The Tecno Phantom 8 is a 2017 mid-range flagship targeting African markets with a 5.7-inch Full HD IPS display and MediaTek Helio P25. Its dual rear camera system pairs a 12MP and a 13MP sensor — both full-resolution image cameras rather than a depth pairing — alongside a 20MP wide-angle selfie camera. With 6GB RAM and 64GB storage it aims to deliver a premium experience at an emerging-market price.
