Tecno Phantom 8 with 20MP Selfie Camera | Specifications and Price in Nigeria, Dubai, Ghana, India

Tecno Mobile recently unveiled the latest in their Phantom series dubbed Tecno Phantom 8 in Dubai with powerful specifications. Tecno decided to skip Phantom 7, and unleashed this monster of a device which is a successor to Phantom 6 and 6 Plus.

The Phantom 8

The Tecno Phantom 8 sports a 5.7-inch screen with about 75.1% screen to body ratio compared to the Phantom 6 Plus that has a 6-inch screen and 74.5% screen to body ratio. The Screen of the Phantom 8 is an IPS screen which is protected with a Corny Gorilla glass to prevent accidental scratches.

Tecno Phantom 8 comes with a dual-camera set up with Sony-made IMX386 12MP and 13MP sensors at the back as suggested by the teasing pictures Tecno released on social media prior the launch date. However, it has 12MP selfie shooter with 2X optical eye zoom, but the second sensor trumps it with up to 10X Super Zoom. Below are the rest of the device specifications.
