Photo Announcement. Tecno Phantom X2 and Phantom X2 Pro - retractable camera and top hardware

Tecno held an event today in Dubai, far from us, where smartphones were announced Tecno Phantom X2 and Tecno Phantom X2 Pro. (As well as the MegaBook S1 and MegaBook T1 laptops).

Top hardware, rounded screens, excellent batteries. Plus a curious set of cameras in the older model. Yes, smartphones differ mainly in cameras. Well, colors. And the older version has more RAM. Everything.


Tecno Phantom X2 Pro

In order.

Last year's MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. On the one hand, quite rare. On the other hand, without a doubt, the flagship�nsky. In terms of parrots in AnTuTu, it is comparable to the top SnapDragon's - about a million.


Tecno Phantom X2 Pro

Memory. 8 GB of RAM for the younger model, 12 GB for the older model. Permanent memory is always exactly 256 GB. No memory card support.

Huge AMOLED screens. Diagonal 6.8" (112 cm²), resolution 1080x2400 (387 ppi), refresh rate up to 120 Hz. Apparently, not LTPO, without the ability to dynamically adjust the refresh rate.

Batteries are plus or minus standard. Capacity 5160 mAh. Cheerful wired charging - 45 W.


Tecno Phantom X2

Front cameras, apparentlyy, identical - 32 MP (sensor - Samsung ISOCELL GD2).

The set of rear cameras in Tecno Phantom X2 is rather trivial and, I would say, does not reach the flagship level. 64 + 13 + 2 MP - the main camera, wide-angle, plus something small incomprehensible. The brand of the sensor used is unknown.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro with cameras is much more interesting. 50+50+13 MP.

  • 50 MP - main camera with top-end Samsung ISOCELL GNV sensor.
  • 50 MP - portrait (telephoto) camera with 2.5X magnification. It is interesting that it is retractable. Those. when you switch to 2.5X mode, the camera will crawl out ofbody by a couple of millimeters. Like good old cameras. (Slightly below I will give links to the first reviews, they, of course, show this). What is a little embarrassing, the sensor here is the simplest - Samsung ISOCELL JN1.
  • 13 MP wide-angle camera.

Other. There are NFC modules, Type-C, the fifth Wi-Fi. There are no standard audio outputs. Fingerprint scanners are hidden under the screens.

Environmental blah blah from the press release. I wonder if it sounds just as terrible in the English version?

"PHANTOM X2 Pro stands out with a limited eco-version made from ecoorganic materials. The back of the PHANTOM X2 Pro smartphone is made from biodegradable materials. The body is made from 50% recycled plastic, which was collected in the Indian Ocean. It is completely biodegradable without harming the environment."

There is no information about the cost of the devices yet.

The top model, Tecno Phantom X2 Pro, has already been given out to select English reviewers. And even the first reviews have already appeared. I hide them under cat.
