The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is the first-ever smartphone with a Retractable Portrait Lens. The Phantom X2 Pro which was announced by Tecno in January this year, has now undergone the JerryRigEverything durability tests. The results from the grueling stress tests on the premium Tecno smartphone are however not flattering.

JerryRigEverything has become a gold standard for determining the durability of any smartphone. It helps to shed off all the hype about a device and provides a barebone assessment. The conclusion from the durability tests for the Phantom X2 Pro may indicate that the smartphone’s supposedly ground-breaking design may be a ruse. The JerryRigEverything host, Zach Nelson noted that the portrait photography use-case of the smartphone requires a secondary depth-sensing camera. This was also indicated in the phone’s UI. In addition, the motor that moves the retractable lens was observed to be easily inhibited by a human finger.

The Phantom X2 Pro rear panel, made from 48% reclaimed ocean plastic was discovered to easily attract sticky materials. The smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. The X2 Pro comes with a Gorilla Glass Victus screen and a metallic mid-frame. These enabled the Phantom X2 Pro to come unscathed in the scratch, bend, and burn tests.

The full result of the JerryRigEverything teardown of the X2 Pro is still pending at this time. The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is priced at $549 and is signposted by its 50MP main camera.
