It is difficult to find a premium smart phone that doesn’t weigh heavy on the pocket. Top smart phone brands have failed time and again in striking that balance in giving customers premium smart phones that will give them all the best-of-the-best UIs, Dual cameras, apps and general audio/ visual entertainment without putting deep holes in their pockets that take time to seal up.
But Tecno Mobile has found that balance between, being a premium smart phone and staying affordable for consumers with its upcoming lollipop 5.0 wonder!
I was at the Ikeja office of Tecno Mobile to meet with the Music Resource team working on a music library-kind-of-thing for their Boom player app (it’s a music app like iTunes of Apple).
It turned out to be a very informal chit-chat, seated at the meeting room my eyes caught the smart phone that my contact had placed on the table. He had excused himself earlier to answer an incoming call that was when I got my chance!
Swiftly, I picked the phone, looked through its specifications, took some pictures in a hurry and placed it back in position right on time as my contact walked in. At least I’d done enough “spying” to write about this smart phone and get readers prepared for what Tecno is about to launch:
FIRST LOOK
Two things made a first impression on me: the physical build and the camera support features.
Having a feel of this smartphone in my hands gave me such a premium feel I was almost certain it will be an official flagship device.
REAR AND FRONT CAMERAS AND FLASH
The rear camera had a 13MP Auto Focus inscribed on one side with two flash lights positioned on the other.
The front camera comes with a flash too! This is really exciting to see, as it will be great for taking selfies at night.
My guess for the front camera is a 5 or 8 MP, since I could not physically ascertain that.
Camera Shutter button
An interesting highlight of this device will be this button, which makes it a lot quicker and easier to take pictures in selfie mode and on-the-go.
I’m almost convinced this device has been made with quality image capturing in mind.
STORAGE AND MEMORY
A quick look at the storage and memory of this misery smart phone and what jumped to my eyes is 16GB storage and 1GB RAM.
The RAM capacity of this smart phone might seem like nothing out-of-the- ordinary but that doesn’t place its speed in the bland category-not bad at all. The iPhone 6 comes with the same RAM size if you come to think of it.
5.5’HD DISPLAY
With a wide screen display, about the size of an iPhone 6 Plus, the view is impressive with vivid colours, soft touch response and definitely a HD screen.

PRICE
When I asked my contact about the phone in the course of our discussion, he made light the superiority of this upcoming smart phone when he said the price will be in region of N20, 000! This phone could be the ‘Best buy’ for smart phones this 2015 half year!
This misery smart phone really was all I could take out of that meeting.
