Tecno is known for making budget-friendly phones that generally lack powerful hardware. However, the Tecno Phantom X is here to change the game with advanced hardware and specifications, which are usually not seen on Tecno devices.

It also marks the launch of Phantom as a separate sub-brand that will focus on premium devices.
Upfront, the curved display is noticeable straight away, which is usually a mark of more expensive devices. This is a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution. It is protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and has a fingerprint sensor built into it, which unlocks the device in 0.4 seconds.
There is also a pill-shaped dual camera setup for selfies.
The Helio G95 SoC is at the helm of the device, which goes on par with the Snapdragon 732G in terms of performance. A vapor chamber is attached to this chipset, which keeps the device cool during charging and gaming. You can get up to 8GB RAM and 256GB of built-in storage.
The phone will boot Android 11 out of the box.
The camera hardware is one of the highlights of this device. The main lens on the back is a 50MP shooter featuring a large 1/1.3” sensor with support for pixel binning, laser autofocus, and dual-pixel technology.
Next is the 13MP telephoto lens that doubles as a portrait shooter, but with 2x lossless magnification. The third and last camera on the rear is an 8MP ultrawide module capable of capturing a 120-degree FOV. This setup sits next to a quad-LED flash.
The dual selfie camera unit includes a 48MP main lens and an 8MP ultrawide shooter.
Thanks to 33W fast charging, the phone’s 4,700 mAh battery is able to charge up 70% in only 30 minutes.
Tecno has not revealed the price just yet, but we will update this space as soon as we hear more.
