The Tecno Phantom X2 Pro is one of the most memorable phones in recent memory thanks to its unique retractable telephoto/portrait lens. We wondered what the phone looks like inside, and luckily PBK reviews she’s got us covered with her latest teardown video.

The plastic back cover is removed after taking out the SIM tray and applying some heat to the back. Removing a total of 17 screws frees the cameras and gives us a close-up of the telephoto module (1:15 mark in the video). Unhooking a few more cables frees the motherboard and allows us to take a closer look at the three rear cameras, the proximity sensor and the LED flash. The back side houses the chipset, RAM and storage.

The battery does not have pull tabs which require the host to apply a few drops of isopropyl alcohol around the cell to erode the adhesive. The video then shows the speaker assembly located at the bottom. The Phantom X2 Pro gets a combined repairability score of 4.5/10.
