
wallpapers. As a matter of fact, the
wallpapers are so beautiful that Mr
Mo took one of it for his device

My 2nd Yay: Selfies
We all know that until recently,
BlackBerry made horrible selfie
cameras. As a result, I have been
selfie starved for as long as I can
remember (I used a Z10). This
Boom J7 brought my swags back
with its selfie and primary camera.
With really clear pictures and well
defined colours, one could easily
mistake its photo for one from
those other high end devices – you
know, those ones that are
equivalent to your house rent.

My 3rd Yay: The Boom Player
Boom Player is a music app built
into the Boom J7 by TECNO. It is at
the core of the new focus on
entertainment. It gives the user
access to an online music store to
stream and/or download music
tracks. It also lets the user play
music from the device storage or
memory card.
This is officially my first use of an
in-built music and videos streaming
app on any device. And I must
confess, it feel like I have been
living in a cave all my life. It took
split seconds for me to get the
hang of it and ooo-la-la! I have
been on music without end. I do not
know how other music apps work,
but this one actually gives me the
lyrics for every song played and
the lyrics downloads with the songs
as well. Now, I just pick a song,
download it and sing along every
other time it plays on my device.
For me, that’s the shiiii.
Meanwhile, the loudspeaker on its
back is simply A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!! We
had an in-house test with a really
high end device, and honestly, the
results blew our minds. And the
bundled headphones are really
good, producing clear audio. For a
mid-range device like this, I can bet
my dollars on the fact that it would
blow its peers out of the waters.
We have a comparison video going
out shortly. Watch out for it.

My 4th Yay: Ultra power Saving Mode
I must not forget to mention that
the Boom J7 has an Ultra Power
Saving feature. This basically turns
the device into an ordinary feature
phone with the most basic of
functions and without any internet
connection. I once had to run on
this mode during a weekend party
when my battery ran low. Guess –
it lasted an amazing 12 more hours
of standard use on calls, text
messaging, calculator, notebook for
jottings and a sound recorder.
Because joggling between modes is
so easy, you can switch briefly into
the smartphone mode to check
your messages and switch back to
feature phone mode. I particularly
like this one because it helps me
escape from the usual distractions
of the smartphone features and
strips me down to the basics when I
need to.

Nahs?
Unfortunately, I have none. The
device hasn’t misbehaved in all two
weeks it has been with me. It
hasn’t lagged once either. I do all
my smartphone activities – mails,
web browsing, social media, phone
calls, mobile banking and some little
measure of gaming. The battery is
good but not exceptional. It keeps
me going throughout my working
hours, though one needs to charge
up about once every 12 hrs. It
doesn’t heat up like some other
devices I know and its finishing
looks like it will withstand some
serious use.
I am told by TECNO’s reps that the
J7 costs between 23,000- 25,000.
Not pricey at all for what it
delivers. In my opinion, I think
TECNO has hit a good note with the
J7. The device can be described in
just one word: BOOM!
my verdict Tecno j7 is the best smartphone that cost btw 23,000 -25,000 .Forget about those octacore phones around now ,this is innovation at it best from Tecno

tecno j7 here i come boom time

Please if you already have this phone.. Is true that the picture resolution is 294ppi? Instead I'm seeing 246ppi on some sites

is 294ppi

the phone is boom! I have been enjoying the since 15/04/2015 till date. so no p

It's a great phone. I have been using the phone since 15/4/2015 till date and no complaint of any kind. so the phone is boom!

I think one should get a power bank along side with d fone, its like having a battery extension, since the boom j7 battery capacity is 2020mah, i think 8000mah power bank will be ok, which can give u approximately 4 times full charge. enjoy!! boom is unique.

This phone is damn nice as far as design goes. Even UI.
I believe this is the best ui any mtk phone can boast of
(I stand to be corrected)
you gotta love the weather effect on the lock screen.
Love what they did with the recents key.

Before you judge let me quickly tell you I've used a Samsung s4 and currently using a tab s 8.4 alongside this beauty. The phone is worthy of applaud.

got mine for 23K.

This is the first phone I've used and not thought of customising the interface.

Tanx bro, I luv d review of d phone I watchd on utube bt wat is givin me concern is d complain abt d ba3 pple r givin here dats y I want to knw weda it can last for a day coz I 8 fones wit ba3 issue. So r u assurin me dat it can last 4 a d whole day?

Yes it can. Like today I started the day with my phone at 26 percent . I left my 3g on and it carried me till 14percent by 2.
I turned of the 3 since then. It's presently 12 percent.
Anyone who complains about the phone, first confirm if he owns d phone or has used it for more than a day.
that's when you can consider whatever criticism they want to make

I have just gotten this phone along with the infinix Hot note device. In couple of days I will be coming out with comparison of the two phones. Let me assure people that are still doubting the performance of the battery. The 2020mAh battery is the best I have seen so far. Let me also say this, tecno J7 has one of the best launchers any android phone could ever boast of, be it Samsung or HTC and the UI remains the very best of all MTK devices. Most of the system apps are purely built by Tecno. From the lovely calendar app to the high quality music app. This is great innovation from tecno..........

Check out the beautiful themes this launcher boasts of. Amazing right?
