Phantom 8 – Full Unboxing Pictures and First Impression
The TECNO Phantom 8 is one of the best phones released in 2017. The excellent camera and the premium design are some of its great features.
TECNO skipped the Phantom 7 to keep pace with the likes of Samsung and Apple who already have launched the Samsung S8 and the iPhone 8 respectively. This is not the first time a smartphone maker will skip a particular number, Samsung jumped from Note 6 to Note 7 last year.
So without much ado, let’s unbox the Phantom 8.

The device is housed in a black rectangular box having the inscription of the phone name on both sides. There is a moisture -resistant nylon wrapped around the box giving the box a nice finishing.
You also have a quality Assurance seal at the left side of the box-telling you not to accept the package if it’s broken. Well, you may have to look out for this seal when making a buying decision.
Opening the box reveals the usual accessories you will find in TECNO packages. It is a fully accessorized package to be honest. A unit of power cable, USB type C cable, a transparent back case, user guide, Sim ejector tool and pair of earphones.

At the right side you will find the volume controller buttons and the power button.
The back houses a dual 12MP + 13MP cameras with TRI-TONE LED flash and just below them is the fingerprint scanner. The fingerprint scanner double as a camera button and also for unlocking the phone

Overall, the design of the Phantom 8 speaks premium and is very solid in the hands. The Phantom 8 debuts with 12MP + 13MP dual back cameras which is exceptional during my experience with phone. The 6GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage which is expanded to 2 terabytes via a Micro SD card and plus the fact that the device now supports global 4G will go a long way in making a buying decision.
The device will retail for N128, 000 in Nigeria and can be purchased across all TECNO retail outlets starting from November 1, 2017.
