• Plastic Back
• Corning Gorilla Glass 6
• Snapdragon 860 CPU
• 48MP + 8MP+ 2MP +2MP Back Camera

• 5160mAh Battery (33Watt Charging)
• Android 11
• 165.3 x 76.8 x 9.4mm & 215g

Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro storage: 6GB/128GB variant retails for N95,000 ($200), the 8GB/128GB variant retails for N107,000 ($220), while the 8GB/256GB variant retails for N125,000 ($260).

How can you compare Samsung and Tecno?

Are you trying to be clever by half?

When you buy a Samsung Galaxy..

You are paying a premium for the brand..

And you are GUARANTEED LONG TERM SOFTWARE SUPPORT..

Tell me..

WHAT EXACTLY are we paying 228K for?

On the Phantom X?

Dafuq did you get this price??

A72 256GB variant MSRP is no way above 200k at the moment (depends on location and retail stores, not jumia and co).

I just tire for Tecno. They made the Phantom X a great device, but almost killed it with the Over Price. However, there are some cool things that can't be ignored. For example, the AMOLED curved display experience, the 50MP Ultra night camera, the laser autofocus and newly developed "Ella" voice assistant.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMVxI3Htejo

The major issue here would be the price and chipset. 228k (~$550) for a MediaTek helio G95 is annoyingly over price. Also, the Phantom X might not get any major software update. Which means, it might remain Android 11 all through and that is hard to swallow because of the high price.

The performance of the Phantom X is similar to that of Camon 17 Pro which is about 100k cheaper. Can you imagine!

The two major issues: the High Price (228k) and the MediaTek helio G95 chip

Tecno once made a great smartphone, but almost killed it with over price

Hi guvs,just got back from the banland angry angry angry and I'm enjoying the drama grin. Nairaland be like England vs Italy; wallahi. grin wink

Okay, now time to get serious. @Marvel6233, forget your studio setup or your lighting; I think I've just watched the best Phantom X review. In my opinion, valorreviews and yours are on the same level in terms of judgement and sincerity. Thumbs up and keep it up! After this post I wan go run to YouTube go subscribe. Just hoping you improve the quality of the shoot. Nice one, boss.

Now, we're getting to the meat of the matter. @Honestfact101 has a point. Some places in Nigeria that sell Samsung's A72 for over 200K! Jeez! I mean the base version, because say na Samsung. Mtchewww. It's overpriced too. Abeg, nor go near those gaddem places.

The low light performance of the main camera is impressive. Tecno, you try. Make I no lie you. But the quality, while not really flagship (high-end oh) level, is really impressive for a midranger. Though the A72, certainly not better than the Phantom in build quality, certainly trashes it in durability (IP67 rating) and of course, software support and quality. OIS on that main lens certainly narrows the gap. (OneUI is far ahead of HiOS, ads and all. Ewww). And it does have a telephoto.

Poco X3 Pro? Mad oh. Worse build quality. Main camera not as impressive. Certainly similar ultrawide sensor (Curse those bloody useless 2MP depth and 2MP macro cameras on midrangers). Worse selfie. The Phantom certainly wins with it's far more versatile cameras. 90Hz AMOLED still better than 120Hz LCD. But I'd pick the Poco. Why? You may ask. Far superior haptic feedback, better speakers (stereo), way better software, and of course; price. And Snapdragon 860? (essentially a Snapdragon 855++).

Redmi Note 10 Pro, certainly best affordable phone of the year, and a better match overall. Can the Phantom win this one? Well, not really. The Phantom certainly has better camera specs, but the Redmi is just a better overall phone. No contest.

BONUS: NA 230K, ABI? OYA MAKE WE ADD iPhone 11 Pro UK USED. DOES THE PHANTOM WIN? IT CANT EVEN GET CLOSE. grin

FACT IS, THE PHONE TOO COST. WHY NOT 180,000 NAIRA? WELL, MAYBE THEY WANNA PUT PHANTOM WITH APPLE AND SAMMY. SORRY O cheesy. HELL, EVEN THE XIAOMI MI 10 IS THE SAME PRICE! TRANSSION; YOU MESSED UP BIG TIME!

BUY THIS FOR 230 GRAND ONLY IF:
1) YOU ARE A RICH AND RABID TECNO FAN AND YOU LOVE HIOS AND DON'T CARE ABOUT UPDATES.
2) YOU WANNA PAY 230K TO SEE WIZKID. grin grin grin
3) YOU HAVE 230K BURNING A HOLE IN YOUR POCKET AND MARKETERS DON SING LIKE MOSQUITO FOR YOUR EAR. grin grin

GOOD LUCK TO FUTURE BUYERS.
