If you are looking for a flagship smartphone that offers a premium design, a stunning display, a powerful performance, and a versatile camera system, you might want to check out the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro. This is the latest and most advanced device from Tecno, a Chinese brand that has been making waves in the African market, especially in Nigeria. In this blog post, I will share my review of the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro and tell you why I think it is one of the best smartphones you can buy in Nigeria right now.
Design and Display
The first thing that catches your eye when you see the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is its sleek and elegant design. The phone has a curved glass back that reflects light beautifully and feels smooth in the hand. The frame is made of metal and has a matte finish that adds to the premium feel. The phone comes in two colors: Starry Night Blue and Monet’s Dream, both of which look stunning.
The front of the phone is dominated by a 6.8-inch AMOLED display that has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 120Hz. The display is bright, sharp, and colorful, and supports HDR10+ for enhanced contrast and dynamic range. The display also has an in-screen fingerprint scanner that works fast and reliably. The display has a punch-hole cutout on the top left corner that houses a 32MP selfie camera and an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera.
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro has a slim profile of 8.7mm and weighs 201 grams. It is comfortable to hold and use with one hand, thanks to its curved edges and ergonomic design. The phone has a USB-C port at the bottom for charging and data transfer, a speaker grille, a microphone, and a SIM tray that can accommodate two nano-SIM cards and a microSD card. The phone also has a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top, which is rare to find in flagship phones these days. The phone does not have an IP rating for water or dust resistance, which is a minor drawback.

Performance and Battery
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Helio G95 chipset, which is an octa-core processor with two Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.05GHz and six Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2GHz. The chipset also has a Mali-G76 MC4 GPU for graphics processing. The phone has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 512GB via microSD card.
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro delivers a smooth and fast performance in day-to-day tasks, such as browsing, social media, messaging, video streaming, etc. The phone can also handle gaming well, thanks to its high refresh rate display and powerful GPU. The phone can run games like PUBG Mobile, Call of Duty Mobile, Asphalt 9, etc., at high settings without any lag or stuttering. The phone also has a Game Mode feature that optimizes the performance and blocks notifications while gaming.
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro has a large 5000mAh battery that can easily last for a full day of heavy usage or up to two days of moderate usage. The phone also supports fast charging with its 33W charger that can charge the phone from 0% to 70% in just 30 minutes or fully charge it in about an hour.
amera and Audio
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro has a quad-camera setup on the back, consisting of a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera can capture detailed and clear photos in good lighting conditions, but it may struggle in low-light situations. The ultra-wide-angle camera can fit more into the frame, but it may suffer from distortion and noise. The macro camera can take close-up shots of small objects, but it may lack focus and sharpness. The depth sensor can create a bokeh effect for portrait shots, but it may not be very accurate or natural.
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro has a 32MP selfie camera on the front, which can take decent selfies with good skin tones and details. The selfie camera also supports face unlock, which works fast and reliably.
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro has a single bottom-firing speaker that produces loud and clear sound. However, it may lack bass and richness compared to some other phones with stereo speakers. The phone also has a 3.5mm headphone jack that supports DTS:X audio for an immersive sound experience.
Conclusion
The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is a flagship phone that offers a lot of features and value for money. It has a beautiful design and display, a large battery with fast charging, and a decent performance and camera. However, it may not be able to match some of its rivals in terms of processing power, camera quality, or software updates. If you are looking for a premium phone that can handle your daily needs without breaking the bank, the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro may be a good option for you.
