Tecno Boom J7 : First Impressions

Tecno Boom J7 needs no introduction. You’ve seen it on TV , Heard it on radio , Read about it on Blogs. But how well do you know this smartphone? Android Nigeria got few minutes to play with this smartphone at Jumia’s techbloggers roundtable meeting few days back and we were totally impressed.

Hands-On , the first thing that greeted my lovely eyes was the red ring at the bottom of the front display (there is also a red ring at the back). That Red ring is more than just a home button. It serves as an LED light which blinks whenever you have a notification. Also , You can easily launch Boom Player (Music Player) by just pressing down the red ring for 5seconds.

The 5′ inch display on j7 has an impressive design. This device has a rectangular body with almost sharp edges. We noticed that Tecno removed its branding(name) from the top of the device and placed it on the back cover , This gives it a cleaner look.

The UI is pretty interesting. Of course , Boom J7 runs Android 4.4kitkat Os but you can easily mistake it for iOs . Tecno did a lot of customization on the User Interface. The UI is very sleek , the icons are flat and neatly arranged. Tecno combined the sleekness of iOS with the versatility of Android Os to give a wonderful user experience.

The selling point of this smartphone is the Boom Player , Tecno’s Music player. One of the managers of Tecno told us the boom player is Pre-loaded with 2,000 local and international songs. This device has inbuilt speakers and amplifier system to deliver the best music quality. Unfortunately we couldn’t test the boom player as there was not enough time and the room was also crowded.

Overall , Tecno boom j7 is very impressive. You are sure to get great value for your money. See full specifications HERE
