Tecno Phantom 6 Plus Full Specs Review and Price in Nigeria, Kenya & Ghana

Phantom in the English Language means something elusive or a ghost, so it was a surprise to deep thinkers when Tecno mobile decided to name their 2015 flagship device the Tecno Phantom 5. However, things are about to become more ghostly as Tecno is all set to launch its 2016 flagship device, the Tecno Phantom 6, and it’s coming with a big brother this time named the Tecno Phantom 6 Plus.

Tecno Phantom 6 Plus Expected Specs

I already described what to expect in the Phantom 6 in a previous post. So what’s the difference between the two? In what way(s) is the Tecno Phantom 6 Plus going to be better than the Phantom 6?

Short answer – Not much difference, but important ones. In a lot of aspects.

Long answer – Find out in the Tecno Phantom 6 Plus specifications review below.

Tecno Phantom 6 Plus Specifications

Tecno Phantom 6 Plus

Display & Design

The Tecno Phantom 6 Plus is close to a phablet, sporting a 5.95-inch IPS Touchscreen display with a Full HD (1920 * 1080) pixel resolution which displays sharp images from wide viewing angles.

Like the Phantom 6, the Tecno Phantom 6 Plus is designed with metal which gives it a premium feel when held in the hands. It is 7.7mm thick and comes in Champagne Gold colour.

Memory & Performance

In terms of System on Chips (SoC), there is not much difference between the Phantom 6 Plus and its standard variant. It is powered by a MediaTek Helio X20 Processor which saves 30% more battery life than its predecessor. The processor has ten cores with a speed of 2.5 GHz. This is paired with a Mali-T880 GPU to ensure that the phone runs smoothly all the time.

The Tecno Phantom 6 Plus comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB internal storage capacity, which can be expanded up to 128GB via the microSD slot that comes with the phone.

Battery

Things are not different here also; the Phantom 6 Plus comes with a non-removable 4,050mAh Li-ion battery, just like the Phantom 6. Sadly, it doesn’t come with any fast charging capabilities :'( .

Connectivity

The plus-sized smartphone supports 4G LTE network connectivity through a dual micro-SIM slot. It supports wireless connectivity with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Wi-Fi Direct, and wireless file transfers are made possible with Bluetooth 4.2 A2DP.

The world is drifting towards a system of payment with mobile smartphones, and Tecno acknowledges that in the Tecno Phantom 6 Plus by including NFC capabilities. Location determination and navigation is enhanced with GPS & A-GPS, and you’re allowed to share the battery juice of the phone with others through the USB Type-C port which gives it USB OTG support and allows it to charge fast.

Camera

At the rear of the Phantom 6 Plus is a dual camera setup, each having 21-megapixel lens and Autofocus. A LED Flash is thrown into the mix to give you the power of true mobile photography. Worthy of note is the fact that the rear camera can record videos at a resolution of 1080p and rate of 30fps (frames per second).

The Phantom 6 Plus sports an 8MP camera unit at the front which is accompanied by a LED flash to allow you take beautiful selfies even in low-light conditions. It is important to note that the front camera is locked at autofocus.

Software and Hardware

The Tecno Phantom 6 Plus comes with an Iris scanner, Accelerometer, Proximity sensor and stereo speakers as you would find in the Phantom 6. It, however, has one notable advancement in hardware, which is the presence of a fingerprint scanner at the back of the device.

The Tecno Phantom 6 Plus boots Android 6.0 Marshmallow out of the box, upon which the latest version of Tecno’s custom UI, HiOS version 1.0 is built. The smartphone is also compatible with Tecno’s smartband, the Tecno T-band.
