Also, the thickness is much. A quick glance on the dimensions says it all 193*111 *9.5mm.  Tecno S9 bottom mic Personally, we think the Tecno S9 is a bigger and thicker version of Infinix Alpha aka X570 especially with the placement of the sim slot compartment.  Volume keys are at one side of the phable...
