Editorial report
Tecno Phantom 9 technical sheet
The Tecno Phantom 9 suits buyers who want a sharp display in a light phone, but its battery holds less than most phones launched around the same time. Its 6.39-inch AMOLED display has a 1080 × 2340 px resolution and 403 ppi pixel density, better than that of most phones from its time. At 164.4 g, the phone is also lighter than most, and its 7.9 mm thickness is slimmer than most phones launched around the same time.
The 6 GB of RAM is above average, while its AnTuTu result of 87,730 is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time. The rear main camera has 16 MP, alongside an 8 MP ultrawide camera; the main camera’s resolution is above average. There is no optical zoom. The 3,500 mAh battery is the clearest compromise, and connectivity is below average for phones of its time.
Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack cover the listed connections and extras. It runs Android 9 and does not receive direct operating-system updates. The AMOLED display, pixel density and low weight are its strengths; battery capacity and the AnTuTu result are its main limitations. Its NeoScore is 4.3. This is a better fit for buyers who put screen detail and portability ahead of battery capacity and benchmark performance.
