Huawei is anticipated to launch the world’s first tri-foldable phone in September in China. In a notable move, Tecno has introduced its own groundbreaking tri-fold concept phone, the Phantom Ultimate 2, at the IFA technology conference in Berlin. This announcement comes as the brand prepares to release the Phantom V Fold 2 and V Flip 2 foldable phones.
Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2 design, key features
To recall, Tecno showcased the first-generation Tecno Phantom Ultimate concept phone with a rollable screen this year at the MWC 2024 tech exhibition. Its display could expand from 6.55-inch to 7.11-inch in just 1.3 seconds. The brand is now back with a new concept, the Phantom Ultimate 2, which sports a tri-foldable design.
The Phantom Ultimate 2 stands out with its slim profile, measuring just 11mm when folded, making it thinner than the Galaxy Z Fold 6, which has a thickness of 12.1mm. It features a new hinge design and an ultra-thin battery cover, only 0.25mm thick, crafted from super-compressed Titan Advanced Fiber material.
When closed, the phone sports a 6.48-inch display, but it unfolds into a large 10-inch 3K OLED panel with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The device supports multiple folding modes, including a laptop-like configuration, a media viewing mode, and a tent mode, ideal for dual-screen tasks like real-time translation. The hinges are tested for durability, capable of withstanding up to 300,000 folds.
Tecno has optimized the Phantom Ultimate 2’s software to enhance multitasking across three vertical windows and provide adaptable wallpapers for different folding scenarios. Lastly, the device is equipped with a triple camera unit on the back for photography. As can be seen in the last image, the tri-foldable phone appears completely when its screen is completely expanded.
A concept phone is an experimental device showcasing advanced designs or technologies that may not be available in current products. These phones are often used to demonstrate what’s possible in the future, but they are typically not intended for commercial release, making it unlikely that they will be available for purchase.
