Imagine when you go to the store to buy a phone and then you are presented with an unexpected big box or say you order online, expecting to receive the regular sized phone pack and then the delivery guy puts a massive sized box to your face. Well I just gave you a tip as to what to expect when you choose to buy the new TECNO Boom J8.
TECNO has launched the Boom J8 smartphone, a successor to the music dedicated Boom J7 which was released a year ago. Specially made for audiophiles, you won’t expect less and to put an icing on the cake, TECNO has complemented the music function with an appealing design and a free Boom Headphone. A good combination of metal and plastic has taken the design to a whole new level.- YES new design which looks more like the iPhone, I think it also shares the same design with the InnJoo 2.
So here is what makes up the unexpected big pack: very soon you will begin to see people with TECNO headphones as TECNO is offering a free Boom Headphone along with the Boom J8, something to really spice up the audio experience. This headphone is packed in a blue box alongside the bright yellow box containing the smartphone itself.
Upon opening the yellow box, you are welcomed by the neatly placed Boom J8.
There is a sharp excitement that made me quickly take the phone out and have a look at its new design which is absolutely different from the predecessor and other Tecno devices. It is slim, made of plastic and metal, a more comfortable hold than the Phantom 5.
Opening further into the box, you have the USB cable, a charging plug and a small slim rectangular box containing a phone case.
Next is to open up the blue Boom headphone pack with a transparent see through top that teases you about the headphone itself.
So that is all you have in the box, The Boom J8 phone, USB cable, charger, phone case and a Boom Headphone.
Here is a rundown of the specification:
- Dual SIM
- 13MP camera
- Flash on both front and back camera
- New HiOS Skin (User interface) backed by Android 5.1 Lollipop
- 1.3GHz Quadcore processor
- 2GB RAM
- 1280 X 720 HD dispaly
- 16GB internal storage, expandable with a memory card.
Here is the unboxing video:
Whether the new headphone will deliver exceptional music quality and be able to stand side by side with the Beats by Dre headphone (you never know) – we will let you know in the full review that will drop in few days.

Good job from TECNO Mobile.
This is a welcome development
Weldon to them
Even though I am not much of a Tecno fan but have seen their CSR and it is impressive.
For me, this is absolutely amazing for me, I cannot imagine that I have a FREE headset attached to a phone and also the BOOM player v2.1
I’m expectant of picking up a copy of this phone ooo
Good resolution when it comes to graphics especially the camera. It exceeds my expectation.
I actually prefer the sound quality. That is why I like the boom series
So if the camera quality is bad, you wouldn’t mind?
Well, the camera should not be that bad. I am just saying that I am a music person.
I understand
Abeg, someone should dash me the headset oo
As In. The headset looks like beats headphones
This is a real music phone
Yeah, lol, I mean it comes with a headset
That, to me is the best part
I am telling you.
All the boom series are
Yep.
I like the fact that it has a 2GB RAM
It would be able to multitask with ease
Yeah, I hate slow phones like crazy
You can say that again
I read about the UI of the J8. Looks good o
I thought it was an OS
It is actually a UI. You should check it out
Alright. I will.
I would have bought the phone but 41k is too much for me
