NCP: It's 128k and not 250k to 400k. This phone wasn't built to challenge galaxy S8 n the latest iPhone. It has a specific market. 1 Like |

6G RAM is super duper for me. That means speed. Equivalents in Samsung and others will not be less than 500K |

Behankey: lmao, man you must think I'm a newbie in gadgets and tech. when i said they exaggerates their specs i wasn't saying it out of hatred or ignorance. i knew exactly what i was saying. exaggerating of specs is something almost all mediaTek device makers does. I'm not saying tecno or other mediaTek(low end) devices are bad, I'm just saying it would be unwise to spend 120k+ on one. go make a little research bout mediatek devices, sometimes a benchmark test holds no water, it's the physical usage of devices that matters... eg iPhone x blows Samsung Galaxy s8 out of the water in antutu benchmark test but in real life usage the s8 outperformed the iPhone x by a margin. peace |

Poor screen resolution (less than 400 pixels per inch) Can't shoot 4K videos inspite having a 20mp camera Missing OIS and EIS Fake 2.5D screen No screen protection (no gorilla glass, what fuckery!) Large bezels Not water- or shatter-proofed Outdated and extremely basic and glossy designs To crown it all, not a single innovation apart from the increased RAM, megapixels and ROM. To your question, can I pay 128k for this? Absolutely NO, there are lots of better smartphones in the market at same or similar price range. 1 Like |

jomonic: Do not be deceived by this RAM nonsense. An Intel i7 processor with 4gb of ram will perform more than a cherry trail processor with 8gb of RAM. The o4icesseor matters a lot here, u can't compare this mediatek to Snapdragon 830 with 4gb of RAM. Also those 16, 20 megapixel cameras means nothing without the correct lens or aperture. iPhone x and Galaxy S7 only have 12 megapixel cameras and they are better than all those 16 and 20 megapixel found on these Chinese phones. Samsung now use a 1.7 aperture lense with ois, why can't Tecno tell us the aperture they are using... Probably 2.2. |

Acidosis: All phones in this price range are 1080p phones. There is no phone selling new for sub 130k that has a QHD screen. Can't shoot 4K videos inspite having a 20mp camera That has nothing to do with camera but rather the processor Missing OIS and EIS How many phones do you know at this price range with an image stabilized camera? The cheapest I know is the Xiaomi mi6 ($370) No screen protection (no gorilla glass, what fuckery!) There is. The variant wasn't specified but my guess would be the 3 Large bezels Lol. You keep quoting $500 phone features. The Galaxy A series group of smartphones and iPhone 8s still have bezels. Small bezel/bezeless phones are pieces of smart engineering intimated by R&. Adding costs for R& D will see the price go up Not water- or shatter-proofed Forgive me for asking but can you give me sub 130k phones with ip67/ip68 water resistance? I seriously doubt that Outdated and extremely basic and glossy designs This design is not outdated. This design is still the norm of mid tier devices. Premium, high range smartphones simply moved to bezeless, 18:9 screens. Those cost $900-$1000. This phone is $345 Besides, HTC/Xiaomi/Oneplus uses glossy finish on their flagships. Nobody has complained. You're getting a very good design for $345 To your question, can I pay 128k for this? Absolutely NO, there are lots of better smartphones in the market at same or similar price range. There aren't "lots" in that price range. The only 2 new smartphones that can favorably compete are C9 Pro (more expensive, uglier looking), and Honor 9. The only issue I see with this phone is the processor. It's very disappointing. A higher MTek or snapdragon 625/653 woulda been better. Save for that, this phone is competitively priced especially in that packaging. Cheers |

olahero: See the kind nane sef. Wtf is UMIGIDI? If it's only this one and the Tecno that is available on this planet I will choose the tecno gladly, I mean the name alone is a turn off and both phones are basically the same. At least if I break the screen of the phantom 8 I can easily get a replacement, I can get screen protectors and case. Abeg where u want get accessories for this UMIGODO abi na wetin u call am.

Decale: Galaxy S6 (2015 phone): 1440 x 2560 pixels (577 ppi) https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s6-6849.php At only 125,000, it is in fact cheaper than Tecno phantom 8 Confirm price here: https://www./samsung-galaxy-s6-32gb-platinum-gold-5548718.html The phantom phone is ridiculously outrageous So what's the essence of having a 20mp camera that can't shoot ordinary 4k video?
Samsung Galaxy S6 and it is sold for only N125k, even the 2014 Galaxy S5 has the OIS. We are in 2017 and Tecno can't find a way around that due to zero innovation and research. They just spend money hosting street music and dance shows around Lagos Mainland (Ikeja under-bridge especially). What kind of brand grow under such condition? Why is it not specified? That's fraudulent. That screen is no gorrila screen, more reason Tecno, Infinix and the likes have mastered the act of providing you people with N100 and N150 screen protectors (they actually call it gift) to protect that scratch-able, fragile and weak screen.
Bezel-less is not a big issue. Umidigi, Xiaomi, Oppo, etc. all have bezel-less phones in the range of N120-170k. Please o, stop quoting outrageous dollar prices from thin air.
Again, Samsung Galaxy S6
Again, Galaxy S6 has a glass finish (both back and front are made with scratch resistant glass finish). Xiaomi mi 6 is made with a ceramic finish with gold accents. One of the most beautiful phones ever, in the league of S8 and it cost just a little above the ridiculous glossy steel Phantom. You think that glossy 'stainless steel' is premium?
Update yourself o bro The only issue I see with this phone is the processor. It's very disappointing. A higher MTek or snapdragon 625/653 woulda been better. The only issue I see with the phone is that it lacks innovative thinking. Simple. You cant continue to increase RAM, camera pixels and ROM year in year out and expect people to be impressed. How much is 6GB RAM on Alibaba? I'm sure it is less than $3. 1 Like |
