Should you buy TECNO's PHANTOM X2?
The PHANTOM X2 is a solid offering with a high-resolution display, a capable primary camera, a flagship 5G chipset, and a long-lasting battery. But we don't recommend buying it. The device lacks faster charging, the latest Android 13 OS version, LPDDR5X RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage technology. Also, it is not meant for users with higher RAM and storage expectations.
