The confounding thing about the Phantom X is that it produces some of the best nighttime photos we’ve seen recently. While Tecno didn’t get everything right, the Phantom X shows a lot of promise. If you are one of those who like the Phantom X package, you should know that the phone is already available in a couple of countries (with more to come).
