In the past two years Tecno have released more than 15 smartphones, please list only Five(5) with verifiable evidence that ever received full Android operating system update.

Example, Android 10 to 11.

PHANTOM X is a premium smartphone from TECNO available starting July 1st. AndroidHeadlines did a quick preview of the brand new mid-range flagship from TECNO a few days ago.

You can check out the preview article for the unboxing experience. I have been using the PHANTOM X for about a week now and so it’s time to dive into the full review.

PHANTOM X Hardware Impressions

PHANTOM X is a gorgeous-looking smartphone. I am a big fan of my Van Gogh Starry Blue color review device courtesy of Tecno. If you didn’t know anything about this phone you might easily mistake it for a device from Samsung or Huawei. It looks that stylish and premium.

Build quality is absolutely stellar with no rattles or squeaks and all the buttons that have a satisfying click to them. In-hand ergonomics are also excellent thanks to the curved screen and the curved back cover. The overall design of the device and the texture on the back cover result in a good grip on the phone for one-hand use.

Besides design curves and texture on the back surface, PHANTOM has also done a great job with the overall weight distribution. There is minimal to no fatigue while using this phone in one hand. This attention to detail is also applied to the case included in the retail box. The vegan leather finish on the case provides excellent grip while being extremely lightweight.

PHANTOM X comes in two colors – Van Gogh Starry Night Blue and Monet’s Summer. I like my Starry Night Blue review unit quite a bit.

Curved AMOLED Display on the PHANTOM X is easy on the eyes
The PHANTOM X has a 6.7 inch curved AMOLED display with a 90Hz high refresh rate. The high refresh rate ensures a smooth user experience during web browsing or scrolling your Facebook feed. The display panel has a resolution of 1080 x 2340 which results in an FHD panel with a high color gamut and very high contrast ratio compared to other devices that have LCD screens.

The 430 nits of brightness results in the ability to view the panel easily while outdoors on a bright sunny day. Ultra-slim bezels all around along with a 19.5:9 screen ratio mean fatigue-free one-handed operation on a daily basis.

The display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 and PHANTOM includes an HD film screen protector from the factory which is a nice touch.

There are a few other settings that may help you with your overall display experience. These are Always on display, Edge lighting, Inadvertently mode, and Extend to edges.
Overall, I am quite impressed with the quality of the display and the number of software settings available to tweak the display to my personal preferences. These should let the PHANTOM X stand out when cross-shopping with other competitive smartphones.

Software is HiOS 7.6 based on Android 11 with useful addons
PHANTOM X runs on HiOS 7.6 on top of Android 11 with April 2021 security patch. The HiOS is a light skin on top of stock AOSP.
There is quite a bit of Google integration in terms of software apps so there are no duplicate email or contacts apps. Messages with RCS chat features is the default app for SMS / texts which is my preferred app on Android. There is however no Google Discover Feed as you swipe left from the home screen.

Battery life is better than expected on the PHANTOM X
PHANTOM X packs a 4700 mAh battery which is fairly large and results in every other day charging cycle for normal use. Even under heavy use – GPS, Camera, and general web browsing you can get through a full day without having to worry about charging. In daily use, I saw Screen-on-Time of around 6 hours.

Cameras take really good pictures in various lighting conditions
On the back, there’s a triple camera module. The main camera has 50MP 1/1.3 inch ultra large sensor which enables some extremely clear nighttime shots via Super Night 3.0. It uses laser focus which results in quick focusing and balanced exposure in varying light conditions. In fact, this allows the PHANTOM X to take very quick pictures in twilight compared to other smartphones.

Audio quality is way better than other devices in this range
PHANTOM X has a single firing bottom speaker but it is loud and clear in terms of audio quality. Of course with a single speaker, the bass can be a bit low but other than that I have no issues with the sound quality. Just make sure you don’t cover the speaker grille at the bottom with your hand while playing videos or during gaming.

I think PHANTOM X has all the right features for an excellent mid-to-high-range phone. The PHANTOM X has stellar-looking hardware, a superb AMOLED curved borderless display, excellent battery life, and 33W fast speedy charging. To top it off, you also get fairly useful software and a great camera experience at a very attractive price.

There are no obvious or glaring flaws with the PHANTOM X. This means that it should definitely be on your shortlist when looking for a premium smartphone.

i think the main selling point of this Phantom X will be the camera, storage and design that hasn't been experienced on any phantom device before it.

lol I’m not a tecno fans but for the bolded, tecno wins hands down. It’s easier to repair and resell tecno phone compared to xiaomi! .

Let’s face it, xiaomi is only popular on nairaland, none of my circle is using the phone! It’s either Samsung or iPhone .I’ve only seen the product( xiaomi) two or three times physically ( I’m serious ).
Which means I’ll go for popular device .
And tbh , I really can’t buy phone cos of gaming , after all ps5 Dey nah . I know we have different reasons for buying phones but gaming will never be part of reasons for me to buy o. All I need is large storage very strong battery and multi tasking cos I use heavy apps and I fit open 20 apps in a go. Although I will never spend over 200k on android wey no be Samsung
xiaomi dey try but dey no dey popular, na their problem be that and they have poor after sales service

Lol. Saying a global brand is trying compared to a brand trying to gain popularity in the global market by selling overpriced products to Africans. It breaks my heart to know that people have tools make research yet they wouldn’t. Try to base your conclusions beyond Nairaland reviews.

I honestly don't blame Transsion. Overtime, they have realized that there are too many idiots in this country, hence the continuous production of overpriced garbages.

I use a redmi note 10s Pro (Xiaomi) people don't know it's the same phone

I can tell you that I bought it 125k n I went to the store to compare it to the Tecno phantom x bro I can categorically tell you e beat the Tecno..

The only thing is that the Tecno fine pass am ghan I no fit lie but that's all.. and the stupid Tecno is super heavy my phone is light as hell

Maybe if the TECNO WAS cheaper I could have bought it not for the function but for the look.
