Tecno Phantom 5 a pocket-friendly high performer
The Tecno Phantom 5 is in every way a budget-friendly smartphone with high end attributes making its acquisition a deal for any user.
With trendy, classy and reliable being some of the adjectives that can be attributed to the device, the Chinese producer promises users the advantage of a high performance device at a manageable price.
And in that regard the smartphone doesn’t disappoint.
To begin with, the device comes in keeping with the maker’s convention of wowing from your start in a elaborate packaging.
More compared to the aesthetics, the packaging guarantees that the smartphone will endure no damage while on transit, hence relieving a buyer of unnecessary shock.
The inside of the packaging is yet compact and minimalist making unpacking it all the more a delightful experience.
The box includes the device, a protective cover, a travel adaptor, a pair of earphones, an USB 2.0 charging cable, a SIM key, and two SIM card adaptors.
The adaptors allow for an user to insert either a micro SIM or nano SIM depending on which size they’ve prior to purchasing the phone.
The protective covering adds the additional security for the glossy apparatus, safeguarding in the big event of a fall against scratches and dents.
The smartphone itself boasts a 5.5 inch monolith display, with a 1080 x 1920 pixels resolution and a 420 pixels per inch count making viewing a nice experience. The handset has dimensions of 151 X 75.8 X 6.8 mm and weighs 172 grammes.
The display has triple-layered Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection to keep scratches away.
On top of the display are the LED flashlight for illumination when shooting video calls, or selfies, an eight mega pixel wide angle front facing camera, a proximity sensor, when on calls and a fairly modest ear piece that will often come off as muffled.
This really is due to the size which at times forces an user when on a call to correct the handset.
The base of the the display has the capacitive touch buttons (exit key, menu button, and home button) with an extra capacitive button that minimizes the other three to allow more viewing space.
The top border of the phone made of plastic has a 3.5mm jack pin allowance, which places emphasis on the handset’s own minimalist layout.
The jack pin allowance nevertheless comes off as a gaping hole that’s possibly an unofficial store for lint from an user’s pocket.
On the left edge of the unit is the the SIM card tray which has provision for two SIM cards that are micro.
The opposite edge has the electricity/lock button, the volume toggle and the memory card tray.
At the bottom edge of the smartphone is the charging port which doubles up as the connector to a computer or other peripheral devices. On the right side of the charging port is the mic which could snare lint.
The rear of the smartphone features a 13 megapixel primary camera with a double flash light set next to it.
Right under that is a fingerprint sensor that is among the newer features made available from the manufacturer. Unlike adversary brands that let just one finger to lock the phone, applications and other characteristics, the Phantom 5’s detector can save as much as five fingers allowing for easy use.
Below the sensor is a minimalist insignia of the brand that will be a relief to users who have hitherto held that the branding is conspicuous in a manner that is not pleasant.
At the very base of the back is a broad Dolby Digital speaker, which coupled with the smartphone’s double sound equaliser capabilities, creates sound that is rich during media playback.
Coming to the internal workings, the smartphone runs on the Android Lollipop 5.1 operating system that has been touted as among the most responsive in smartphones.
The simple running operating system is assisted by a 1.5GHz octa-core central processing unit, a Cortex-A53 CPU, the MediaTek MT6753 chipset, and a Mali-T760 MP4 GPU all which make using the device an experience full of surprises.
The device’s RAM is 3GB which adds to the ease of running even RAM-intensive applications for example games on the smartphone.
In terms of storage the smartphone offers a whole 32GB of internal memory and this is expandable to 132GB via a microSD card.
All this is kept running by a 3000 mAh non-changeable battery which offers notable standby and talk time.
On the plus side, the handset is a good bargain for users looking to get an affordable device with flagship characteristics. There is barely little to bemoan with regards to features and functionality as the the apparatus is a proven performer running efficiently to match other high end brands.
The drawback to the device is the plastic top and bottom borders which will either break on impact or chip making the apparatus unsightly. Fortunately, the protective casing sold with the phone solves this. The casing also shields the aluminium back of the phone and by extension the fingerprint sensor to keep its functionality.
All in all, for N81,000 Naira, the mobile is a good purchase with the convenience of reasonable pricing against an above average offering of attributes on the device.
