Tecno plans to launch the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 and V Flip 2 foldable phones in various markets. The Phantom V Fold 2 will be the brand’s second-generation horizontally foldable phone. The company has reportedly started accepting pre-orders in the African market, indicating that it may launch by early September. Here’s a look at the new features that the Phantom V Fold 2 is expected to offer.
New Design
The original Tecno Phantom V Fold sported a round camera module on the back. Additionally, some users of the first-generation device reported experiencing some movement when squeezing the folded device at the hinge. The hinge did not stay open at different angles, which meant that it could either be fully opened or completely closed.
The above image reveals that the Phantom V Fold 2 has a slightly protruding rectangle camera module featuring a 50-megapixel triple camera unit. It also suggests that the device has a side-facing fingerprint sensor.
The Phantom V Fold 2 appears to have a new or improved hinge because the image shows it open at an angle of about 120 degrees.
Stylus Support
The original Phantom V Fold did not have support for stylus. However, the above image suggests that a second-generation model will come with stylus support. However, the device may not have a dedicated storage slot for the stylus.
Bigger Battery + Faster Charging
The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2’s FCC and TUV Rheinland certifications have revealed that it will pack 2637mAh + 2973mAh (5,610mAh – rated value) dual-cell battery. Its typical value could be around 5,700mAh, indicating that it may house a massive battery size like the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro, which packs a 5,700mAh battery.
The FCC certification has also revealed that the device will support 70W rapid charging. In comparison, the predecessor model packed a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging.
Other Internals
The details surrounding the other specifications of the Phantom V Fold 2 remain unclear. Its internal screen may support 2000 x 2296 pixels resolution, which is the same as the Phantom V Fold. Hence, it may feature a 7.85-inch foldable display on the inside. Under the hood, it may feature the Dimensity 9000 Plus chipset, 12 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. The predecessor model also offered the same specs. The Fold 2 is expected to run on HiOS 14-based Android 14.
Affordable Price
The Phantom V Fold is the most affordable foldable phone, having debuted with a price tag of Rs 88,888. The V Fold 2 is likely to continue this trend, potentially being the most affordable foldable compared to offerings from Samsung, Vivo, and OnePlus. It is expected to be priced at around Rs 90,000.
