Unboxing the Tecno Phantom X2 Pro
Before we explore the phone itself, let's look at the retail box first. We can't say for sure that the press kit we received will be identical to the retail box users will get. That's worth keeping in mind. What we got is a rather big two-piece cardboard box. A very sturdy one, which is great to see.
Inside, besides the phone, nestled in its own cradle, we also found a 45W charger, a Type-C cable to go along with it, a hard case with a stand, and a pair of nice-looking earbuds with an in-line microphone.
The case in particular stands out with its design, and it's a notch above almost any other case we've seen bundled for free with a phone.
