Tecno’s Phantom 5 has been released into the wild for N69,999. There are plenty of reasons for choosing the Phantom 5 over the Camon C8.
While we love the design of the Camon C8 and the leather back for firm grip, we do think that the Phantom 5 offers so much value for its price.
Clearly, the Phantom 5 is in a league of its own. It is large, having the best hardware ever on any Tecno smartphone and even includes a fingerprint sensor for an extra layer of security. Don’t forget to check out the list of top Tecno smartphones in the market right now.
So why should you choose the Tecno Phantom 5 over the Tecno Camon C8? Here are our top three reasons.
1. Tough Metal Shell/Chassis
Tecno Phantom 5 is designed out of an aluminium shell with thin bezels at the sides. It’s the first full metal smartphone produced by the Chinese OEM.
Leather casing is pretty cool, as seen on the Camon C8 but it is nothing compared to the classy metal shell on the Phantom 5. Tecno nailed it with this design concept.
3GB RAM
The size of a smartphone RAM really does appeal to many, it’s the reason why the Phantom 5 blows every other smartphone targeted to emerging markets out-of-the-water.
Tecno Camon C8 is equipped with 1GB RAM, which means the Phantom 5 will run faster and smoothly in performance comparison
Fingerprint Technology
Tecno Phantom 5 is equipped with a 360 degree no-dead-angle fingerprint recognition, with an unlock speed of 0.7 second.
The smartphone delivers top-of-the-line fingerprint technology from leading Swedish FPC Company.
Unfortunately, this dedicated security feature isn’t available on the Camon C8.
So there are our top three reasons to buy the Phantom 5. If you have any doubts, just head to a retail outlet and try both smartphones before you take a leap.

I live the fact that it has a 3GB RAM. I hate slow phones so much. The metal casing is cool, that means it would be durable. I love this phone
