|  Tecno Phantom X2 Pro
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro price in Kenya is 79,999 shillings. The device has a 6.8 inches 120Hz AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels with 500 nits brightness. The Phantom X2 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 (4 nm) processor with Mali-G710 MC10 GPU. The phone has 12GB RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, it runs on Android 12 on top of HIOS 12 and all this is powered by a 5160 mAh battery with 45W fast charging. It also has a triple rear camera setup with a 50 MP primary camera, a 50 MP retractable telephoto camera, a 13 MP ultrawide camera, and a 32 MP front-facing camera.
Design and Build
The handset has an ergonomic design that resembles the Phantom X2. Measuring 164.6 x 72.7 x 9 mm and weighing 201g, the device has nicely rounded edges, a flat front, and back, with a slight camera bump. The Unibody Double-Curved Design is a confirmation of the master touch on the X2 Pro. It has a precision-crafted streamline and delicate texture.
It is a piece of art that lances futuristic aesthetics and extreme hand feeling. With the X2 Pro, you will feel the ultimate elegance at a touch. The device is made from a plastic back, glass front (Gorilla Glass Victus), and aluminum frame.
 Camera Set-up
The selfie camera comprises of a powerful, single 32MP (wide) camera capable of taking high-quality snaps and 1080p@30fps video shots. At the rear end, the Phantom X2 Pro packs a triple camera set-up consisting of:
- 50 MP, f/1.9, (wide), 1/1.3″, 1.2µm, PDAF camera
- 50 MP, f/1.5, 65mm (telephoto), PDAF, 2.5x optical zoom, retractable lens
- 13 MP, f/2.2, (ultrawide) sensor.
Like the Phantom X2 main camera, the X2 Pro is capable of taking 4K@30/60fps, and 1080p@30fps video shots and recordings. 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
Tecno invested in a tamper-proof, Corning Gorilla Glass Victus protector. Boasting a 6.8-inch AMOLED display, the Phantom X2 Pro screen is modest and will give the user a great experience when browsing the internet or browsing through multimedia. A high 120Hz refresh rate keeps the device at peak, with no slags during use. 500 nits provide the use with above-average brightness which enhances user experiences. combining the 500 nits of brightness with ~387 PPI density makes the Phantom X2 Pro one of the best high-end smartphones available on the market in 2023.
 Performance
Tecno Phantom X2 Pro runs on Android 12, complemented with HIOS 12 software skin. A more customizable UI enables better user experiences and use in most preferred appearances. An Octa-core, MediaTek Dimensity 9000 (4 nm) processor and Mali-G710 MC10 GPU are essential in enabling speedier response to user commands, multi-tasking, and playing video games on the handset. A MediaTek Dimensity 9000 (4 nm) chipset is considerably faster, more efficient, and more powerful compared to previous chipsets installed on techno devices.
 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.
Network
Tecno has taken up an aggressive stance in developing high-end smartphones, with the Phantom X2 Pro, like its X2 predecessor being 5G enabled. With the handset, the user is certain of fast uploading and downloading speeds, besides great experiences when browsing the internet and accessing heavy files online.
Battery
Powering the Tecno device is a powerful 5,160mAh battery that enables lighting up the large and bright screen on Phantom X2 Pro, applications in the background, and responding to multiple commands on the display. Supporting the massive battery is a 45W wired charger, capable of charging 1-54% of the battery in 20 minutes and 100% in 60 minutes.
