It seems that there has been talking about adding a retractable lens to smartphones for quite some time now, but apparently out of nowhere comes the new Phantom X2 Pro from Chinese manufacturer Tecno, which features just such a lens.
Phantom Mobile is a sub-branch of Tecno, which has offices in more than 70 countries worldwide. It includes offices in Africa, the Middle East and India, Latin America, Eastern Europe, and North America.
We don’t know if their products are available in North America.

Phantom X2
The Phantom X2 5G and X2 Pro 5G were launched in Dubai recently. Both are considered flagships but the X2 Pro 5g has an innovative feature called the “retractable” camera lens which allows for selfies even when the phone is lying flat.
Optical Zoom
One of the advantages of such a small phone is that users can enjoy 2.5x optical zooming in a device that measures just 8.9mm (0.35 inches) thick.
Aperture Lens
Tecno says its new F1.49-lens smartphone has an aperture of f/1.49, which makes it ideal for capturing photos with a shallow depth of focus. It also boasts a 50-megapixel main rear shooter, which is capable of producing images comparable to those taken by professional cameras.
