Tecno Mobile release Phantom A3 in Nigeria

Tecno Mobile has introduced the Phantom A3 android smartphone in Nigeria. It comes with 500 MB of free data per month for 12 months from Etisalat Nigeria. It is an upgraded version of the Techno Phantom A+, which came out a few months ago. The Phantom A3 has a sleek body and bigger screen than that of its predecessor; it comes with 6-inch HD touchscreen, 4.2 Android operating system, and 3.75g network capability, with a 1.5 GHz quad core processor. It is equipped with 16 GB ROM plus 1 GB RAM, a 13 megapixel rear camera and 8 megapixel front camera.
It also comes as an upgraded version of the Phantom A+ with a dual SIM capability, bigger HD touch screen at 6-inches and a much slimmer body at 8.4mm.  Arif Chowdhury, vice president of Tecno Group, said: “The device is designed with a passion to give everybody access to innovation and its affordable for everyone. It is part of Tecno’s unwavering effort in expanding its offering.”
The device also comes preloaded with the BlackBerry messaging service BBM which is available through a new partnership with BlackBerry, allowing Tecno devices to come preloaded with the application.
“Most people now access the internet through their mobile phones as opposed to PCs. We will be launching more internet series mobile phones to serve the growing demand of our customers,” said Chowdhury. The Phantom AIII will be available to customers in the country with free monthly data of 500MB for a period of 12 months on purchase and is being made available by Etisalat Nigeria.
It is note worthy that Tecno came into the Nigerian market with a goal to reduce the entry barrier, making accessibility possible for the lower cadre of the society. They offered mobile devices that function like other tech-enabled phones and can even receive broadcast signal for radio and television.
This definitely increased the number of phone users and SIM subscriptions since some of the phones came with a dual SIM option. The story doesn’t end there. Although Tecno is arguably the preferred mobile device of the masses, it isn’t the toast of metropolitan actors who define style and acceptable elements of social aesthetics with the type of mobile device you clutch.
