Tecno Phantom is a great looking device, i assume they pegged the price at 70k based on the amount of sales they are expecting. if sales were going to top 2 million devices they would surely peg it at 45k. bit they need to make a profit hence the astronomical pricing for a brand as tecno.

On the flip side, 70k would get you a Galaxy NOTE 3. and that device has better specs than the phantom.

The note 3 has mhl, and a plethora of sensors that the phantom 5 cant phantom.

the infra red on the note 3 can be used to control your electronic devices, tv, hifi, decoder etc.

Air gestures are unknown to the phantom 5

Corning Gorilla glass 3 on the Note3, no gorilla glass for the Phantom 5

the phantom surely ought not to have crossed the 45k - 50k threshold in my opinion, but its a great device if you arent considering the price

Are you thinking about other phones you could get with 70k? In fact, compare these phones with Tecno Phantom 5

perhaps the this phone was not made with low-mid range parts like its older brother ''when techno makes a phone with a 70k price tag i cant hepl but wonder'' my Dad said.

these threads on Tecno price are very amusing sha.


Nothing wrong with Tecno selling at 70k jare. they want to be premium. Premium brands don't sell that many units in Nigeria anyway. E possible say for each unit they sell the profit is equal to that of 15 cheap phones.


The only confusing thing for me is that when this Tecno/Android thing started it was the subject of so many wars on this NL, many people said the only reason why people were buying it was the cheap price, but the tecno fans insisted that it was because the phones were the bomb and even equal to / better than the other flagships.


Now they are selling expensive phones, people are complaining about the price. I'm confused. Are Tecno and Samsung no longer mates?

70k? That must be a joke.

I think it is a superb phone. I was at the launch and I have played with the phone there and in the store, before getting one for myself. TECNO won't sell as much as they sell the cheaper TECNO phones, but they will sell a lot to people who love high range and want to stand out.

I have bought one for myself and my SMILE 4G/LTE SIM works in the phone. It is a premium phone at its best and I am surprised that TECNO was able to pull this off and this makes me happy.

If its not an iPhone its not an iPhone.

this bullshit phones with high paper specs and wack real life performance. octa core deca-core shitnizz, theyre only as good as from far. 70k for tecno, i wld rather buy a brand new iPhone 5c as a second phone and flex on the remaining change. 5s sef na that range e dey now.

made the silly mistake of buying the hottest infinix hot2 as a side phone to accomodate my other sim and was so unimpressed. was wondering how jumia managed to deliver it in two days. currently im looking towards discarding it after just two days. it is useless and poor looking so i can imagine how tecno would look like.

let no one just vex me and mention any stupid mtk bullshit here.

Samsung, HTC, Huawei seen it all same shii, iPhone anyday

This is a rather pathetic and very baseless notion, and I beg to differ. Wherever you got your idea about the 2013 chipset is wrong.

1. Tecno P5 processor is MT6753 octacore Mali T720 MP3 @ 700MHz dated 2015. So, you're very very very very wrong sir. This almost performs better than your outdated Helio X10 Xiaomi processor dated 2014.

Please, do your homework before coming on here to spoil a brand name that did you no wrong whatsoever.

The Phantom 5 and Xiaomi RN2 no be mate rara. The Phantom is it's senior Bros.

2. The price is just perfect. The RN2 doesnt have a finger print sensor, does it? See? Another baseless talk you made.

3. Tecno and bad battery? After a month? Tecno must have hurt you somehow somewhere before. You want to start using infinix problem to describe Tecno. Tecno that is rugged like mad.

4. The Phantom 5 receives OTA updates. You should seriously do your homework before airing your smelly opinions, you know?

In fact, you aren't worth the other two points. You've lost 1000cool points from me. You and the other guys bashing thus majestic product.

Oga, you're hungry. Carry your anger to some other thread. You're probably broke and the price is paining you.

Now over to my concerns about the Tecno Phantom 5

1. Tecno P5 Processor is dated OctaCore processor (2013) vs Xiaomi RN2 Mediatek MT6795 Helio X10 (2015)

2. Cost wise, Tecno #70,000 vs Xiaomi RN2 #45,000

3. Battery wise, based on experience and past product launches, Tecno phone batteries are not properly optimsed for thier devices, wacky, unreliable and false capacity.

4. No OTA updates. Unlike well established and credible alternatives like Xiaomi, Meizu, Infinix etc, all Tecno devices are a pain in the a55 when it comes to product support and updates.

5. Touchscreen and Software Issues. Techno is known for overhanging, unresponsive touchscreen after a month of purchase and many more software related problems.

6. Android OS transition. Moving from one Android version to another means a New Product Launch From Tecno. The next iteration of the Phantom series will be a new product running android v.6, Marshmallow.

You don't like MTK and you're on an MTK thread. You're also mouth from a far. No performance. You think someone with an iPhone had time bashing MTK threads on Nairaland? Unless the fellow is a broke iOS user. Please, shift. See you comparing tecno with infinix, when did infinix start the game? Ehn! You're the one that used your money to play sure bet with infinix. As far as I'm concerned, Infinix is still learning how to play the game Tecno is already winning. You should keep your biased iOS opinions to your iOS threads biko!

Elephone Vowney, Zuk Z1, Qiku Youth all offer better specs for similar or less amount. Tecno got the pricing wrong. $311 for that phantom 5 is alittle too much if you ask me. By the way Blackview Omega pro got same cpu/gpu and ram for N34, 000.

Guy how do you seriously come out and say that the mtk 6753 is better than the Helios 10(mtk6795)?Do u think if techno made a phone with the Helios 10 processor it won't be more expensive than this phantom 5.And now u talked of OTA updates wen u fully know that techno phones are stagnated wen it comes to OS updates.Even the innjoo that came out last year already has a lollipop 5.1 update available,even infinix too,what has techno done for its phantusers concerning users concerning OS updates?Continue blindly defending them

Guy he is confused. Doesn't even know flagship processors from budget. Your Meizu M2 Note uses that processor, also a TON of N30 to N40k phones with 2gb to 3gb ram out there using MTK6753. Its even below Lenovo K3 Note's MT6752.
