Among such budget smartphones that have emerged to make expensive high end devices not so special is the all new Tecno phantom 8.
The tecno phantom 8 may not be as cheap as you would expect, but its referred to as a budget smartphone because of the price difference between it and the Samsung galaxy note 8.
In this article I am going to be doing a brief specification comparison to further buttress my point.
Without wasting more time, let us move straight to the comparison.
Tecno Phantom 8
The tecno phantom 8 is 5.7 inch in size, it features a metal build that's a bit different from what tecno users are use to. Its metal build has a glossy finish, tecno call it's design the diamond fire design, as it appears to a be shinny plastic from afar.
The tecno phantom 8 has a 5.7 inch full HD display with a screen resolution of 1920x1080.

The star feature of the tecno phantom is actually it's rear dual camera's.
The tecno phantom 8 features a 13mp+12mp dual camera system at the back.
The 13mp camera bears the Sony IMX386 sensor with an aparture of F/1.8 and 2X optical zoom.
The 12mp camera lens is actually a telephoto lens with 10x optical zoom which maintaines sharpness.
The tecno phantom 8 also features a huge 20MP front facing camera.
The tecno phantom 8 is kept alive by a 3500mah battery.
With this configuration the tecno phantom 8 will cost you about $370 which is 135,000 in naira.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8
The Samsung galaxy Note 8 is 6.3 inch in size.
The note 8 features a 6.3 inch quad HD super amoled curved infinity display with a screen resolution that is a reminisce of the S8, I say reminisce because the 2960x 1440 resolution on the note 8 facilitates a taller display.
The Samsung galaxy note 8 is wrapped in glass with an all metal frame build.
The Samsung galaxy note 8 is powered by a snapdragon 835 octa core processor, 6GB of ram, 64GB of on board storage with up to 2TB for micro-SD expansion.

The price difference between the phantom 8 and the Note 8 has great disparity between them.
The design, display and build of the note 8 is far better than the phantom 8's.
The helio P25 processor may be able to measure up with the snapdragon 835 processor a bit but the snapdragon 835 processor is not all about performance, the features on this chip makes it better than the helio P25 processor.
What actually brings the Phantom 8 and the Note 8 is the similarities in the specs sheet.
Though the phantom 8 has similar spec sheet with the note 8, actual usage will actually reveal their disparities.
Verdict: The note 8 is obviously and is better than the phantom 8.
But the BUDGET factor plays a big role here and gives the phantom 8 an edge over the note 8.
Just think about this; in reality the average user doesn't make use of all the features of the note 8.
The average smartphone user who takes BUDGET as a very big deal can get an experience with phantom 8 that is close to what you will get on the note 8.
For this I will say the phantom 8 is a best buy.
