Why does this story matter?
TECNO entered India's mid-range market with PHANTOM X, which is now succeeded by the PHANTOM X2. Despite being a feature-rich mid-range phone, the former didn't do well in the country, probably because of an entry-level chipset and 4G connectivity. Fortunately, the PHANTOM X2 gets a capable processor, the latest connectivity standards, and new-age features. But at Rs. 40,000, it takes on established rivals.
