What we like about Tecno Phantom X2 Pro (12GB + 256GB)

  • World's first 50MP retractable portrait lens providing natural, creamy bokeh
  • Premium and unique unibody design often featuring recycled ocean plastic
  • Powerful flagship-level performance from the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset
  • Vibrant 6.8-inch 120Hz AMOLED display with good color reproduction
  • Excellent battery longevity with a 5160mAh capacity that easily lasts a full day
  • Fast and reliable in-display fingerprint scanner
  • Stunning 32MP selfie camera with great detail and natural skin tones

What we don't like about Tecno Phantom X2 Pro (12GB + 256GB)

  • Lack of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) on all rear camera lenses
  • HiOS software lacks refinement and includes unwanted bloatware or ads
  • No official IP rating for water or dust resistance
  • Display peak brightness (500 nits) can make outdoor visibility difficult in direct sunlight
  • Limited to a single bottom-firing speaker rather than a stereo setup
  • No support for wireless charging, a common feature at its price point
  • Poor historical track record for timely Android platform updates

Verdict

The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro (12GB + 256GB) is a premium smartphone featuring a flagship-level MediaTek Dimensity 9000 4nm processor and a striking 6.8-inch curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its main characteristics are the unique, world's first, 50MP retractable portrait lens which provides natural optical bokeh for professional-grade photos, and an ample 5160mAh battery that easily lasts all day. Key pros include solid performance for gaming and multitasking, a vibrant screen protected by Gorilla Glass Victus, and an eco-friendly design option made from recycled plastic. Cons include the phone launching with the older Android 12 OS, heavily-skinned software with bloatware and slow updates, the lack of an IP rating for water resistance, no wireless charging support, and a single, average-quality bottom-firing speaker.
