Tecno first announced their premium phone, the Phantom X, last month after the Tecno Camon 17 launch. Hitting the African store shelves later today, the Phantom X will go official in Nigeria and Kenya at a virtual event. It should be coming to more markets in the weeks that follow. We have the pricing and specs to report.
Tecno Phantom X has a curved display with slim bezels and a wide pill cutout in the corner. It’s a SuperAMOLED panel that stretches 6.7” across, delivering a crisp 1080P resolution and a fluid refresh rate of 90Hz. The shell is made of glass and toughened with Gorilla Glass 5. It comes in Monet Summer and Starry Night Blue.
A triple-camera cluster is neatly arranged inside a rectangular camera strip. It’s housed right on the center of the backplate. The frame includes a 3.5mm audio jack and a slot for storage expansion. We find an optical fingerprint scanner hidden underneath the screen.
Phantom X has a high-end, versatile camera featuring a 50MP wide lens powered by Laser AF, a 13MP telephoto lens with up to 2x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultrawide camera. A value-for-money phone at an affordable Tecno mobile price.
The selfie camera is a dual array made of a 48MP camera for standard portraits and an 8MP ultrawide lens for group selfies.
It’s all powered by the MediaTek Helio G95 and a 4700 mAh battery. Tecno Phantom X can quick-charge over 33W (it’s advertised to deliver a 70% top-up in just 30 minutes.) You get 8GB of memory and 256GB of internal storage. Android11-based HiOS runs on the phone right out of the box.
