Tecno Phantom X2 Pro has a unique retractable portrait lens on the back

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is a flagship-grade smartphone with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor, a 5160mAh battery with 45W charging, a 120Hz display and a triple rear camera setup with a retractable portrait lens. Here’s how that retractable lens work.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro retractable portrait lens: How it works

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is the world’s first phone with a retractable portrait lens. It has three cameras on the back:

50MP primary camera with 1/1.3-inch Samsung GNV sensor with f/1.9 aperture 50MP retractable lens, 65mm telephoto 2.5x optical zoom ISOCELL JN1 sensor with f/1.5 aperture  13MP ultrawide camera with f/2.2 aperture

Now the star of the show is that retractable portrait lens which can physically move out and get closer to the subject. This increases the actual distance between the sensor and the lens. This offers the benefit of variable focal length within a compact form factor. In its extended 65mm-equivalent focal length, you get 2.5x optical zoom as well as greater background blur. The latter is ideal for portrait shots/depth-of-field bokeh effects.

When not in use, the lens retracts flat into the back camera panel. So you don’t have to carry around a bulky phone to enjoy the extended focal length benefits.

Tecno Phantom X2 Pro specs and features

Other highlights of Tecno Phantom X2 Pro include a 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED display, a 32MP front camera, a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, a 5160mAh battery with 45W fast charging, 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, 256GB UFS 3.1 storage, and 5G support.

What is Grogu, Googles AirTag competitor

Apple’s AirTag changed the personal tracker market by offering a simple solution for people who want to keep track of items like keys, wallets, smartphones, luggage, handbags and more. Now, it seems that Google is working on a product that will be the direct competitor to Apple’s AIrTags. The offering is reportedly nicknamed Grogu. 

What do we know about Google’s Grogu so far?

According to Kuba Wojciechowski, who is a known leakster in this space, Google’s Grogu will be similar in functionality to Apple’s AirTags. It may come with a speaker, offer multiple colours, and may also offer support for Bluetooth LE and ultra-wideband (UWB). The product has been named Grogu because that is Baby Yoda’s real name in The Mandalorian. 

Google has equipped the Pixel smartphones with UWB technology since the Pixel 6 series, however, we have not really seen the company do anything specific with it yet. Perhaps the intention behind using the technology is to eventually make it compatible with the upcoming tracker so that users can get super-specific location data for their items. 

When will Google’s Grogu launch?

At this point, the leakster has not revealed any information regarding the launch timelines for Google’s Grogu. The real name of the product is also under wraps. Many believe that the tracker may be announced during Google I/O in the spring of this year, with an eventual launch in October during the company’s annual hardware event. This is something we’ll know as we get closer to Google I/O.
