Say hello to the PHANTOM V Flip2 5G and PHANTOM V Fold2 5G – these bad boys are follow-ups to their affordable predecessors, the PHANTOM V Flip and Phantom V Fold. It’s clear that both foldable are designed to give Samsung a run for its money, especially given their budget friendly price-points. They also offer big hardware improvements over their predecessors.
First up, we’ve got the PHANTOM V Flip2 5G. TECNO has taken the concept of a cover screen and cranked it up to eleven with their ThruPool display. Inspired by infinity pools, this 3.64″ screen flows seamlessly into the device’s curved body, creating a look that’s similar to what we’ve seen on the gorgeous, 2024 Moto Razr.
But it’s not just a pretty face. This cover screen is a workhorse, supporting over 2000 apps. That means you can check your steps, reply to messages, and even play mini-games without ever flipping open the main screen.
If you’re the type who believes bigger is always better, then the PHANTOM V Fold2 5G is going to be more your speed. This one unfolds to reveal a large 7.85″ 2k+ AMOLED main screen with a 21:9 aspect ratio that’s perfect for binge-watching and multitasking.
Tecno has also introduced the PHANTOM V Pen, a stylus that turns this foldable into more of a productivity powerhouse. With features like handwriting recognition, it’s clear that TECNO wants to compete with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
Both devices come loaded with TECNO’s new AI suite, featuring the Gemini-integrated Ella AI Assistant. This digital sidekick can help you with over 400 system functions, from setting wallpapers to switching languages.
Another neat AI feature is the AI Artboard. This feature turns your scribbles into masterpieces faster than you can say “Pablo Picasso.” Just doodle something, and watch as AI transforms it into a work of art. Once again, this is a feature that we’ve also seen on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6.
The PHANTOM V Flip2 5G boasts a 50MP main camera and a 32MP front camera. The PHANTOM V Fold2 5G takes it up a notch with an Ultra-Clear Five Camera Imaging System, including three 50MP cameras.
When it comes to battery life, the PHANTOM V Flip2 5G packs an impressive 4720mAh Super Battery with 70W Ultra Charge, while the PHANTOM V Fold2 5G boasts a massive 5750mAh Aircell battery.
The PHANTOM V Flip2 will retail for around $699 USD, but it won’t be available in the U.S. Meanwhile, the PHANTOM V Fold2 will retail for around $1,099, which is very competitively priced for a fold, unfortunately it also won’t be readily available in the U.S.
