The all new Tecno S9 will definitely become your best companion to keep pace with the world’s trend. Empowered with advanced hardware, S9 is to bring you so much convenience and all others that will definitely surpass your expectation. It is  a very powerful tab that will meet your daily expectations. I’m loving it already, I initially wanted to get the Tecno P9 Phanton Mini Pad which I saw with a friend but then Tecno came up with this beauty!

Playing Frontline Commando on the Tecno S9 Pad

MY OPINION: It is a damn good tab, with an awesome gaming experience; the browsers are cool with various integrations. It runs on 1.3GHz Dual Core Processor with no lags whatsoever. It also comes with a flip case but no power bank. You’d love it if you are web designer, it’s that good. The graphics is great too. Games like Frontline Commando, Samurai, RF 2013, PES 2011, PES 2012 (I’m trying to get my hands on FIFA 14) are awesome on it trust me you won’t want to drop the tab when you are playing games on it. Are you a simulation games fan, would you rather be managing than playing? Then the Football Manager 2013 Handheld should be your ultimate companion with its massive database that captures even the most obscure leagues in Africa and Asia (Can you imagine Managing Enyimba, Heartland, Canon Yauonde etc?). I’m a gaming, music, movie & technology freak so I’ve got a 16GB SD Card to take care of my needs). The only caveat with it though is the camera, it has a 2.0MP BSI Rear Facing Camera & 0.3MP BSI Front Facing Camera, the quality is decent but not as great as the P9, you can Skype easily on it. What more, it can be easily rooted using Framaroot version 1.9.1 without even booting into recovery mode or using a PC or an internet connection.

ROOTING YOUR TECNO S9 PAD: Just download Framaroot 1.9.1 from any file hosting site like 4shared or dropbox. Install it then run, in the first drop down box, select “Install SuperUser” then move onto the next box and select any one of the three (Gandalf, Boromir etc)  to see which one will successfully root your tab. Once rooted you will be prompted to reboot the device. Congratulations, your tab has been rooted and SuperUser installed.
