TECNO PHANTOM 8 CAMERA

The camera is surely one of the biggest highlights of the Phantom 8, it doesn’t come with Pro camera settings and the ability to shoot in 4K:

But this thing takes excellent pictures.

And as you already know, the Phantom 8 comes with a dual camera setup at the back the first camera is the main camera — this is also used for the 2x optical zoom:



And 10x digital zoom — as a matter of fact, you can operate the Phantom 8’s main camera without the secondary camera provided you are not using the refocus effect


And trust me when I say that you’d be tempted to continue taking pictures using the refocus camera because of how lovely the pictures are.









There is also the option to manually tweak the bokeh effect after taking the picture.

However, this effect doesn’t do well in low light condition. Plus, you must be 1.0 m to 2.5 m from the subject.

Now, Both cameras are missing OIS or EIS which means that you would need to have stable hands while recording (or use a tripod, instead). As for the overall quality, the Phantom 8 looks vibrant and it dealt with the outdoor, sunny, and cloudy shots much better and it also showed a lot of details.


I did notice that sometimes the shots were a bit saturated, but this isn’t something that is particularly bad.

The good stuff with the back camera can also be said for the front camera, the 20MP camera also did excellently well in low light condition.




BATTERY

With regards to the battery stamina, the 3500mAh on the Phantom 8 is okay to meet your daily needs, it lasted me the whole day on “moderate use.” I also did like a 15-minute battery drain between the Phantom 8 and the Note 4 pro which has a larger battery. After 15 minutes, the Phantom 8 drained 4% as opposed to the 3% on the Note 4 pro. Not so far off.



Lastly, I tried to stream a 16-hour video on YouTube using WiFi and I was able to get a 10-hour- 3 minutes screen on time with the brightness slider at minimum



CHARGING

I was able to get the Phantom 8 from a dead battery to full in an hour 49 minutes.



PERFORMANCE

For the performance, you don’t need to be told that the 6GB of RAM paired with a Helio P25 processor clocked at 2.5GhZ offers a smooth and fast multitasking experience. The phone didn’t show any signs of slowdown or lag during my time of usage.


Also, I tried to download highly intensive graphics game like the Lords of the fallen, Asphalt extreme, to name a few and the Phantom 8 handled it well. Still, on the performance, the Phantom 8 is also good at managing heat, it did get warm, but didn’t get past the hot mark.


IMPERFECTIONS

Now, no phone is perfect and the Phantom 8 isn’t either. So, asides from the issues I mentioned, I did notice that the auto brightness didn’t perform as I’d wanted it to, but this can be fixed by manually tweaking the brightness slider.



Also, there were several pre-installed applications like boom play and PHB browser, to name a few that kept on sending notifications, but just like the auto-brightness issue, you can fix this by uninstalling them completely or disabling notifications from these apps.



Lastly, the 2.5d glass protection on the Phantom 8 does attract scratches, but this shouldn’t be a problem since it’s replaceable and doesn’t affect the main screen.



Yes, a lot of us had an issue with the bezels on the Phantom 8 given that it looked like something from 2016, but the Phantom 8 does shine in areas that matter like the Camera, performance, and even the battery.

As always, let me know what you think of the Phantom 8 and all of its good and bad parts.

I am sure some of us have questions and concerns about the Phantom 8, questions that I’d try to answer in this review.



TECNO PHANTOM 8 REVIEW

BOOT TEST



Like with every other smartphone, the first thing you’d do when you get the Phantom 8 is to power on the device — which takes about 29 seconds and this places the Phantom 8 in the 4th position on the boot test leaderboard.



FINGERPRINT TEST

The next thing you’d probably do is to unlock the device and it would interest you to note that the fingerprint sensor on the Phantom 8 is incredibly fast and accurate, just a tap unlocks the phone:



You can also use the sensor to take a picture and accept calls.



DISPLAY

With the device unlocked, you are fully able to see the 5.7 FHD display.



The screen is not an OLED display, so you are not getting the super rich and vibrant colors specifically in the reds and blues.



But, overall, the Phantom 8’s screen is still a pleasure to look at, plus, sunlight visibility is quite good.



UI

The next thing you’d get to experience is the UI, which isn’t stock Android because Tecno used the latest HiOS — HiOS 3.0



The overall experience is a two-way thing —HiOS 3.0 right now:



If you do like it, you can further tweak the option by choosing between the single launcher — which places all the apps on the home screen:



Or the Standard launcher — this comes with an app drawer.



On the bloatware side of things, the Phantom 8 comes with a couple of them like, Recharge King, to name a few



All of which can be uninstalled to save storage.




STORAGE

Speaking of storage, the Phantom 8’s UI and Android’s OS has used up about 24% of the 64GB storage, so you only have about 48GB left, but there is the MicroSD card option.



MUSIC ON THE PHANTOM 8

For the Music lovers out there, Tecno is offering the Boom Play as the default music player, although you still have Google Play Music.



The audio quality on this thing is good, not overly loud, but it sure has a nice bass effect to it.



CALL QUALITY AND CONNECTIVITY

There are no issues with the call quality on this device.



As for the connectivity, the Phantom 8 was able to peg to all the 4G LTE networks tried it with, including GLO.

So no to jungle justice. But unfortunately, The sad part is that armed robbers do carry our "jungle justice" on their victims.


So why say no to jungle justice on armed robbers caught in the act?

Okay

Akuko. Let us know when they catch the murderers


Meanwhile, in order not to get caught at work, read this post

And this is on Frontpage?

If you're disappointed in this post, see this link. It's far better than reading something we already know.

https://www.nairaland.com/4148814/10-ways-look-busy-office

These days, bosses can give people work for Africa. And as the economy be, no bode de send you to even give you extra pay. Well, man no go kill himself as body no be fire wood.

Below or items to do in the office to show you`re working.

Pray your boss is not a Nairalander, if not all I`ll say is ABORT MISSION

Here we go:-

1. Never walk around without a document:
People with documents look like hardworking employees headed to important meetings. People with nothing in their hands look like they are headed for the cafeteria. People with newspapers in their hands look like they are headed for the toilet. Above all, make sure you carry loads of stuff home with you at night, thus generating the false impression that you work longer hours than you really do.

2. Use computers to look busy:
Any time you use a computer, it looks like "work" to the casual observer. (Never you use your phone to do office work in the office. No matter how sleek and fine your HTC, Phantom 8, iPhoneX or Xiaomi phone is) You can send and receive personal e-mail, update Facebook status, chat and have a blast on Twitter and other social networks without doing anything remotely related to work. These aren't exactly the societal benefits that the proponents of the computer revolution would like to talk about, but they are not bad either. When you get caught by your boss - and you will get caught - your best defence is to claim that you are teaching yourself to use new software, thus saving valuable training expenses.

3. Have a messy desk:
Only top management can get away with a clean desk. For the rest of us, it looks like we're not working hard enough. Build huge piles of documents around your workspace. To the observer, last year's work looks the same as today's work; it's volume that counts. Pile papers and files high and wide. Not all things should be kept carelessly o. If you use N128k to buy the phantom 8, nobody needs to tell you to be careful with it. If you know somebody is coming to your cubicle, bury the document you'll need halfway down in an existing stack and rummage for it when he/she arrives.

4. Don’t always pick your call and use voicemail:
Rarely pick your call and use voicemail most times. People don't call you just because they want to give you something for nothing - they call because they want you to do work for them. That is no way to live. Screen all your calls through voicemail. If somebody leaves a message for you and it sounds like impending work, respond during lunch hour when you know they are not there - it looks like you are hardworking and conscientious even though you're being a devious weasel.

5. Look impatient and annoyed:
According to George Costanza, you should always try to look impatient and annoyed to give off the impression that you are always busy.

6. Leave the office late:
Always leave the office late, especially when the boss is still around. (Not too late o before the bad guys will rob you of your new iPhone or your samsung Note 8 on your way home. That is if you live in bad neighborhood. Unless you drive home.). You could read magazines and storybooks that you always wanted to read. Make sure you walk past the boss' room on your way out. Send important e-mail at unearthly hours (i.e. 9:35 p.m., 7:05 a.m., etc.) and during public holidays.


7. Creative sighing for effect:

Sigh loudly when there are many people around, giving the impression that you are under extreme pressure.

8. Have a stacking strategy:
It's not enough to pile documents on the table. Put lots of books on the floor (thick computer manuals are the best), etc.

9. Build your vocabulary:
Read up on some computer magazines and pick out all the jargon and new products. Use the phrases freely when in conversation with bosses. Remember; they don't have to understand what you are saying, but you sure sound impressive.

10. Do not forward this to your boss:
Except you have found a new job, do not forward this Gospel to your boss by mistake.


Add yours

One by one, dem don de go.

Okay Okay, but this won't drift our attention away from $25B NNPC scandal and also Maina issue

Lordave:
One of the reasons I voted the Dúllard was an unshaken conviction that this Boko Haram issue would have been a thing of the past before now.

It's pathetic knowing I had such thought. Hypnosis perhaps.

Many of you were warned. But PRIDE, tribalism, ethnicity and bigotry didn't allow you people reason well.

Thank God you have started seeing what human beings were seeing then before election

How much is it?

People just didn't like Jonathan mostly because of tribalism.
