The Tecno Phantom X2 and X2 Pro are the latest flagship smartphones from the company to launch in Kenya. Both of these are 5G smartphones and they were launched in Kenya yesterday. The phones are available for Ksh 68,000 and Ksh 83,000 for the Phantom X2 and Phantom X2 Pro respectively.
Speaking at the launch, Tecno Mobile Kenya’s brand manager Mr. Anthony Brian Otieno said “TECNO has always been pushing to uncover the latest and best premium technologies. As PHANTOM’s new flagship smartphone, the PHANTOM X2 Series brings the PHANTOM brand to the high-end market with a pioneering spirit of innovation, inside and out.”
Both devices are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 4nm 5G chip, which is a huge step forward in terms of performance. Even though they share the same processor, they do have some key differences as you will notice below.
