Tecno Phantom 6 Unboxing and first impression by shiftback: 4:28pm On Nov 22, 2016

I just got the phantom 6 and i thought I should do a quick unboxing.
I've been using it already for the past couple days so don't expect to see me break the seal and tear rubber.

So much hype came with the launch of this and the 6+ so we'll find out if it lived up to the hype or not.

Re: Tecno Phantom 6 Unboxing and first impression by shiftback: 4:39pm On Nov 22, 2016

Let's start with the packaging.
I am big on simplicity.
But the pack the phantom 6 came in is anything but simple.
It came in a huge box.
Check the packaging in comparison to iPhone 7, iPhone 6+, iPhone 6s and BB Z30

Re: Tecno Phantom 6 Unboxing and first impression by shiftback: 4:44pm On Nov 22, 2016

Let's get right on it

The box includes the different documentation that we usually see, such as the Quick Start guide, the user manual that nobody ever reads and the warranty information and of course the phone itself with a USB Type-C port which is a first for TECNO. Also in the box is the AC adapter and the cable that is compatible with this new standard. I particularly like the flat cable as it helps keep things tangle free.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS.

Taking the phantom 6 out of its box, the first thing you’ll notice is how substantial the phone feels in your hand. Even if it isn’t particularly heavy, the metal frame makes the device feel very solid and I was also impression with the 6.15mm thickness of the phone. It adds to the overall beauty and sleekness. The design is spot on for me.

Tecno opted for a uni-body design and is crafted from metal. The phone has premium written all over it. This a far cry from what we normally see from TECNO. The plastic days are truly over.

Turning on the phone you are greeted with a vibrant display.
The high precision 5.5 inch display of the phantom 6 displays colors with unparalleled quality, thanks to the FHD AMOLED display.
The display is protected with Corning gorilla Glass 3.
Viewing angles are good and it's clear the panel TECNO used is of a high quality. The super AMOLED ensures that the colours are vibrant and crisp with the signature deep blacks that has come to be associated with AMOLEDs.
Overall the display is stunning and vibrant there can't be any complaints in that department.

Cheap packaging and also looks cheap. Tecno Phantom 5 looks more premium to this.

The camera interface is minimal. you do not need to consult the user manual to locate the settings.
The phone is equipped with 8MP front facing camera with Front flash and a dual rear camera with 13MP SONY Camera at the top and a 5mp camera below with the ability to refocus on your subject to get the required details.
Check out sample pictures below.

Trust me the packaging doesn't look cheap. I just felt they should've kept it simple.

It looks cheap to its previous, Phantom 5.

I've seen the both packaging and there's not really much difference. The most important thing is in the content and the phantom 6 is a major upgrade on the phantom 5 except of course the lack of fingerprint scanner.

I can see it has 2 rear cameras. Do they work simultaneously or you use dem separately?

Re: Tecno Phantom 6 Unboxing and first impression by shiftback: 11:19am On Nov 26, 2016

At the bottom of the phone is the dual speaker grills and the USB Type-C port for light speed charge and fast data transfer.
This is the first Tecno phone to come with the USB Type-C feature. The phantom 6+ also has it and both were released on the same day.

Re: Tecno Phantom 6 Unboxing and first impression by shiftback: 11:35am On Nov 26, 2016

As you would expect the phone comes with HIOS 1.1.0 Based on Android Marshmallow right out of the box. Will there be a Noughat update? We hope so.
I am a fan of the HIOS as it has a ton of customizations.
It has its own theme manager and the ability to change the font without the need to root your phone.

niggar your thought is not different!. Being redundant with already existing posts will not help nairaland. Phantom 6 talk is getting boring and it's same reason I've not check on this session for a week or 2. Keep your review to yourself and your family. Your phone has ni new features from the other posts we've seen.

The Phantom 6 is a dual camera phone while the 6 plus has the fingerprint sensor with 21MP camera.
