The Samsung Galaxy S3 is one of the most popular smartphones in Kenya. The S3 officially launched more than two years ago but still ranks high even among newer devices. It features some decent looks coupled by an equally amazing design.
The Techno Phantom is another major player in the Kenyan Smartphone Market. It sold under the banner of being an ‘affordable’ Samsung Galaxy S3. It took the emerging markets of Kenya and Nigeria by storm.
The Techno Phantom A left techies in awe of how flagship grade features could fit in a device that costs almost half the retail price of the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Without any further ado, here is a one on one comparison between the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Techno Phantom A.
