TECNO R7 REVIEW #LiveSmart

I think I'm even more excited to do a review of the Tecno R7 now than before because everyday I discover new features that make me go "WOW"...This is the second Tecno phone I've used and I must confess, I am super impressed. Let's not call it a phone, it's actually a Phablet (phone + tablet) and it has dual sim ports (normal sim size). I will not babble for too long because I want to do a very easy to understand review for simple minded people like me that don't understand a lot of techie stuff. If you missed the unboxing of the Tecno R7 click HERE. I bet some of you just want to know if the phone good abi e no good...oya lets go!

The Tecno R7 is a sleek, slim stylish phone (phablet). Bigger than a normal sized phone but smaller than a tablet, it comes in different colours, Block, White, Champagne Gold, Sapphire and Bronze. I got the Black one.  It came with a power bank, earphone, responsive smart view cover, 2 pin charger, USB cable, user guide and warranty.  It is a dual sim phone (normal sim size). One thing I have to mention: this phone is very fluid and responsive to touch, navigating through pages and apps is just a breeze!

COOL FEATURES

• The Tecno R7 is supported by a unique DOLBY sound system to enable you enjoy the latest songs on-the-go. I listened to songs that I've listened to before and they sounded different (better) on the Tecno, I feel I can hear every beat, string, ting in a song! 

• Speaking of SPEED...the new Tecno R7 boasts of a Hexa-core processor. The first of its kind in Nigeria.

• If you're worried about scratching your phone easily, have no fear. With a 5.5 HD Gorilla glass screen, you can enjoy a scratch free screen. 

• It also comes with proximity gestures that enable you move through pages with a wave without touching the screen - oyinbo thing. I activated it by going to 'Settings'--> Click on 'Action' --> "Open Action" -> "taking operation" Box.  

• Did you know that you can answer any call by waving your hands over the screen of your Tecno R7? I've been showing this function to my friends and anyone who cares to see because I think it's super cool!

• Ah, I can unlock my phone with a voice command.... like "shokolokobangoshe" Tell me that is not super super cool!

• Tecno R7 comes with a Powerful Multi-task feature that enables you watch videos while doing other things like sending messages, pinging, etc all at the same time.

The Tecno R7 operates on  an Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and it has the OTA (over the air) update now available, which I upgraded. You get loads for storage-ROM of 16GB and RAM of 2GB. The MicroSD is expandable, up to 32GB. 3.75G Network, Dual SIM Dual Standby, Gmail, Google Maps

With a screen resolution of 720×1280 and density of 320 dpi, watching movies/videos on the Tenco R7 is a dream. The display is rendered by Mali-450 MP GPU. It has a  wide angle front-facing camera : 5.0MP BSI FF and a rear-facing camera : 13.0MP BSI AF Flash Light and you can do video calling. I've been doing loads of #selfies  *shines teeth

Price abi? The Tecno R7 retails between N42,000 - N50, 000 in Nigeria, you can check online stores like Konga and Jumia. I actually hoped this phone would come with full HD display (1080×1280) but it doesn't however, I am extremely pleased and have fallen in love with all other features of this phone. TECNO stays doing big things.
