Tecno Phantom Pad 2 G9 is a refresh of Tecno’s 8-inch tablet. The screen of this second iteration is not exactly 8-inch, but 7.85-inch (almost 8-inch). Looking at the specs it is almost similar to the Phantom Pad. However, the Tecno Phantom Pad 2 offers a sweeter design with slimmer bezels with improvement in display quality for a better experience when watching movies or browsing the web. Tecno Phantom 8 is the latest member of the Phantom series.

Affordable Tablet
Under the hood, the Tecno Phantom Pad 2 is basically the same tablet. It runs Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean) on a 1.3GHz quad-core processor with 1GB RAM. The only difference here is that the 2013 Pad came with 1.2GHz quad-core, which is not much of a difference on paper. However, given that Tecno have been playing with Jelly Bean for over a year now, we expect the Tecno Phantom Pad 2 to be better optimised for Jelly Bean and hence run more smoothly.
Tecno Phantom Pad 2 has a 7.85-inch IPS touchscreen with 1024 x 768 pixels resolution. It sports a 5 megapixels camera on the front and on the back. The rear camera comes with autofocus and LED flash with recording of 720p HD quality videos.
Pricing & Availability
Tecno Phantom Pad 2 is not available in Nigeria. We currently have no information on pricing and availability for Nigeria. Tecno Phantom Pad 2 price in Nigeria is expected to range from N35,000 to N45,000 at launch.
