Someone redesigned the packaging for TECNO's Boom J8, and we think it's awesome

“So, TECNO Mobile recently unveiled their new mid-range smartphone, the Boom J8. Jesse Oguntimehin @JesseOguns will unveil the HiOS and Boom J8.

Aha! Nice attempt with the redesign. I will like to send a pack of the phone to Akanka design for them to play with for a week. They can contact me on Twitter to arrange this.

The new design really looks cool to the eye. But I still prefer the way the headphone was packed separately.

Talking about the boom headphones being packed differently, I am just hoping that all them Alaba boys won’t start selling the headphones differently oooo

Those brothers bad abeg

My thoughts too. Nice design outlook. But what about the headset? The designer from Akanka should have done a separate bit for that too. As far as I’m concerned, the headphone is what stands the Boom J8 out. It’s the major selling point for the gadget because we’ve seen nothing like it. At least, not in recent times that I’m aware of. So, in my opinion, if the designer wants to capture Tecno’s full attention, then the packaging should speak boldly about the headset too.

All in all, great job from the package “redesigner”.

The most enticing part of the package is the design…I love it.:kissing_heart:

Lol…yuu know right
Same thing one of my aunt said,but I was like "when you see just one pack and not two packs that TECNO packaged,won’t you flee?

Haha! Thanks Jesse. Taking you up on that. I’ll DM you today. Can’t wait to try them out. :smiley:

Thanks. Glad you liked it! Although I run the startup that did the redesign http://www.akanka.com our creative lead handled the redesign. The reason we focused more on the main package is simply because that needed more of the redesign than anything else. We liked the transparent cover of the headphone box which gives you a peek into the box without opening it. Barring a couple of very minor design tweaks, it’s alright really, so didn’t need to be focused on. Hope this helps clarify. Cheers.

One Word: Sleek…mehn this how designs are suppose to look like, simple and still maintaining that cool feel.

This is a good one. Apart from the fact that the Boom J8 is an all in one device, the re-designed is dope.

You nailed it!

I like the new re-designed one…looks really cool

He sure did

It is very cool

I know right…good thinking

Great work by akanka.com

So, I finally fulfilled my promise and sent you the phone.

What’s your testimony about the phone? Please share.

Haha. Certainly. So you want super concise 5-liner version or the longer bullet point one?
