Tecno Boom J8
Are you in the market for a
budget-friendly smartphone that promises great multimedia experience? The new
Tecno Boom J8 might just pique your interest. The Boom J7 follow-up comes with
a huge IPS display, a 64-bit processor, more RAM, better cameras and a Boom
headset.
Not a lot of efforts went into
concealing the budget status of the Tecno Boom J7 in terms of its appearance.
The story has changed with its successor. Although the Tecno Boom J8 still
sports a plastic body, the design is more appealing to the eye. It is rimmed
with a metallic frame. The look is more high-end this time. The handset crams
in a massive 5.5-inch IPS display raising expectation of great wide viewing
angles. That expectation is a bit tempered, though, by an HD resolution of 1280
x 720 pixels – still decent for a device like this.
The Tecno Boom J8 is better-equipped
than its predecessor for shot-taking. The main camera has been bumped to 13
megapixels and it features LED flash and autofocus. The selfie snapper has also
received an upgrade to 5 megapixels. It will supposedly come with flash for
impressive low-light selfies. For storage, the phablet offers integrated
capacity of 16 GB, which is expected to be expandable by up to 128 GB using a
microSD card.
With a quad-core MediaTek MT6753
processor under the hood, the Tecno Boom J8 looks ready to deliver enjoyable
performance for a low mid-range smartphone. The 64-bit CPU is clocked at 1.3
GHz. It is paired a Mali-T720 graphics solution and RAM of 2 GB capacity for
comparison, the Boom J7 had 1 GB RAM. The handset is supposedly the first to be
powered by Tecno's newly-designed HiOS software, a custom version of Android
5.1 Lollipop.
For superb sound, the Tecno Boom J8 will
be accompanied by a Boom Headset. Audio quality is tuned by Maxx Audio
technology, which ensures you enjoy great sound both via the loudspeaker or
headphones. The phablet is accompanied by a large 3,000 mAh Li-Ion battery with
fast charge support and an ultra power-saving mode. It supports dual-SIM
feature and LTE connectivity.
