Tecno mobile is at it again. Just a while back, roughly 6 months (precisely in May), Tecno launched a groundbreaking smartphone device, the Tecno Phantom A and later following it up with a Phantom A+. 
Now, they've announced the arrival of a new flagship smartphone device, the Tecno Phantom A2 which is a follow up on the Phantom A+. <a name="more"></a>

While the Phantom A comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS and a 1.0GHz dual-core processor, the Phantom A2 sports a 4.2 Jelly Bean OS, a quad-core processor with 1.2GHz frequency and support for 3.75G networkk. It comes packed with a 2630mAh battery (whereas the Phantom A packs a measly 2100mAh battery). 
The Tecno phone makers have also stepped up their game with a 13MP rear camera and a whooping 8MP front facing camera.
The Phantom A2 device is thinner than the Phantom A by 0.2mm appearing  8.9mm thick and looks very promising with it's 5.7'' screen. Great for lovers of large screen. And beats the Phantom A+ in screen size, battery capacity, camera and slimness. Where the later packs a 5.0" screen display, 2100mAh battery, 8.0MP rear camera, 1.2MP front camera and 9.1mm thickness! 
It's full features and specifications have been outlined below:
