ollah1: Listen and listen well, I don't know hw much you were paid to be on every tecno thread spewing thrash. I don't care about the body that came for the lunch and nobody said it's not a good phone but it's simply overpriced.
There are loads of phones of its calliber which is quite cheaper and offers better specs and updates. The chipset used is 2013 SoC. Common, there are phones with snapdragon 808 and 620. There are phones with MTK hello x10 which is also cheaper. It's simply overpriced that's the bottom line
But that's the thing, the Samsung is great but the Phantom 5 has 3GB RAM 32GB ROM finger print sensor, Dolby sound, octacore and HDDD To me, that's so much better. I will personally go for the Phantom and I advice u to get it too.
braskey: The phantom5 seems cool, but go for S5 .. you won't regret it. Water resistant. 16mp.. Dope shots. Ultra power saving mode. 2gb ram.
I've read on blogs that the Phantom 5 received OS update this month and will continue to update new OS. The phantom5 is quite a nice phone + it is affordable
salvo583: s5 is better, the phantom5 that might be stucked in its present o.s. If ure thinking of getting a mtk device cos u can tweak n glo bis wud work dont decieve ursef because we all know glo data netwk is wack
If you had DSTV you would have been able to watch the Tecno launch on EL TV yesterday. That's where I saw it. I don't need to work for Tecno to states facts. I have a Tecno phone and I'm proud of it. All this BS you are are yarning is getting old. Besides, I don't think I would be able to afford the Phantom 5 if my salary was N100.
Karmanaut: Lmfao. >Standards Organization of Nigeria. Putting the word "standard" and Nigeria in the same sentence should be an actionable offence. As if any body takes Nigerian standards seriously.
Also. 100 NGN has been deposited in your Tecno agent account. Keep shilling.

For all of you that think that Tecno is not a real phone, the Standards Organization of Nigeria and Consumer Protection Council were at the launch of the Phantom 5 and they approved the phone & said it met up to requirements. In case you don't know who SON and CPC are, GOOGLE IT! 70k is actually very affordable for a flagship device.
We get it, you don't like Tecno. News flash: Many people actually like Tecno.
ollah1: Samsungs finger print don't just unlock phones. It can be used to make purchases through Samsung pay, PayPal and Android pay. It can be used on Google play.. it can also be used in place of stored passwords. So it can't be compared in anyway.
Furthermore, those hyping this phone should know that there are other Chinese phones that would guarantee you quicker update and much more better, also cheaper.

That amount can also get you super clean used HTC m8 Samsung Galaxy S5 Samsung Galaxy note 3 Sony Xperia Z3 LG G3
Nice, but these phones are not that common in Nigeria, what will happen if they get faulty. Are there parts sold here?
Babanhajiya: Doogee F5 Elephone P8000 Ulefone Be touch 2 UMI Iron Doogee F3 pro Xiaomi redmi note 2 The above mentioned phones have everything that Phantom 5 can boost of, but interestingly each one cost less than 50k. I wonder why Tecno agents think they can deceive us on nairaland.
You wrote that yahoo boys and runs girls will buy the phone, abi? So what the hell should I read again and what am I digesting? Does your sentence mean something else? 70 k is not a huge amount of money that you will be saying only yahoo boys and runs girls will buy it. Maybe you haven't seen 70 k in your life before so sorry, I didn't know. Another thing: I'm also sorry I am oppressing you with my English, I don't even know why you would be offended. Maybe you are offended because you chose not to pay attention in school. You can't even type it full. What is "de"? Let me just give you some advice; When applying for a job, please make sure you write in full.
espionagesavvy: De typical african, they never understand a statement, but quickly tries to disparage and insult, to show they can write in good english. Young man I never implied dat, read my comment nd digest properly, nd secondly, it's free speech.
First if all, 70 k is not such a huge amount of money, I dont understand why there is so much drama around the price. iphones sell for N250,000 for heavens sakes. There is a difference. You actually need to read the specs before you start saying this. FIY the Phantom 5 has a metallice body, 3GB RAM and 32 GB ROM and many other features. I believe that if you want to argue, state out actual facts
espionagesavvy: The average nigerian is stupid, 70k for a techno, and people are buying that piece of garbage, what can make a techno phone that pricey, the company is just properly trying th break out from its obscurity as a big brand, so it purposely hyped the price, and de best place to sell a piece of stainless or plastic junk with wires, and a screen is to the african man, what makes this techno phone different from the last techno product, is there any improvement. I don't think so, instead of buying a cheap chinese crap, I use de money to buy a more qualitative phone...
Finally got a video out, I had some issues with my camera, but I had to do the video anyways.
The first video, is me testing out the sound quality on the Phantom 5 and yes I had to use an LED TV. reasons I used it has been explained in the video. So watch and tell me what you think.
So you are saying the only people that can afford the phone are yahoo boys, ritualists and runs girls?? You are the epitome of myopic, uneducated and probably jobless
espionagesavvy: Na all these yahooboys, ritualist and runsgirls dey buy this rusty piece of chinese junk.. 70k for phone, dem swear for me..
Rex123: If this isn't another re.tarded statement, I don't know what is? Judging people cos of the accessories they use? Lol!!! What won't I read on nairaland!
Why does it bring shame to you? If u like the specs why can't you own one? You are shallow and probably fake too.
Cuteclem: I love mtk devices last time I bought a new tecno phone I bought a razor blade along side to scrap the name off it but my friends still know is tecno so I sold it. The name tecno brings shame to me I can't spend 70k on a shameful phone no offence
