A few hours ago, I shared a post about the upcoming Phantom phone without knowing the official name they’d go with, or the phone’s specifications.
However, TECNO Kenya has since confirmed the name, and availability in Kenya, saying the device is expected to go on sale in the second week of July. Pricing is yet to be announced. But since we now know the full specs, we can estimate a price point of between Ksh. 25,000 and Ksh. 32,000.
It looks eerily similar to the amazing Huawei P30 Lite as you can see. The differences here being the under-the-display fingerprint scanner, the AMOLED display and the processor. Of course, if I get a review unit, I will want to compare the two devices.
The following specifications will be updated once fully confirmed.

What are your thoughts and expectations? I personally have questions about the Helio P35 as it is not a very powerful chip. I do not understand how it will support 3 lenses.
I also cannot wait to see the device in real life as renders aren’t always 100 percent correct and there could be things we currently don’t see.
