Display | Durability

The Realme 10 Pro+ has a better and brighter display. It features a 6.7-inch OLED with a curved touchscreen, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ certification, 1B colors, and a max brightness of 800 nits. In contrast, the Tecno Phantom X2 has a lesser bright panel. The screen measures 6.8-inch OLED with curved edges and 120Hz refresh rate support. Unfortunately, it doesn’t support HDR content and has no stereo speakers like the Realme 10 Pro+.

However, when it comes to durability, the Tecno Phantom X2 is spot on with gorilla glass victus protection.

Camera

As for the cameras, the Tecno Phantom X2 has a better or rather complete camera setup. It has a 64MP OIS main camera, accompanied by a 13MP ultrawide lens, 2MP macro, and a 32MP selfie camera. In contrast, the Realme 10 Pro+ has a 108MP main camera (but no OIS), an 8MP ultrawide, 2MP macro, and a 16MP selfie camera. Overall, the Phantom X2 with optical image stabilization is a leap ahead.

Tecno Phantom X2 vs Realme 10 Pro Plus: Performance | Software

With the Tecno Phantom X2, you get a flagship performance. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. While the Realme 10 Pro+ has a midrange processor- A dimensity 1080 chipset. Paired with 8/12 GB RAM and 256GB storage. Additionally, the Tecno Phantom X2 can play games in higher settings which means it is more suitable for gamers.

Software-wise, the Realme 10 Pro+ has an edge. First, it booted Android 13 out of the box + it is certain to receive future OS upgrades for at least the next two years. But the Tecno Phantom X2 that runs Android 12 out of the box is not certain of a software update. Though Tecno has promised two years of OS upgrades, we can hardly count on that.

Tecno Phantom X2 vs Realme 10 Pro Plus: Verdict
