Tecno has confirmed it will be showcasing an interesting and rather new smartphone during the MWC Barcelona 2023. The device in question will be the brand’s first-ever foldable smartphone, Phantom V Fold. While we wait for the formal debut, Tecno has revealed that the upcoming folding phone features an advanced flagship screen developed in collaboration with technology giant TCL CSOT, in a joint laboratory of the two technology brands.
Tecno and TCL CSOT set up a joint lab in July 2022, strengthening their long-standing partnership. The lab aims to drive innovation and meet customer needs, as both brands value research and development. The new flagship display is a result of this collaboration and it is claimed to deliver an outstanding visual experience in both folded and unfolded large-screen setups.
Tecno says the upcoming Phantom V Fold uses an LTPO dual screen with up to 120Hz refresh rate. In addition, the display will apparently fold “ultra-flat” and have a “virtually crease-free surface to provide immersive and remarkable large-screen visuals”.
Phantom V Fold’s Successor and a Rollable Device Also in Development
Additionally, Tecno confirmed that the successor of the upcoming Phantom V Fold is also in development and it will have even better display capabilities. The next-gen foldable is slated to be released sometime in 2024 with Tecno’s self-developed Pattern 2.0 crease optimization technology that will ensure the crease on the display is almost non-existent.
The phone’s screen layering is said to be approximately 20% thinner and it will use TCL CSOT’s PLP technology to further improve the display.
Notably, Tecno and TCL CSOT have another intriguing large-screen device in development. This said device will be a rollable smartphone with an extendable and retractable screen. Apparently, they’re planning to put a motor in the device that can roll out the screen and make it big without needing to fold it. This means that the screen won’t have any creases and will be really flat.
