Am bringing this to you my readers pretty
late because I was not aware of when it came out though I was waiting patiently
like a dog for it to be launched so you guys can have this first hand review
but as it is I am what they call in my country “LAST-MA”. I guess my apology is
accepted, with that done, let’s take a look at the latest Tecno smartphone out
there. It’s the new Tecno A3. Also in the league of other tecno flagship phones
which are the phantoms. So we simply have another phantom device out and it is
set to woo you guys. This is quite a big phone and falls in the league of the phablets,
guess you all know which set of phones fall in this category and if you do not,
then I guess you would fancy the idea of checking out my review on Infinix
Alpha. It comes with a 6” screen size and not really much of changes compared
to the Phantom A2 but like the name implies it has got some great features
which makes the A2 look petit compared to it. So for those of you who are
really fascinated about big screen phones, please use your seat belt because am
about to take you on a wild ride into the world of the Tecno Phantom A3.
Design: it’s selling point being its screen
size is one to talk about, possessing a terrific 6” says it all. So I guess you
all know this is way more like a very big phone and the biggest Tecno has
produced and would probably be among the world’s largest screen sized phones
rocking dimensions of about 160*82*8.9mm. It’s design is also superb, like
every other tecno phones, it comes in a rectangular form and has dimensions of
about . it comes in black and white.
Operating System: Some of us would have
expected that a phone released just a month after the lunch of the latest
android operating system would be stocked with it, but that is not what Tecno
is offering us here. Like the Phantom A, the Phantom A3 comes stocked with the
android version 4.2, but not to worry it is among the coolest android operating
system in town, though would have loved them to stock the phone with something
higher.
Memory: This is another talking point of the
A3, it comes with an internal memory of 16GB, cool and guess what, it also has
a memory card slot unlike most high end phones being produced now, with such
massive internal memory, you are pretty sure not to get a memory card slot to
expand your memory capacity.
It
also comes with 1 GB of RAM. I was expecting this phone to have something much
more than this, like about 1.5GB. I don’t really know why they did not stock
this phone with that.
Processor: It does not disappoint at this point,
it comes with 1.5GHz Quad core processor. Terrific you screamed right. Yeah,
all those cool games have met their match most especially when you look at its
GPU, this phone is really cool. And am sure lot of us would be looking out to
feed on this phone. We all can’t wait to get our hands on it.
Camera: For those of us who can’t stop admiring
what we look like and what other stuffs really mean, and most especially for
those of us who have fun going down the memory lane, the A3 camera is what you
want to have your hands on. Back camera is 13MP with an autofocus and also LED
flashlight, while the front camera is 8MP, so all those video chatting and
taking high standard pictures are all taken care of. So if you want all your
memory’s to be as fresh as they happening now then, this is a phone for you.
Battery Life: Have not gotten a
full review of the battery strength but it is the same kind of battery that
powers the A2 that also powers this device. And looking at the A2’s strength
and also the screen size and the rate of consumption due to it screen size, I
would say they should have had something a little bit above the regular. All
the same like I said have not really gotten a full review on the battery strength
so let’s still give it a thumbs up. And for battery suckers like me, this
device comes with a power bank like other Tecno A phones.
Price: The Tecno Phantom A3 has a reasonably
pocket friendly price considering the top tech specifications.
