Tecno unveiled its most expensive phone, the Phantom X, last year. Its emphasis was on the display and, in particular, the camera (the main module included a 1/1.3" 50MP sensor). Today, the company confirmed that the next-generation Phantom X2 series will be released in December, and that the series will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, which is a huge upgrade.
This was announced today, November 22nd, during the Webinar 'The Push Towards Premium: Changing Smartphone Preferences and the Technology Behind Them.' It has also been mentioned by FoneArena.
The company says the series will provide consumers with the best of “Phantom’s trailblazing innovation” alongside a premium smartphone user experience.
As mentioned, The Phantom X2 series is about to change that – the company officially revealed that the upcoming phones will be powered by the Dimensity 9000. This is a big upgrade over the Helio G95 SoC found in the previous generation PHANTOM X 4G smartphone.
The Dimensity 9000 features one fast Cortex-X2 core clocked up to 3 GHz, three A710 cores with up to 2.85 GHz, and four power-efficiency cores with up to 1.8 GHz. Based on the TSMC 4 nm process node, the processor is claimed to deliver better performance and significantly reduced power consumption. In terms of performance the Dimensity 9000 AnTuTu scores are comparable with the original Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Also, The company has been focusing on developing its camera tech, especially with phones like the Phantom X. The X2 will build on that with the extra processing power of the Imagiq 790 ISP. It will be the first in the family to support HDR video from three cameras simultaneously, for example. Also, it provides extra number crunching power for Tecno’s Super-night Mode and things like multi-exposure HDR.
On December 7, the Tecno Phantom X2 series will be officially unveiled. We don't know how many phones will be in the X2 family, nor do we know anything else besides the chipset.
