WHAT’S NEW? – A QUICK REVIEW
From the details above , its obvious that a lot of
effort went into the design and overall
specifications of this device. Here’s what’s new on
the Tecno Phantom 6 :
.
.
1. Two Variants :
This year , TECNO Mobile launched two variants of
this device ; The Phantom 6 and Phantom 6 Plus.
Both smartphones differ in their screen size and
internal specifications.
.
Phantom 6 Plus is the bigger smartphone , with a 6.0 inch FHD LTPS Capacitive touch screen 4GB RAM ,
64GB Storage and 4050mAh battery. On the other hand , the Phantom 6 is smaller than
the 6 Plus , and has a 5.5 inch AMOLED screen , 3GB
RAM , 32GB internal storage and 2700mAh battery.
.
.
2. A 5 Layer Metal Design :
One of the unique selling point of the new Tecno
Phantom 6 is its incredible design and slim body ;
totally different from what we saw on the Phantom 5
.
Tecno Phantom 6 has a 5 layer Full metal body to provide more durability. The back is slightly curved
to enable a more firm grip.

Each layer adds a unique element to the overall
appearance of the device. From bottom up, the
body is made up of a Nano molding seamless metal
unibody, a firm fastener, a non-detachable battery
design , and an aluminum magnesium alloy frame.
The corning gorilla glass v3.0 helps protect the screen from scratch and cracks from heavy falls.
.
.
3. High-End Camera :
If you love pictures , the Phantom 6 (and 6 Plus)
will definately interest you because it comes with
world class camera sensors manufactured by SONY.
The camera setup on the Phantom 6 is a little bit
sophisticated and different from what we’re used
to.
.
Tecno Phantom 6 comes with 18MP back camera , however , the camera was split into two different
sensors ; one with 13MP and the other with 5MP
resolution , making a total of 18MP.
The 13MP camera detects the view , while the 5MP
camera provides more depth and clarity to the
picture.
If we can recall , this same camera setup was used
on the Huawei P9 and the iPhone 7 Plus smartphone.
For taking selfies & videos , the Phantom 6 relies on
an 8MP front camera with LED flash.

On the other hand , the Phantom 6 Plus has a single
back camera with 21MP resolution , while the front
camera has a resolution of 8MP , with LED Flash.

4. Improved Hardware & Faster Processor :
In terms of hardware , the Phantom 6 Plus has a
more powerful processor than the phantom 6. It
uses a Deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 chipset ,
which is very fast and battery efficient. MediaTek revealed that the Helio X20 chipset saves battery by
30% , despite its high performance.
.
Along side this powerful chipset , the Phantom 6
Plus relies on 4GB RAM for effective multitasking ,
and 64GB ROM for data storage. However , it is
important to know that the Phantom 6 Plus DOES NOT come with an external SD card slot. Instead , it comes with an Hybrid SIM setup , which means that
you can choose to use one of the sim slots as a
memory card slot.
.
As for the Phantom 6 , it uses a 2.0 Ghz MediaTek
chipset for information processing , 3GB RAM for
multitasking , and 32GB ROM for media storage. If
you want more space , there’s an external SD card
slot of up to 128GB.
.
.
5. Better Security :
Smartphone security is really important because
our personal information will be at risk if hacked.
The Phantom 6 provides a biometric iris scanner
which scans you eyes before unlocking the device.
And if you want more security , you can get the
Phantom 6 Plus which comes with both the iris scanner and a fingerprint reader at the back.
.
.
6. Android 6.0 Marshmallow :
Both devices run on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow
operating system , along side TECNO’s custom User
Interface called HiOs.
HiOs provides better customization , and a collection
of themes and wallpapers to choose from.
.
.
7. USB TYPE-C :
The Tecno Phantom 6 (and 6 Plus) supports USB
TYPE-C port which allows for reversible plug
orientation, fast charging and data transfer from
Phantom 6 to other devices. This is the first time a
technology like this is used on a TECNO device.
.
.
8. Battery Life :
In terms of battery , the Phantom 6 has a lesser
battery capacity than we expected. It comes with a
2700mAh battery with rapid charge. The battery
should take you through at least 7 hours of heavy
usage.
.
On the other hand , the Phantom 6 Plus comes with
a 4050mAh battery which should take you a full
day of heavy usage without recharge.
.
.
Tecno Phantom 6 Plus v Phantom 6
I’m sure by now you’re wondering the difference
between the Phantom 6 plus and the Phantom 6.
Both devices are different and similar in many ways

.
1. Phantom 6 Plus comes with a bigger Screen
2. 6 Plus has more RAM than the Phantom 6
3. Phantom 6 plus comes with both fingerprint
reader and iris scanner , while phantom 6
supports iris scanner
4. The Phantom 6 uses an Octa-core processor ,
while the Phantom 6 Plus is powered by a
Deca-core chipset
5. Tecno Phantom 6 ships with 32GB storage ,
Phantom 6 Plus has 64GB storage
6. A 4050 mAh battery powers the Phantom 6
Plus , while the Phantom 6 is powered by a
2700mAh battery.
.
[b]Should You Buy Or Not?[b]
If you’re using the Phantom 5 and thinking of
upgrading to the Phantom 6 , Here’s what i think
about this device :
.
Firstly , i’ld like to commend TECNO for a job well
done. From what i heard , it took them over 400
days (almost 2 years) to design and put together
the Phantom 6 ; and its really beautiful. Its obvious
that they listened to the wish of the fans , and
produced a much more better device than the Phantom 5.
.
Phantom 6 is beautiful all round. Good specs and
an outstanding camera. However , i’m a little bit
concerned about the battery life. I can’t help but
wonder why such a powerful device as this would
come with a mere 2700mAh battery which may not
last up to 12 hours heavy usage.
.
On the other hand , the Phantom 6 plus looks like a
more “perfect” device , and the 4050mAh battery is
a huge positive. However , it dosen’t come with a
dedicated SD card slot , but you can choose to use
one of the sim slots as a memory card holder.
.
For me , i think the Phantom 6 Plus will be able to
compete with other high-end flagship devices in
the market. i don’t see why not.
.
So , should you buy?
.
Yes!. Definately. There’s a lot of improvement here ,
and i think it is worth the money.
.
If you have enough cash , i’ld suggest you get the
Phantom 6 Plus instead of the normal Phantom 6 ,
because the Phantom 6 plus has better specs and
the battery life is really huge for a device of this
magnitude.

No sane person working hard before seeing money will waste over a 100k on a tecno MTK toy that has no OTA updates. I rather use my money to plant sugar cane farm than spend on their useless over priced device. No matter the specifications, I can bet it can never beat the iPhone 5s in performance despite been an old phone. Tecno is shiiit

Oga oo, na Phantom 6 upandan.. Shey we no go hear another thing again ni? Nawa oo.

Happy New Month to every Nairalander. Wishing us all a profitable November. Pls stay out of trouble
