TECNO phantom 9 Unboxing and Review


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO71_dUeQ2k&t=13s

After 21 months since the Phantom 8's launch, TECNO launched a successor with a 2019 design refresh, a triple camera set up, in-display fingerprint sensor, double the storage space and an AMOLED display, at a much lower price (N75,000 - N80,000) than the Phantom 8.

Do all these features make it worth buying?

Really poor device!! Helio p35 on a flagship device in 2019 ? No type c port, oversaturated screen, it already has problem with the fingerprint scanner as it still comes up after unlocking ;Duseless buggy hios and to top it all , a plastic body and a screen with no gorrlla protection!!!.. ignorant people will still buy it because of the useless in display fingerprint scanner... Totally disgusted!!! Tecno needs to wake the hell up

God forbid bad thing, I bought Samsung A30 for just #69,500 last month, am enjoying it and am quite sure the camera will be 70% better than this tecno flagship. Samsung, Nokia, Xiaomi and OPPO entering Nigeria and African Markets with their new midrange devices and excellent cameras and specs has really opened the bombom of Tecno and Infinix so well. I can surely predict the lose of market share for Tecno and Infinix before the last quarter of this year. it will be a great fall. Planning to upgrade to A50 by November. let Infinix sell their Zero 6 at #100k +. I will buy my A50 25mp + 25mp at #94k or even less, with a solid spec and build.

Lol. God don deliver me from them tey tey.

Mizik:
lol its now 90k..
A30 is 66700

Norman4real:
My main concern with this phone is the processor. I don't mind that it's a mediatek, but I feel that since it's their "flagship" device they should've gone with a much more powerful chip like the P60.

..........

That being said however I do not plan on buying a helio p35 phone, I'd want my next phone to be a reasonable upgrade. Even the Redmi Note 7 won't do. I think I'll need a proper flagship chip with a midrange price. Like the K20, or the next poco phone.

HeyCorleone:


Without a doubt. The X5 is P60.

Honestly anyone who buys this deserves to be placed in a madhouse.

Mizik:
by far ...
This tecno guys are mad

aytuns:
I'm happy people are beginning to see the thieves Tecno and Infinix are.. Imagine Helio p35 in 2019..chai

This phone should not be more than 45k..and thats even because of the wide angle camera ,else 40k,which will compete with the xaiomi redmi 7 that uses an SD 636

Rayhandrinni:
jesus, could've waited and gotten that oh

Simplep:
I think it depends on your location tho,they still sell as high as 100k here for a50 while it's 90k in lagos.a30 is 71k here

Jimgym:
I'm so impressed with the specs of the phone. The price is also good, a must have

Hello
When you unboxed your A30, did it come with any pre applied screen protector or just a bare screen?

eki2000:
It came with a pre applied screen protector, though it was a thin plastic not the usual glass we buy in retail stores.

redmi 7 uses sd 632 which antutu score is around 102000-110000.
Mediatek helio p35 score is around 85000
sd 636 antutu score is around 112000-120000
Bottomline is helio p35 cant even compete with none of the Snapdragon chipset above except sd625.

Now compare the price of the phones that uses the sd chipset above
redmi 7 is 45k
redmi note 5 sd636 cost 52k
lenovo k5 pro sd 636 cost 50k
almighty redmi note 7 sd 660 flagship of the mid range cost 64k for 4gb/64gb

Our dear tecno... let me not talk...

chigoziri2403:
I forsee the downfall of infinix and tecno phones in the Nigerian market, much better gadget are flooding the market
Since I ditched them and went for Huawei, no more complaints

naturefellow:
nd how are you surviving with a Huawei without Google support?

Norman4real:

You make a good point here. But also don't forget that there's usually a lot more to a phone than just the CPU. Anyway I don't think Tecno is charging a lot, I think the pricing is a bit fair. Especially when you compare it to the last phantom 8, which was a total disaster. At least this year they managed to bring the price down while introducing a better Amoled screen, better design with minimal bezels and even latest tech like the in-screen fingerprint. That being said, for those of us that want CPU power, this just won't do for us, no matter how much RAM is added.

eki2000:
please include Nokia and OPPO

horlahwaley:
well, i can see you are not really a tech savvy the cpu is the most important part in a smartphone cause it tells how smooth and fluid the ui, the camera and other hardware are going to perfom. It is because transsion rarely emphasize on the cpu they use in their device that is why most people are not well enlightened. if i bought a phone of 75k with crappy processor with an amoled screen but i cant play heavy games smoothly nor perform multiple task with it?, dont you think that is a waste of money.? if you need a phone for day to day activities then why spend 75k for that? a phone of 30k can do the basics and by the way amoled screens are over saturated. and are you talking about the indisplay fingerprint that is already reported failing on the tecno?
