Marvel6233:
For days now, my inbox/DM has been bursting with messages. Demanding say make I compare the Camon 17 Pro vs Phantom X. Well, this is the first time as a reviewer that I'm seeing a Flagship phone has the same chipset with its own midrange.

100k price difference between these two phones.
But Las Las, one just had to be better

When it comes to Camera between these two, the Phantom X is the best. Both in night and daytime photography.

But the Camon 17 Pro battery last more. And in terms of performance, on Geekbench, both had similar scores. But the speed test was on fire.

The comparison video was fun to make try check am out. And I can't wait to compare the Phantom X to the likes of Samsung Galaxy A52 and Redmi Note 10 Pro.. I know say that day, rain go fall for this place ..lolz

Sainthia:
this phone is for the rich and foolish who actually doesnt know what to do with money omo

Chuksteric:
Both the op and people responding are marketers

Mustiboy:
That they even had the guts to announce that price, I've never been more shocked.

And the peasants they call marketers were all on the front page yesterday praising the device to the high heavens.

Don't get me wrong; I mean, Transsion has definitely improved over the last couple of years, thanks to the blow-dealing competition from Xiaomi. But who in their right mind will scuff out $500 for a device running Helio G95?

And are we all forgetting that Transsion devices have some of the shittiest OS you'd ever find on a device? We're even yet to mention their God-knows-when/if system updates; that's not something a customer who spent a middle-class salary on a device wants to contend with.


Why would I buy this device when I can get myself a Samsung S20 FE, MI 10, or Poco F3 and still have enough change to treat my entire household to a plate of fried rice & chicken each at ShopRite, with even a little more left to retire into a brothel with Ada for the night?

I don't mean to hate, but who in their right mind places the curved Amoled screen of a supposed flagship inside such huge bezels and chassis. Saying I'm unimpressed with the front design would make me sound like the next-door neighbor who doesn't want to see Iya Lade's daughter succeed.


Tecno needs to go back to the drawing board and study what the competition are doing. Another goof like this in their next line of products and they'll find themselves sunken sea-deep.

They've come a long way, and I don't want to see them slid into oblivion like Blackberry and Nokia.

Good morning family.

When you live in noisy Nigeria and you need to create videos, then you have to do it in the wee hours of the morning. When the world is asleep.

I just spent one hour of my life that I'll never get back watching the Tecno Phantom X launch and I was disappointed.

I didn't even finish it to be honest.

I mean Tecno are improving. Once upon a time, they'd have offered us a budget Helio P22 as a Flagship or a P35 max with generic 13MP cameras of which only one was usable. So this is a great achievement for the company.

About 5 years ago, I was a huge fan. I still have my Pouvoir 2 and L9+ boxes at home with me here and I wish them all the best.

I'm on my keyboard crafting a comprehensive post but this is a safe space where we can throw around our thoughts, ideas and first impressions.

5 here for a company that never touches screen protection or protectors is a huge leap.

Big screen, super Amoled FHD+ 90hz display

A11, HiOS 7.6, Helio G95

50MP main camera, 13MP telephoto, 8MP Ultrawide

48+8MP selfies

4700mAh battery with 33W fast charge

These are all decent specs. Good specs even.

The problem is...

They are midrange specs.

I wouldn't like to bore you too much with the specs right now.

Lemme stick with the launch.

Frank Edoho was the presenter. If you watched Silver bird TV between 2004 to 2009/10 (off the top of my head), you must have definitely seen him on the show "Who wants to be a millionaire?"

He looked out of shape and out of practice.

The Tecno manager lady had no idea what she was doing.

So when I saw Miss Techy, I was relieved, a tech person who would come and tell us about the phone...

Boy was I disappointed. ��‍♂️

The launch felt more like a show. It had dancers, a ballerina and a mini orchestra. The focus was on everything but the phone itself.

And this isn't new.

Tecno tends to market their devices as lifestyle items, the way you would market handbags, wristwatches, clothing etc.

It is disappointing.

The only Tech person there had to look at a screen and reading it like an unprepared lecturer to her students.

How did I read the body language? Because I lectured using projectors for two years plus.

The event felt hurriedly rushed.

In the audience, there was no tech person there. Just celebrities. Many of whom were past their sell by date.

If you haven't watched the launch of the original iphone in 2007, then you definitely should make time for it and watch the late Steve Jobs talk about the phone.

To wrap it up, let's look at the price!

228k can buy me a Samsung Galaxy A52 and A72, Redmi-note-10-pro, Poco X3 Pro, Mi 10T, Mi Note 10, an iPhone X series phone and I'll have change to eat at Foodland.

This is the epitomy of overselling what a phone can do and then over pricing it

Flamees:
Omo sky walker your points are Legit These people are theives The worst be say this phone no go even get resale value Imagine buying this phone for 230k and selling it for 60k

tecno sold helio p35 and no android update for 95k...na dat time i give up

MrBONE2:
You have said it all Bwana

Marvel6233:
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.

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

Flamees:
A device that won't even get an Android Updates

Kessythegeek:
You seriously wants to collect my 228k for an Helio powered processor?

Tecno dey mad.

Mangekyo:
All this man did was protest peacefully with his followers, why then did the lifeless bastard son of bitch send his zoo zombies to try to waste him? This is unacceptable! Igboho wife's been abducted. Should he now react, I'm sure they'll tag him a terrorist.
Everyday, I try to believe that Nigeria would be better again, but I'm afraid I will not be able to hold on to that anymore.

Platonic friends indeed!
Only a microscopic percent of girls will keep a male friend without getting some kind of benefits and naturally, the guy will want something in return and then one or both will start catching feelings

What's tha business?
