2) The Tecno Phantom 8 Will Cost You #128,000
phantom-8
Incase you've haven't heard , TECNO Mobile unveiled the Phantom 8 in Dubai on the 22nd of October and this is their best smartphone till date.

The Phantom 8 comes with alot of interesting stuffs such as 6GB RAM , Dual-rear camera amongst others.

For such a powerful device , one would expect it to cost an arm an a leg but this may not be the case because TECNO Mobile has unveiled the official price to be #128,000

At a media event in Sheraton Hotel , Lagos , TECNO unveiled the official price of the Phantom 8 to be #128,000 and the smartphone will be available in retail stores from the 30th of october.

I was present at the media event and i got a chance to "Play" with the Phantom 8 and was very impressed with the device. The camera is CRAZY good and is definately up there with the likes of Google Pixel and Samsung S8.

The only thing i didn't like is the design and i felt they should have done a better job. The phantom 8 has a metallic body but looks (and feels) like plastic.

If you want to see real life images of the new Phantom , have a look at this Phantom 8 Unboxing (disclaimer : its a sponsored post)
