Tecno Phantom X2 Pro Price in Kenya
Avechi sells the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro 5G with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage for KSh 65,999. It is in stock, comes with a 1-year warranty, and can be delivered or picked up from our Nairobi shop.
The Phantom X2 Pro was announced in December 2022 and went on sale in January 2023 as Tecno’s flagship of that year. Its party trick is a retractable portrait lens: a 50MP 2.5x telephoto that slides out of the body when you open the camera. It suits photography fans who like a distinctive phone. Be clear on its age, though. It launched on Android 12, and newer in-stock phones now match or beat it for less money, as the comparison below shows.

Why buy the Phantom X2 Pro
- A real portrait lens. The retractable 50MP telephoto gives 2.5x optical zoom with a bright f/1.5 aperture, good for headshots and subjects across a room.
- Large main sensor. The 1/1.3-inch 50MP main camera gathers plenty of light for evening shots.
- Former flagship chip. The Dimensity 9000 still runs social apps, video calls and most games smoothly, helped by 12GB of RAM.
- 4K at 60fps. Smooth, sharp video from the main camera for events and travel clips.

Verdict: The Phantom X2 Pro’s chip is still a little stronger for heavy gaming, but the Camon 50 Ultra wins on almost everything else: longer zoom, better selfie camera, bigger battery, full water resistance, twice the storage and years more software support. It also costs KSh 7,400 less. Most buyers should choose the Camon 50 Ultra.
