A smartphone is a cell phone that lets you do more than make phone calls and send text messages. Smartphones can browse the Internet and run software programs like a computer. Smartphones use a touch screen to allow users to interact with them. There are thousands of smartphone apps including games, personal-use, and business-use programs that all run on the phone.
The customized sensor of a smartphone arranges pixels in a unique pattern in order to let in more light. Thereby, producing better images that are rich in quality and brightness. A smaller aperture number means that the camera allows more light into the lens. This is what makes the phone camera better.
Tecno announced the launch of the Phantom X2 smartphone in 2022. The manufacturer is offering the Tecno Phantom X2 phone with 6.8 inches display, Mediatek Dimensity 9000 chipset, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.
The Tecno Phantom X2 comes with Android OS v12.0 out of the box, and a Li-Po 5160 mAh, non-removable battery. The 6.8 inches phone comes with AMOLED display (1080 x 2400 px). The AMOLED is a display technology and stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diodes, it is a type of OLED display and is used in smartphones.

Design & Display
Smartphones have been following distinct trends, including moving certain parts around the phone to make more room for the display. Smartphones commonly use LCD screens in their displays; however, OLED displays are becoming more common, and are preferred by most smartphone manufacturers.
An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a type of flat panel display that uses liquid crystals as its primary form of control. LCDs are lit with a backlight as pixels are switched on and off electronically while using the liquid crystals to rotate polarized light.
The weight of Tecno Phantom X2 is about 7.09 oz with battery, which is average compared to most of the smartphones with same size. The dimensions of this Tecno phone are average (6.48 x 2.86 x 0.35 inches). The Tecno Phantom X2 series sport a unique design. These handsets are easy to identify, thanks to their centrally located large camera island on the back.
The pro model has a colored ring around one of its cameras to differentiate it from the vanilla variant. The devices flaunt a 6.8-inch curved AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 360Hz touch sampling rate, and 20:9 aspect ratio. The 10-bit panel can cover 100% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, has a centered punch-hole, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus.
The phones are powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. The SoC is paired with a vapor chamber cooling system, LPDDR5x RAM, and UFS 3.1 storage. On the software front, they boot HiOS 12.0 based on Android 12.
Memory & Performance
The internal memory of Tecno Phantom X2 (8 GB) cannot be expanded. The mobile phone rom is the memory card, and it can be simply understood as a mobile phone hard disk. On the performance side, Tecno Phantom X2 comes with Android OS v12.0 out of the box, but it is upgradable to the next operating system.
Camera
Cameras on a phone commonly include a normal camera lens, a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens. A telephoto lens allows users to take a photo of a faraway subject while a wide-angle lens allows the user to take a photo at a wide field of view with a short focal length. On the front-facing screen, there is usually a selfie camera and, in some cases, a wide-angle lens.
Some phones, like the iPhone 11 Pro has three rear-facing cameras, while others, like the Pixel 3 will have just one camera– relying primarily on computational photography. All smartphones use some level of computational photography, since they don’t operate the same way shutter-based cameras do.
Computational photography is the use of computer processing in cameras to make a better-looking image beyond what the lens and sensor could traditionally pick up in one shot.
Computational photography is used in smartphones since there is less space for a large lens that can enhance pictures. Smartphones also have more processing power over the typical digital camera; meaning smartphones can automate many settings and provide additional photo editing tools.
The camera of the Phantom X2 is equipped with autofocus. An autofocus (or AF) optical system uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically or manually selected point or area. Very few Android cameras come without autofocus. The main camera of Phantom X2 has optical image stabilization (OIS) to counteract camera shake. Optical image stabilization is a must for anyone shooting without a tripod with a long lens or in low light conditions.
Connectivity
Tecno Phantom X2 supports 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE networks. This phone has a built-in GPS. GPS is a highly accurate navigation system using signals from satellites to determine a location on the Earth’s surface, irrespective of weather conditions. Most phones have a GPS unit on board. The Phantom X2 comes with NFC (Near Field Communication) functionality. Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless connectivity technology that makes life easier and more convenient for consumers around the world by making it simpler to make transactions.
Smartphones today come with a wealth of sensors to facilitate a better user experience. The accelerometer is a sensor that measures the tilting motion and orientation of the phone. The Phantom X2 phone has a fingerprint scanner. This sensor identifies and authenticates the fingerprints of an individual in order to grant or deny access to a smartphone. This Tecno phones comes with proximity sensor. This proximity sensor detects how close the phone is to an outside object, such as your ear.
Battery
The smartphone houses a Li-Po 5160 mAh, non-removable battery gives the smartphone a good battery backup. The lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery is a thin, light-weight, rechargeable battery.
TECNO PHANTOM X2 Price in Nigeria
Tecno Phantom X2 Price in Nigeria is expected to start at about 265,000 NGN.
