TECNO PHANTOM A3

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.

48, 000 (320 USD)
