The LED flash provides the option of taking excellent shots in dim light, while panorama and HDR enable the use of alternatives when it comes to choosing from a variety of options that suits the occasion and moment.
Display

 Enabling smooth running of applications on the Phantom X2 Pro is 256GB 12GB RAM internally built memory space. The space is quite sufficient, and it is reasonable that Tecno did not consider having a card slot on the device.
