BUILD AND DISPLAY

Tecno Boom J8 is a huge upgrade to its predecessors, and was inspired by the hot selling predecessors (Tecno Boom J5 and J7) which were released last year. It has a plastic and metal trimming design. The smartphone is called a phablet device because it features a 5.5-inch IPS display featuring a screen resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels (320 PPI). It shows off a slim body with round edges to make the device awesome and fit well in the palm. The device measures 153.3 x 76.84 x 7.35 mm.

Camera,  Storage,  Performance And Power

There is a huge upgrade in the camera section of the Tecno Boom J8. The main camera comes with a powerful 13 MP sensor with LED flash, autofocus and HDR. While the phone front side sports fine 5.0 MP front facing camera for your selfies.

It has same built in storage capacity of 16 GB just as its predecessors and you will still be able to add up to 128 GB extra storage via the microSD card slot.

Tecno J8 is powered by a 64-bit Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 Mediatek MT6753 Processor on a Mali-T720 GPU and equipped with a 2 GB of RAM which should enable decent multitasking, but unfortunately, it runs the Android 5.1 Lollipop out of the box which is upgradeable to Android 6.0 and comes with new Tecno custom UI called Tecno HiOS Ui –  A feature that makes your 3000mAh battery last like a 5000mAh battery.

Streamelined Ui


The users will be able to customize the interface to suit their needs. A smarter and faster phone makes our life and business easier. After playing with the HiOS, I am impressed with what I saw, loads of online themes, fonts and wallpapers which are really beyond my imagination


The device juice is provided by an ample non-removable 3000mAh Lithium-Ion battery, which should do a great job. It has a Fast Charge technology – 15 min charge can give 8 hours of phone calls. The Tecno Boom J8 is now available for purchase at any Nigeria online and offline stores
