A quick review of the Tecno phantom 6
Its very obvious that TECNO decided to take it to a whole new level since there is high demand in quality plus high competition in the mobile market. I must commend the effort in the design and overall specifications of this device.
Major Inprovements
The Phantom 6 is Equiped with a 5.5 inch AMOLED screen , 3GB RAM , 32GB internal storage and 2700mAh battery.
Design
Secondly, Tecno Phantom 6 is is equipped with an incredible design and slim body measuring just 6.15mm ; very different from that of the last years flagship the Phantom 5 .
Still on the design, the Tecno Phantom 6 has a 5 layer Full metal body which proves to be more durable with a slight curve around the back to enable more grip.

More so, the body is made up of a Nano molding seamless metal unibody, a firm fastener, a non-detachable battery design , and an aluminum magnesium alloy frame with a corning gorilla glass v3.0 wich helps protect the screen from scratch and cracks its also safe to say that each of the above mentioned layer adds a unique element to the overall appearance of the device. From bottom to the top.
Camera
When i said that tecno took it to a whole new level, I realy meant it the Phantom 6 will definately interest in the camera aspect for those who loves taking pictures Tecno decided to make it big for its lovers by signing major deal with the likes of SONY in other give the best quality images out there, the device comes with world class camera sensors manufactured by SONY.
Tecno Phantom 6 comes with 13MP and the other with 5MP resolution , making a total of 18MP. The 13MP camera detects the view , while the 5MP camera provides more depth and clarity to the picture. Note that this same camera setup was used on the Huawei P9 and the iPhone 7 Plus smartphone.

Security
The Phantom 6 provides a biometric iris scanner which scans you eyes before unlocking the device.
Your eye can be used to add an additional layer of security on the Phantom 6+. The Phantom 6+ eye-scanner is built with the latest eyeball recognition technology to make it safer for you to either encrypt or unlock your phone with your eyes. Just like in the CAMON C9
Android 6.0 Marshmallow

The HiOs is known to provide better customization , with plenty of themes and wallpapers to choose from.

commentsGood but no magnetic sensor which i can't do without
ReplyWow! They should have made the battery capacity bigger. 2700 mah is to small if you ask me.
ReplyI don't think it too small, but the phantom 6 plus has a bigger battery of 4500mAh, u can check the specs above
ReplyIt is great device, waiting for it to be officially launched though.
ReplyYeah...25th of September is already here
ReplyWAOOOH Nice review...
Replyi Cannt wait to see this tecno phantom 6... tecno is about to give birth to the best of it kind..
The phones have been launched and they haven't disappointed us. The skin design of the 6 and the 4Gb Ram of the 6+ makes them extraordinary
ReplyYeah sure, TECNO is realy out for business this time, glad you liked it
ReplyI'm really impressed with the eye scanner and fingerprint detector.
ReplySure!, the phantom 6 plus features a triple security system
ReplyI bought mine but i cant connect to my pc even if i select the MTP option. it still remains charging? somebody help.
ReplyTry using a different USB cable sir
ReplyYou would have to download the MTP from Microsoft store. In that case you wouldn't have any issue. Same happened with my Phantom 5.
ReplyAfter that, restart your system, then go to device manager and update it again
Great product from Tecno Mobile, just like Infinix products, cheap and affordable with outstanding features.. I just bought this tecno phantom 6 some days ago, is cheaper when comparing it quality with samsung product.
