The TECNO PHANTOM X is a high-end smartphone that launched early in July, 2021. The smartphone packs a decent technical profile with the highlight being on its camera, performance and design profile.
That said, here’s what the TECNO PHANTOM X has to offer.

Design
The TECNO PHANTOM X packs a 6.7 inches SUPER AMOLED display. The display has a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels and a screen resolution density of 385 PPI.
The display is big, gorgeous and vibrant, just the type you would want for gaming and streaming content. The display is in fact of the strongest selling points of the TECNO PHANTOM X.
Dimensions: 163.5 x 73.8 x 8.7 mm
The TECNO PHANTOM X is aligned with to the PHANTOM design philosophy. So you get a solid design profile that is not only exquisite but the one that has the deliberate intention of inspiring envy. The design is just too good to miss.
Performance
Operating System: Android 11
CPU: 2.05 GHz Octa-core
RAM: 8 GB
Internal Memory: 256 GB
Micro SD: Yes
A 2.05 GHz Octa-core chipset powers the PHANTOM X and this is coupled with some 8GB RAM. The set-up is quite good and the smartphone can handle pretty much everything you through at it, be it graphic intensive games or apps.
However, an issue that pops up its head here is the choice by TECNO to go with the MediaTek Helio G95 chipset. This is in the context that whereas there is nothing really wrong with using a MediaTek software but I do think TECNO might miss out with the clout that comes with having a Qualcomm software.
For those not very familiar with the nerdy world of mobile processing systems, worry not, I got you. The mobile processors market is largely ran by two companies, Qualcomm (a US company) and MediaTek (a Taiwanese company).
Both the two companies have decent processors but Qualcomm often ranks higher when it comes to performance and brand equity. A smartphone that packs a Qualcomm will always get attention in the market.
The PHANTOM X has the objective of aiming to stand out from the market and thus from a marketing standpoint it would have made perfect sense for it to pack what can easily stand out on the market.
Other than this, the PHANTOM X offers 256 GB as internal storage and a dedicated micro-sd card slot. The smartphone runs Android 11 out of the box.
Camera
Rear Camera: 50+13+8 MP
Secondary Camera: 48+8 MP
LED Flash: Yes
The camera is the highlight of the TECNO PHANTOM X. True to this, the smartphone packs a 50+13+8 MP triple camera profile and a 48+8 MP dual camera for your selfies and video calls.
Battery
Battery Capacity: Li-Po 4700 mAh
A Li-Po 4700 mAh battery keeps the lights on the PHANTOM X. The battery is large enough to last a day or even two especially for the moderate user.
