TECNO Phantom V Fold unveiled at MWC 2023

Another foldable smartphone enters the battlefield.

Smartphone manufacturer TECNO has just unveiled its very own foldable smartphone, the TECNO Phantom V Fold, at this year’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

The Phantom V Fold will feature a 7.85-inch main screen at 120 Hz, a 6.42-inch curved sub-screen, the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC, and a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W fast charging.

TECNO is claiming that the Phantom V Fold will have an aerospace-grade, drop-shaped hinge that is “virtually seamless and crease-free.”

It seems that TECNO is focusing its foldable smartphone implementation as a means to enhance the photo-taking experience, with its press materials mostly showing people using the cover display as a viewfinder for selfies for example.

The Phantom V Fold has a 50MP Main camera, a 50MP portrait sensor, and a 13MP ultra-wide. For selfies, it has a 32MP sunscreen camera and a 16MP main screen camera.

The Phantom V Fold will be coming in two colors: black and white, with both colors having a leather-like finish.

In terms of pricing, the base model with 12GB of RAM and 256GB internal storage will start at $1,099PHP 64,495INR 93,140EUR 1,047CNY 7,999 or around Php 60,240USD 1,026INR 87,023EUR 978CNY 7,476 (as converted).

We don’t have any news yet on official Philippine pricing and availability for the Phantom V Fold but we’re just happy that more and more companies are joining the race for the best smartphone foldable.
