Good phone but only sleek and not as durable as expected. Used mine for almost 2yrs and the next thing it stopped working, took it to carlcare and was told the Board (Panel) is expired, I’ve never heard such before in my life. Now I was charged 25k for replacement. Another way os scamming us in this country. I think I have to stop using all this Chinko product.

That is correct. 🙂
Is there any chronic problems about tecno boom J8?
None that I have heard of. Many people using it seem to be enjoying it.
The battery is only 3000 mAh, I’ve seen it.
From what I read on the Tecno website, the battery capacity is 3800mAH, not 3000mAH. you might wanna effect the necessary corrections.
Hello Obama, thanks very much for the information, we will look into it!
