It has been a while since we last heard of a Tecno Phantom launch, over a year and a half after the most recent release of the Phantom 8 back in 2017. Like most of the 2019 releases, the new Phantom depicts a lot of transformation from the predecessor – sporting a number of the latest trendy features available in the industry.
These specifications, as detailed in rumours and renders, have a genesis of a 6.4-inch AMOLED display with a U-shaped notch cut-out and a 19.5:9 aspect ratio. This is a much wider plane than the 5.7 inches on the previous version, yet the upcoming device is said to be smaller and even more compact.
Among other features of this next Tecno flagship – the Phantom 9 – include an intelligent triple camera array on the rear, an improvement from the dual setup that we saw on the 8 and a bright 32 megapixel camera sensor at the front.
The smartphone will also ship with an in-screen fingerprint sensor – the first for a Tecno smartphone; and a really fast processor to it built on a 12nm architecture, and optimized for Artificial Intelligence (AI) Technology. .
It combines 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage to effectively run on the Octa-core 2.35 GHz Mediatek Helio P35 CPU. To this you add a PowerVR GE8320, gearing up Tecnos own HiOS 5.0 over Android 9.0 Pie. Not to forget, the Phantom 9 will have full support for dual 4G enabled SIM while powered by an internal 3500 mAh battery.
