Here Comes A Flagship Phone in Your Budget
The Chinese smartphone brand Tecno has landed in the Indian smartphone sector with its flagship device. The company recently came up with its flagship Phantom 9, priced at Rs 14,999.
At such a tempting price, Tecno is offering an in-display fingerprint sensor, 6GB RAM, enormous storage and a beautiful design. The Phantom 9 has already gained popularity among tech freaks like me and here is my Tecno Phantom 9 first impressions.
Design and Display
The Tecno Phantom 9 comes with a premium design. Supporting an elegant waterdrop notch housing front camera and sleek bezels, the handset does look good and has a thick chin at the bottom, which is pretty common in mid-range mobile phones.
A 6.4-inch AMOLED FHD+ display offers a resolution of 2340 × 1080 pixels.
On the back, Phantom 9 supports a dual-tone gradient finish back panel, which is in trend these days. A triple-camera module with LED flash at the rear is placed vertically within a small camera bump. Right below, there is Tecno branding. All in all, the device looks quite attractive at first glance.
