Phantom 8: Tecno’s new flagship challenges competitors



The fast-rising global manufacturer of smartphone, Tecno Mobile, has unveiled a new brand, Tecno Phantom 8. At the unveiling at Jumeirah Beach Hotel, Dubai, were ace actor Odunlade Adekola and popular tech You-tuber Eric Okafor.

The device has 20 megapixels front and back cameras with 12 megapixel and 13 megapixels configurations. While reviewing  the phone with this writer, Eric Okafor, who is the founder of howtotechnaija.com, said “the refocus camera feature on Phantom 8 is a conversation starter. “My friends on social media suddenly aren’t shy to ask if I used a phone or an actual camera to take amazing portrait shots. Everyone wants to look good and that’s what Phantom 8 offers,”he said.

Ace Nollywood actor Odunlade Adekola explained the optical power of the product from the perspective of a film producer. “The technology behind it is so wonderful. From the camera point of view, the refocusing part of the camera is beyond imagination and the battery is very strong,” he said.

The dual-lens back camera enables the phone to achieve depth of field as identified by Adekola.  The main camera is a 12 megapixel SONY IMX386 sensor with f/1.8 lens and improved low light photography. Other features, which complement the power of the camera, include a TRI LED flash, 10X Zoom, Autofocus, portrait mode (refocus), Auto HDR, Night mode, Superpixel and smart filters.

The portrait mode is found in the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus. In the iPhone 8 Plus, the Portrait Mode is embedded with Portrait Lighting, which uses the camera sensors to light the subject’s face in real time. Both Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone 8 have the dual camera feature.

Techno Phantom 8 does not only match Samsung’s and Apple’s flagships in terms of camera technology, it also boasts of 6GB RAM, and 64GB storage. These are same specifications with Samsung Galaxy Note 8. However, Apple  offers 64GB as standard storage, with up to 256GB scalable storage without the need for MicroSD. That is currently unbeatable.

Tecno Phantom 8 promises to offer the best experience in photography and design. The product couples form and functionality; presented in a slimmer and lighter metal rounded-edges frame. As a luxury product, it has a 3D diamond design at the back. The device has an appealing aesthetics and architecture. This is an attempt to measure up to Samsung Galaxy Note 8’s exceptional and futuristic packaging.

Obviously the consumers were  expecting Phantom 7, but the company said it tasked its’ engineers to double up and produce Phantom 8. Reviewers said it is a bid to keep pace with  Samsung’s and Apple’s previously launched Galaxy Note 8 and iPhone 8, respectively.

Tecno Phantom 8 is targeted at upper-middle class. It comes in Champagne old, Galaxy Blue and Phantom Black. Tecno mobile is known for spotting global trends and producing local-driven solutions. The brand, with competitive presence in India, the Middlle East and Africa, has kept its market share on a positive gradient.

Although an Africa and Middle-East brand, Tecno’s strategy of “think globally, but act locally”, positions it in the same niche with Apple and Samsung. Techno Mobile engages idea thinking and native intelligence in a bid to beat competition in its territories.

EPL Top Scorer, Harry Kane to Miss Man United Clash Against Spurs...Find Out Why



As Tottenham Hotspurs are set travel to Old Trafford for the lunch-time kick-off on Saurday, the club have confirmed that their star striker, Harry Kane will miss the massive Manchester United clash with a hamstring injury, and watch on from the sidelines.

The 24-years-old has scored a league-high eight goals in the Premier League this season. The England ace who has scored 17 times in just 13 games for club and country this season, looked to be in pain towards the end of Tottenham's 4-1 win over Liverpool last weekend.

Following the knock, Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino had all-but confirmed the potential injury, and when quizzed on Kane's availability, the Argentine chief said: "We'll see, we'll see.
"We need to assess the team because we were forced to rotate [against West Ham] for different reasons and we'll see what happens in the next few days."
Now Tottenham have confirmed Kane is in fact injured, but have failed to state how severe the knock is or how long he could be out for.

However, Pochettino did reveal: "We cannot take a risk with Harry. It is only a small injury but there is no sense risking turning it into something more serious."

The injury also puts Kane in doubt for the huge Champions League clash with real Madrid at Wembley on November 1.

Kane already missed Spurs' 3-2 defeat to West Ham in Carabao Cup midweek, with Fernando Llorente tasked with filling his boots.

The news will come as a massive blow to Tottenham fans, who would have been itching to see what Kane could do against United.

Both clubs are sitting on 20 points in the Premier League this season, with the game already gearing up to be a real six-pointer.

Neymar Receives Ban



Paris Saint-Germain forward, Neymar, has been suspended for one match, following his red card against Marseille on Sunday.

This means the Brazilian will sit out their match against Nice on Friday.

Neymar was sent off late in the 2-2 draw in Le Classique after clashing with Lucas Ocampos, who may have over-dramatised the incident.

It was his second yellow card in three minutes.

At the time of his dismissal, PSG were 2-1 down. But Edinson Cavani managed to earn a point with a late free-kick.

Neymar will face a further one-match suspension if he commits the same offence before the end of the Ligue 1 season.
