Tecno Phantom X2 Pro Review: Midrange Smartphone with Retractable Camera
When discussing the affordable smartphone market, Tecno is a well-known brand. However, the business now intends to develop further and become more competitive in the area of mid-range luxury smartphones. At an event in Dubai, Tecno debuted its next flagship smartphone, the Phantom X2 Pro, with the same idea in mind. Let’s take a look at the key features, specs, pros, and cons of the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro.
Key Features of Tecno Phantom X2 Pro
Design
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is without a doubt one of the most attractive Tecno smartphones. The corporation has spent much on its design, giving it an upscale and sophisticated appearance. The elegant Tenco Phantom X2 Pro has a display and back panel with curved edges.
The front panel is dominated by an FHD+ display, while the back panel is comprised of renewable material, distinguishing it from other luxury smartphones.
The back surface provides a unique tactile sensation and makes the smartphone pleasant to grasp. Additionally, the unusual substance of the rear panel makes it resistant to fingerprints.

On the right side of the mobile device are the volume controls and the power button. The button section contains the charging port and stereo speakers, while the SIM card tray is located on the device's upper surface. Overall, the smartphone performs well in the design category and will be well-liked for that reason.
Display
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro has a 6.8-inch FHD+ curved display with a resolution of 1080x2400 pixels. On top of the display is a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Vitus for protection. The display's 120Hz refresh rate allowed for a fluid scrolling experience while using the smartphone. The screen is surrounded by tiny bezels on all sides, allowing for a much bigger display area.
In addition, the display provides broad viewing angles, allowing you to enjoy gaming and binge-watching sessions. We were unable to test the company's claim that the smartphone delivers decent sight in direct sunlight. Aside from this, the display is clean and clear, and the color reproduction is correct.

Hardware and Software
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is driven by an octa-core MediaTek Dimesnity 9000 processor with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. In addition, the smartphone supports 5GB of virtual RAM. Throughout our first testing, the smartphone operated well. On the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro, gaming and multitasking were likewise seamless.
In addition to a strong chipset, the Tecno Phantom X2 has a rather big battery. The company's flagship smartphone has a 5,160 mAh battery with 45W rapid charging capabilities. The manufacturer says that the smartphone can be charged to 50 percent in only 20 minutes. However, we have yet to verify this allegation. The dual-SIM smartphone has an in-display fingerprint sensor and dual speakers for enhanced audio output.
Regarding software, the Phantom X2 Pro runs the Android 12 operating system on top of the company's HiOS 12 layer. The smartphone has a streamlined user interface, however, there are several bloatware programs, some of which cannot be removed.
Also, there is no app drawer, thus all downloaded applications would seem crowded on the home screen. The smartphone is equipped with all the native Android 12 capabilities, which will be covered in the in-depth review when the smartphone launches in India.

Cameras
The Tecno Phantom X2 is the first smartphone released by the business to come with a detachable triple camera configuration on the back of the device. The back camera has a primary lens with a resolution of 50 megapixels, a portrait lens with a resolution of 50 megapixels that can be retracted, and a wide-angle lens with 13 megapixels.
The retractable camera only operates in portrait mode, as the name indicates, and it makes every effort to take a picture of the subject that is as good as it can possibly be.
You also get a front-facing camera with 32 megapixels for taking selfies. During the testing that we did, the camera functioned without any issues. The photographs that were taken inside came out quite well, displaying appropriate degrees of color reproduction and a high level of detail.

Battery and Charger
Moving on to the battery, the Phantom X2 Pro is equipped with a sizable 5160mAh battery that is enough to power the device for the whole day without any problems. You shouldn't have any trouble getting through the day with the phone, even with the amount of usage you put into it.
Instead of depending on the USB Power Delivery (PD) standard, Tecno has opted to deploy its own 45W charging technology. Although the charger that comes with the gadget does an excellent job of completely charging the device in a little over an hour, wireless charging is not an option.

Bottom Line
Tecno has made an effort that is absolutely commendable with the Phantom X2 Pro. The smartphone is more than capable of going head-to-head with OnePlus's Nord series and realme's Neo series. However, in order to provide a judgment that is more accurate and comprehensive on the smartphone, people will need to wait till it is released in Bangladesh.
