This Tecno Mobile Phone device is actually not in the same range as high spec devices like HTC One and also Samsung Galaxy S4 and the rest of them. Tecno Phantom A+ is different in terms of build, price and technical specifications but the fact remains that these devices are definitely not affordable to the ordinary Nigerian. Tecno Phantom A+ gives you some of the core features of these high end devices at a very reduced price and this is the whole idea of the Live Smart campaign.
Its Display And Camera Just seeing this as the first characteristics, then that should help you to know how good and wonderful it is.The ultra-large 5-inch capacitive touchscreen which is one thing I really appreciate as a hard- core mobile gamer. However, with a resolution of 720 x 1280 , the display looks pretty stunning. And also it has a 8MP camera at the back with auto-focus, geo-tagging, LED flash and also supports video recording. You can take pictures with a resolution as high as 3264 × 2448 pixels. It has a 1.2MP front camera too for video calls. Wonderful!!
Its Building, Weight And Size It is a little bit slim at 9.1mm, it weighs only about 0.1kg (actually about 141 g). It’s got a plastic back. So in order for you to protect your screen, the smartphone comes with a free flip cover that looks just like it’s a part of your phone.
Its Operating System And Memory This is complimented with a 1.2 GHz MediaTek quad-core processor and a 1GB RAM. This device is equipped with a 4GB ROM and comes with a 8GB SD card (which is expandable to 32GB).
Its Battery Life The battery can be removed. It’s known that Android OS sucks battery but surprisingly, this device comes with a free power bank. A rechargeable device that charges your phone in the absence of power supply. This device too has a torch that can last up to 50 hours. Meanwhile, this 2100 mAh battery has a talk-time of 12 hours and a standby time of 400 hours.
Its Network And Connectivity This Tecno Phantom A+ is a dual-SIM 3G device that supports GSM 900 /DCS 1800 / WCDMA 2100 MHz network bands. It supports 3.75G, WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS.

There’s an Assistant app that was a real surprise.
