Tecno Phantom X Formally Launches Today; Premium Cameras, Fluid Display, and Pricing Detailed

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.
