Tecno Phantom X2 Series: DESIGN

TECNO Phantom X2 series keeps the curved display from the Phantom X but is now bigger at 6.8″. It’s an AMOLED screen in a 20:9 aspect ratio sporting a 120Hz refresh rate and P3 wide colour gamut. It is protected by Gorilla Glass Victus.

 The fast 120Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate make gaming and interacting with the phone interface buttery smooth and with no lag with the powerful chipset and RAM combo.

For biometrics, we get an optical under-display fingerprint reader and face unlock which is pretty fast.

Along with a selection of high-end features from a powerhouse Mediatek Dimensity 9000 processor 4nm 5G chip, which is a huge step forward in terms of performance to up to 256GB ROM plus 8GB expandable RAM memory and storage under the hood.  It also comes equipped with super-quick 45W fast charging with a 5,160mAh battery that can easily last for more than a day on a full charge, a 6.8 inches AMOLED screen with a 120Hz Refresh Rate, the TECNO PHANTOM X2 doesn’t lack anything, from the sleek design, premium features to high-quality photography, the Phantom X2 promises it all.

TECNO PHANTOM X2 SERIES: CAMERAS

Longer focal lengths create additional background compression, naturally softening and blurring the background to add depth to your pictures. This means you can achieve professional-looking portraits without the need for hit-and-miss software-applied blur. The PHANTOM X2 Pro boasts a shallow 18.9cm depth of field for more pronounced natural bokeh.

TECNO has also partnered with photographer Rankin to co-develop the PHANTOM X2 Pro 5G’s “Master Filters.” With multiple filters to choose from, creative photographers can tailor their images just to their liking. “The tech involved with this phone is extraordinary,” said Rankin. “It’s not just about taking good images quickly anymore, it’s about creating something visually stunning that we can be really creative with.”

The PHANTOM X2 Series also comes packaged with a number of Smart Business features to take these devices from selfie snappers to workhorses.

The Smart Business suite includes a bevy of systems designed to make your life in the business world easier. The Translator feature allows you to turn on live subtitles for international online calls, and you can enable it to automatically translate messages in WhatsApp, Messenger, LINE, Twitter, and more. With photo translation and face-to-face translation, you’ll never be out of the loop again.

If you take a photo of a document, the Smart Business File Secretary will recognize it as such and convert any text into an editable file. Awesome isn’t it?

TECNO PHANTOM X2 SERIES:  PERFORMANCE

Both phones ship with more than capable chipsets – they rock the Dimensity 9000 5G(4nm) and Mali G710 MC10 GPU chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 12GB for the regular and Pro versions respectively. You can expand either with up to 5GB of virtual RAM.

Also, the regular and Pro have 256GB of UFS 3.1 onboard storage.

TECNO PHANTOM X2 SERIES: Battery

The Phantom X2 series has a 5160mAh battery with support for 45W fast charging. The brick is included in the box and the cable and type-C charging cable. The Phantom X2 takes 20 minutes to go from empty to 54% and an hour to full charge.

Although there is a lot of room for improvement. However, for the starting price of the phones, we can commend TECNO for pushing the boundaries in terms of design, battery, performance, and cameras.

In conclusion, the TECNO PHANTOM X2 series is the perfect choice for customers who want the best of both worlds. With its combination of quality and sustainability, the PHANTOM X2 offers fashion and environmental responsibility.
