It is with no doubt that Tecno’s flagship smartphone; the Phantom 9 is by far now the best handset from the company. It being the company’s flagship took nearly two years to launch succeeding the Phantom 8 that was launched in 2017.

The Phantom 9 is highly upgraded with premium and trending smartphone features and specification particularly for a high-end device like it. The pricing is favorable — UGX919,000 cheaper than what the predecessor cost, and comes in a stunning beauty-looking Lapland Aurora color. It would be nice to have it without the rubber casing on, but we highly recommend to have it on to avoid fingerprints and scratches.

Well, in this article our Editor picks three stunning features on Tecno Phantom 9. Amongst all that comes with it, these are the ones we go with this flagship phone.

1. AMOLED Display
Today smartphone manufacturer’s are considering to have AMOLED displays for the newer smartphone devices — so does Tecno Mobiles. With the AMOLED display it at least offers much better and more natural colors than LCD screens. And the other advantage is that they use less battery consumption when viewing media.

The main benefit is that it will give you pure blacks, bright colors and strong contrast ratio. For instance say taking a photo with the phone’s rear camera which has been highly improved to give the best photos — gives a clean and smooth photos.

Paired with its 6.4-Inch huge screen, the viewing experience just becomes very good. You can zoom in the video to use the whole screen since most video screen ratio isn’t 19:9 yet.

2. Huge Storage For Media
One thing that consumers always consider when buying a smartphone is storage. How much storage am I getting from this phone? Is a question most ask. Now it’s best to understand that smartphone manufactures want to do away with microSD cards as expandable to only focus on the internal storage. Having a space of 128GB is really good and you can store as many over 30,000+ photos including videos without the need of an added microSD card.

With the Phantom 9 you get all this huge storage 128GB which is expandable up to a 1TB. But only 128GB that comes with the phone is so much better for your media storage. You can store literally as much media as you possibly want.

The Phantom 9 doesn’t need a microSD card to expand your storage. The internal storage 128GB that comes with it is literally enough.

3. In-Display Fingerprint Sensor
The most talked about feature on the Phantom 9 that happens to be one of its key selling features. The In-display fingerprint is one of the latest smartphone trends, and Tecno took advantage to embed it in the Phantom 9. And you happen to get it on a smartphone less than UGX1 million.

We mentioned the AMOLED display previously, well the In-display fingerprint is supported so Tecno decided to take advantage of it since AMOLED have no backlight, on the screen.

Even if it is Slow, but not unbearably slow and it shows that Tecno is keeping up with the latest smartphone trends giving its consumers a good user experience.
