The Tecno Phantom 5 is Tecno’s newest flagship device lauched into the country on 16th of September. Among the features of the new flagship device are Fingerprint sensor, 3GB RAM, 32GB ROM, great camera, Dual LED flash at the rear and a cool flash at the front for selfies and video calls at night.

On the other hand, the Tecno Camon C8 is specifically built for photography, it is also a great device which had been trending seriously in the African smartphone markets. It comes with a 13MP camera that many reviewers compare with the camera on an iPhone.
