TECNO Phantom 6 flaunt an amazing 6.15mm ultra slim design with premium chamfered edges, the new Phantom 6 now wears the crown as the slimmest smartphone with a dual rear camera, kicking hard the new iPhone 7 (7.3mm) and Huawei P9(9mm) that had previously tipped the scale on super slim smartphones.
Spotting the unconventional dual rear 13MP plus 5MP auto-focus cameras with LED flash, the Phantom 6 also stomachs an expanded storage space for better operations; running on 3GB RAM and 32GB ROM expandable to 128GB, and powered by 2.0GHz speed MediaTek Octa-core processors.
Display and design
Tecno Phantom 6 is one of the slimmest smartphones ever, and it totally deserves its nickname of Beauty. The phone has a full metal body, and comes in two main colors: Champagne Gold and Anthracite Gray. With an aluminum frame and a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 screen, the Phantom 6 is extremely resistant to physical damage. The back cover of the phone bears the dual rear cameras of the Phantom 6, and is non-removable. The back of the Phantom 6 is different from the back of the 6 Plus, which has a fingerprint scanner below the camera. At the top of the phone is a lone earphone jack, while a USB type-C port and speakers adorn the bottom of the phone. The quality of the speakers is a downside of the Phantom 6, with sounds at times coming out muffled
Processor and Operating system
Tecno Phantom 6 runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, with the latest version of Tecno’s HiOS Phantom 1.1.0. Tecno continues to make improvements on their custom ROM, with the Phantom 6 offering a wide variety of themes and designs to personalize your Phantom experience. Tecno Phantom 6 is easily Tecno’s most powerful device ever. With 3GB of RAM for its MTK Helio P10 CPU, you’d hardly ever find this device dragging. Tecno Phantom 6 CPU clocks at 2GHz, and with a 64-bit processor.

This is a beauty. The slim design is wonderful too. People may talk about the battery but the AMOLED screen and Helio processor should reduce energy consumption
I’ve checked both the phantom 6 and the 6+ out. I think will be hard to make a choice. As both are good phones. But then, the 6 is a beauty on it’s own. Sleek and elegant
I think the op made a mistake, the battery capacity for the 6 is 2700mah instead of the 4050 for the 6+. Nevertheless, it’s a nice phone all in all.
Tecno keeps making wave with this device and its partner, the phantom 6 plus. Impressive!!
