Having sold 45 million units of its mobile devices in Africa last year, Tecno Mobile at the weekend launched the latest of its mobile phone devices in the Phantom series, known as Phantom 5.
Unveiling the new mobile device in Lagos, the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) said it had to design the latest phone in such a way that it would be attractive and irresistible to Nigerians and the rest of the African people.
Its Digital Marketing Manager, Jesse Oguntimehin, said: “Phantom 5 is fully optimised for work and leisure, with an embedded MediaTek TFA9890 Octa-core chipset.”
“The Nigerian market is fast maturing. What we see is an increasingly segmented space where end users buy phones based on key features like music, camera and internet connectivity, which are all included in Phantom 5. Tecno is positioned strategically to meet the mobile needs of each segment with quality music, camera and internet connectivity phones from our product line.”
Tecno Mobile Media and Public Relations Manager, Miss Hanane Karroumi, said the accuracy and speed of the Phantom 5 touch sensor, remained unbeatable and fantastic, having a scanner that reads 360 degrees user fingerprint and in just about the same instant that the finger makes contact with the rear grove.
Tecno believes that its brand loyalists can now enjoy the long awaited touch finger print identification from the leading mobile phone device manufacturer, as it unveils Phantom 5, which is TECNO’s first fingerprint touch sensor that is mounted on the rear of the smartphone device.
Phantom 5 comes with a 13 megapixel auto focus rear camera that takes bright pictures even in low light environments and it has become the first with natural boom sound stereos with zero sound distortion.
Deputy General Manager, TECNO Mobile, Mr. Chidi Okonwo, said the device comes with the latest Android version, the Android 5.1, which allows easy use of different mobile applications on the smartphone.
He said a lot of research work was carried out before the phone was finally designed and released, putting into consideration the needs of smartphone users in Nigeria and the African market. “Based on the research work, the Random Access Memory (RAM) of the Phantom 5 was improved and increased to three gigabyte. The internal memory is up to 32 gigabyte with expandable features, which allows customers to stream and download video and television contents and store them in an expandable memory, using up to 64 gigabyte external memory card,” Okonkwo said.
The phone comes in fantastic features, with powerful front and back flash light, metal back over, yet very light and slim, for easy handling.
The new TECNO Phantom 5, comes with a lot of features that will bring great entertainment to its users in the areas of music, internet connectivity and video streaming and download, including bright picture snap shots that are taken at night or in dark environments.
Some of the outstanding features of TECNO Phantom 5, include the 6.8mm thickness of the phone, superior low light performance, which enable users to take bright and sharp pictures at any time of the day, including night and in dark environment, eight megapixel front flash camera light, fast video streaming and download, quick music streaming and download, and it comes with FM Radio and embedded with up to 10 fingertips lock device, which allows up to a family of 10 to unlock the mobile device with ease.
