So much has been said already about the phone and a detailed review will follow in the coming days as I put the phone through its paces to see how it performs. Meanwhile, here's a quick unboxing.

Looks durable, price

Is it 2GB or 3GB RAM ?

Yes. The body is made of metal and its also surprisingly light weight considering its packing a 5000mAh battery

What phone didu use to capture this images?

Wow nice read! I even checked the blog for full specs, I'm so loving it. I can't wait to finally get mine.

Device looks nice. Great design too. Seems Tecno got this one right and the 5000mah is a good deal, Android 7.0? Superb!

Been using it heavily since the unboxing yesterday and I still got 57% juice left. Don't get me started on the Nougat. The split screen feature is badass on a 6inch device

Allow me to correct you, that's not real metal, its just a kind of alloy that gives metallic appearance just like the L8 was. And also that is not stock android, thats HiOS v2. It's an upgrade of the first HiOs so it looks different, but u can see the Hi-manager on the front screen.

lolz made in china, God4bid

1: Bar the Hi manager nothing in the Rom suggests its HIOS. All the usual HIOS apps are missing. This looks and feels like stock Android.
2: Alloys contain metallic elements so what are you saying?

This is from the Canon CX launch.
Look at that image closely and tell me what's written there.
Full metal build.
Aluminum Alloy.

Just passing by.

Remember to save towards the next Android 8.0 upgrade by getting a brand new TecNo L10. Of course powered by Android O, v8.0.

bro don't try to confuse me. We were talking about L9+ not camon cx

Lol....different phones same argument. You said L9plus's body is not metal but alloy and I told you Alloys contain metal properties and most people consider it metal. That image was for reference purpose

Am quite sure it has HiOs, I've had a chance to use one too but briefly.
The plastic-like alloys are just not the same thing as the metalic finish, compare that phone to the phantom and you will feel the difference. Or maybe get the black or blue colour variants of the L9+ and you will realise what I'm saying.

but it's a different material from what is used in the CX.
Cx has a full aluminium metal body. My friend there is a difference. I'm not saying that all metallic phones are not real metal, am just pointing out that for some phones it appears to be metal but really isn't.

I can tell a plastic from a metal when I see/feel one.

The phantom 6 is plastic, phantom 6+ is metal. L8plus is plastic, L9plus.... Check this image.

I understood you first time.

Was only referring to "Technology" brand, if I must explain further.

Never knew that sobriquete was your alternate! @MizMyColi.

No hard feelings tho.
