Tecno Phantom Pad II (G9) Review and Price

This is Tecno’s third tablet and is in my opinion way better than the first. The Tecno Phantom Pad II also known as Tecno G9 is now available in Nigeria and I just got one from a dealer N32,000 in Lokoja, Kogi State.

The tablet came with the following accessories; 2A charger, Ear piece and Rubber Casing

The android version 4.2.2 on this tab is the same as the one on the first Tecno n9 8 inch tablet but is much more fluid and sleek. This may be due to the newer mediatek 8382 processor on it. The former 8 inch tab used the older quad-core mediatek 8389. 

The volume keys and the power are located to the left of the tablet and the micro usb port is at the top of the tablet.

The icons are finer and the screen is sharper than the older tab. The size is 7.85 inches and is considerably smaller than the eight inch tablet. Check images below to see for yourself

Older one is the larger of the two

8 inch vs 7.85 inch

The rubber casing is transparent at the back and it switches off the screen if it is closed from the back and front. I think it should come with some magnetic pressure on it.

The tablet also has a new function called smart motion which puts your incoming call on silence by moving your tablet downwards to the left. This will be useful whenever you are in a crowd or public place.

BATTERY

Took me about 2 hours to charge to 100% from 10% and it takes an average of 8 to 10 hours of web browsing, playing light games like angry bird, etc

CONCLUSION

I will place this tablet above the Samsung Galaxy 2(s) and 3 tabs, and the older sibling 7 and 8 inch tecno tabs. This is because of the fluidity and sheer power of the processor.
