Tecno Phantom 9 review

The latest Techno phone has some standout features that set it apart from its predecessor as well as other competing devices. The device’s camera, processor, display and sensor technology are all top-level.

Tecno Phantom 9 triple camera

The phone’s primary camera is made up of three sensors. The 16-megapixel primary sensor takes care of scene recognition and dynamic range. The secondary 8-megapixel sensor works as a wide-angle camera as well as what the company refers to as extreme macro photography. The third sensor has 2 megapixels resolution and helps the device capture images with professional-looking bokeh effect where the background is smoothly blurred.

Besides the triple camera layout, this Tecno phone can capture brighter and clearer images thanks to its quad-flash setup which lights up the subject using four flashes. Other additions include the use of artificial intelligence for scene detection and dynamic range. The front camera cleverly integrates powerful dual flashes on the small dot notch on top of the screen. Coupled with the 32-megapixel sensor and improved beauty mode, users can take perfect selfies even in low light.

Improved fingerprint sensor

Traditionally, smartphones have had fingerprint sensors on the back panel. However, this Tecno latest phone integrates the sensor under the phone’s display. While not exactly groundbreaking, it helps the phone keep up with the latest industry trends. The new placement of the fingerprint sensor allows easier unlocking as compared to earlier installations on the back. The device can be unlocked by moving one’s finger on the in-display fingerprint section.
