Tecno unveiled the Phantom V Flip 2 earlier this month as its latest foldable smartphone. It is the direct successor to the original Phantom V Flip. So what are all the changes in the V Flip 2? What upgrades has the brand made to its new flip phone? Read on to find out.

Tecno Phantom V Flip 2 vs Phantom V Flip: Design & Display

The company’s Phantom V Flip 2 was announced with the same clamshell folding design as the first Phantom V Flip. Although, the brand has made improvements on its body with a refined aerospace-grade steel hinge. This makes the flip action smoother and improves its durability as well. Another major change is at the back, where the cover display is taller.

The original V Flip launched with a 1.32-inch circular AMOLED external display, while the Phantom V Flip 2 features a bigger 3.64-inch cover screen that supports over 2,000 apps. The main display retains the 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort, and FHD+ resolution.

Processor

Tecno made an odd choice with the processor. It didn’t release the Phantom V Flip 2 with an improved processor, but didn’t ship it with the same chip either. The Phantom V Flip 1 arrived with the MediaTek Dimensity 8050 SoC and the Phantom V Flip 2 is equipped with the Dimensity 8020. While this may sound like a downgrade, both chips are fairly similar in overall performance. While the original released running on Android 13, the newer version is based on the Android 14 OS based HiOS custom skin.

Battery

The Phantom V Flip is powered by a 4,000mAh battery pack that supports 45W wired fast charging. On the other hand, Tecno made improvements on both the capacity and charging rates with the successor. The Phantom V Flip 2 houses a 4,720mAh battery pack, which supports 70W wired fast charging.

Camera

On the original Phantom V Flip, there is a dual camera setup on the back that consists of a 64-megapixel primary and a 13-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. For selfies and video calls, you get a 32-megapixel shooter. Tecno brings back dual camera setup on the Phantom V Flip 2, but with a 50-megapixel primary camera and a 50-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. The front still houses a 32-megapixel selfie camera. While it might seem like a downgrade in terms of resolution, megapixels don’t equate quality and these are different sensors altogether.

Pricing

Tecno launched its first ever flip phone for 700 Euros in Europe and around 600 US Dollars in other regions. So it seems like the next gen Phantom V Flip 2 is getting a slight price hike as it costs 699 US Dollars. But this seems reasonable considering the number of upgrades you get.

The company has confirmed the device will go on sale in India tomorrow. Here’s what you should know.

Tecno Phantom V Flip could be your next foldable

Tecno Phantom V Flip will go on sale in India on October 1 through Amazon. During the initial sale, it will be available in both color options, Iconic Black and Mystic Dawn, at a special price of Rs. 49,999 ($598).

As far as the specifications are concerned, Tecno Phantom V Flip brings a 1.32-inch cover display with a 466 x 466 resolution AMOLED panel.

The post Tecno Phantom V Flip India sale to start on October 1 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Foldable phones have been around for many years but have only recently started to gain popularity. In 2023, we’ve seen a lot of new foldables from a variety of new brands. One notable entry is Tecno. The company entered the market earlier this year with the Phantom V Fold and recently launched a flip phone called the Phantom V Flip. It’s the cheapest clamshell foldable on the market, and analysts believe it could give Tecno a chance to break into the premium market.

Tecno has made a name for itself as a maker of affordable smartphones. While the brand has launched flagship smartphones, such as the Phantom X2 and X2 Pro, budget phones have remained its core business. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, as the brand has performed very well in recent quarters. However, the Phantom V Flip could help Tecno shed its entry-level brand image, according to a TechInsights blog post.

The blog, with inputs from analyst Abhilash Kumar, says Tecno V Flip’s launch signifies how technologically advanced and competent the vendor is. “With this launch, we believe Tecno tries to communicate the message that it is neck to neck with other Chinese vendors in terms of foldable innovation,” reads the blog.

“This launch also signifies that the brand is trying to go premium and wipe off its entry tier brand image. Kicked off with Tecno Phantom V Fold during MWC’23 and now Tecno Phantom V Flip the brand showcases its premium-ness. In the present scenario where the smartphone market has kind of become stagnant, the vendors are trying to increase their margins by targeting the premium segment,” adds the post.

To remind you, Tecno V Flip is available for purchase in India at an early bird price of INR 49,999 (USD 598). For European customers, the phone is priced at €700 ($735).

The post Tecno Phantom V Flip might help the brand finally crack the premium market appeared first on Gizmochina.

After a lot of rumors and hints for several weeks, Tecno has finally launched its first flip phone, called the Tecno Phantom V Flip 5G. Unlike most flip phones, this one is aimed at the middle price range, but it still has many of the fancy features you’d expect from a really expensive folding phone.

Design & display

Design-wise, the brand draws inspiration from the cosmos, featuring a circular cover screen known as “The Planet,” and an integrated camera module that depicts an “Asteroid Belt”. On the back, the brand has used a premium lychee-pattern classic leather (vegan leather) to enhance the luxury feel.

The cover display of the smartphone measures 1.32 inches, with a 466 x 466 resolution AMOLED panel. On the inside, the phone features a 6.9-inch FHD+ (1080 x 2460 pixels) flexible LTPO AMOLED display with a 20.5:9 aspect ratio, 1000 nits peak brightness, and up to 120Hz refresh rate. The brand claims that even after 200,000 folds, the display will remain virtually creaseless.

The right side of the upper panel will feature the volume rocker and the power button. A fingerprint sensor is built into the power button. Overall, the smartphone measures 88.77 x 74.05 x 14.95mm when folded and 171.72 x 74.05 x 6.95mm when unfolded.

Camera

One of its standout features is the 64MP (primary) +13MP (ultra-wide) camera system. The star of the show is the 64MP RGBW Ultra Sensitive sensor main camera that boasts a 60% increase in light intake, reduced noise, and enhanced color accuracy thanks to the RGBW pixel format. This camera has the highest resolution among flip phones at 64MP, along with an f/1.7 aperture and 1.6μm (4in1) pixels. Equipped with PDAF, ISOCELL Pixel Isolation, and a Pixel Fusion Algorithm, it promises to deliver exceptional night performance to illuminate even the darkest environments.

For selfie enthusiasts, the 32MP Dual-flash Autofocus Front Camera is a game-changer. It boasts an industry-first front-facing flashlight in a flip phone, offering perfect lighting for selfies, even in low-light situations. The camera’s Automatic Eye-focus ensures precise subject tracking for clear and detailed selfies and vlogs.

Its FreeCam System allows users to explore creative angles and capture unique shots. With stability at any angle from 30-150˚, it’s perfect for group shots, rear camera selfies, and low-angle shots. Plus, you can control it with gestures and voice commands, so you don’t need to touch it while taking pictures.

Performance

In terms of performance, the Phantom V Flip 5G is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 8050 5G chipset, along with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. For those not familiar, the Dimensity 8050 is essentially a rebranded variant of the Dimensity 1300 SoC, which is constructed using TSMC’s N6 (6nm) technology. This octa-core processor comprises four high-powered Cortex-A78 cores and four energy-efficient Cortex-A55 cores. Among the Cortex-A78 cores, there is one Super Core capable of running at speeds of up to 3GHz, and three Performance Cores clocked at a maximum of 2.6GHz. As for graphics, it relies on the Arm Mali-G77 with nine cores.

Additionally, the device has a 4,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging support which promises to fill up 33% of the battery in just 10 minutes. The Phantom V Flip will provide various connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.3, and 5G connectivity with support for 14 different 5G bands. As for the operating system, Tecno has implemented a custom HiOS 13.5 that uses Android 13 as its base.

Additionally, Tecno promises to launch scented protective cases for the Phantom V Flip 5G soon. As per the brand, the case incorporates fragrant microcapsules into the leather production process, with scent being slowly released by pressure, friction heating, or natural diffusion. The scent can last for over a year under normal usage conditions. It will be available in a choice of Rose, Sea Shore, or Cologne.

Price & availability

Tecno is releasing the phone in two color options: Black and Purple. The Phantom V Flip 5G will be released in India first and the early bird price of Phantom V Flip 5G in India will be INR 49,999 (USD 598 est.).

This flip smartphone is speculated to target the mid-range market segment, making it accessible to a broader audience. While the official pricing details have not been disclosed by the brand, a well-known tipster named Paras Guglani has shared the expected price range for the Phantom V Flip in India.

As per a recent tweet by Paras, the Phantom V Flip is expected to debut in the 50-55K INR segment in India. At this price point, the device will go head-to-head with the Motorola Razr 40. Currently, it is unclear when Tecno plans to launch this device in India, although the teasers have started to come out.

Tecno Phantom V Flip specs

The Phantom V Flip is said to boast a 6.9-inch foldable AMOLED display, delivering a crisp FHD+ resolution of 1080 x 2460 pixels and an immersive 20.5:9 aspect ratio. On the front, you’ll find a powerful 32MP camera for high-quality selfies.

The post Tecno Phantom V Flip Indian price range revealed ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

In the past, flip phones were seen as fancy and expensive, only for people willing to spend a lot. But now, Tecno is changing things. They’re coming out with the Tecno Phantom V Flip, a flip phone that’s not super pricey. This means more people can afford it. On September 22, 2023, Tecno will show off this new phone. It’s for folks who like the flip style but want it at a more reasonable price. Here’s everything we know so far about the smartphone.

Design & display

Design-wise, Tecno is sticking to the established book fold design, however, it is taking a unique approach to the camera and the cover display. Unlike other flip phones, the Phantom V Flip will feature a round cover display with a large ring going around it that will feature the camera setup. Tecno has essentially fused the cover display and the camera island into one.

Leaks have revealed that the cover display of the smartphone measures 1.32 inches and will utilize a 466 x 466 resolution AMOLED panel. On the inside, the phone will feature a tall 6.9-inch flexible AMOLED display that has a 1080 x 2460 pixels resolution, a 20.5:9 aspect ratio, and a 144Hz refresh rate. The right side of the upper panel will feature the volume rocker and the power button. A fingerprint sensor is said to be built into the power button for convenient unlocking. Leaked pictures of the device hint towards a metal outer frame.

Performance

To make the smartphone more budget-friendly, Tecno is making some compromises in terms of its performance. Instead of using a high-end processor, the Phantom V Flip is rumored to feature a mid-range Dimensity 8050 SoC. For those who might not be familiar, the Dimensity 8050 is essentially a rebranded version of the Dimensity 1300 SoC, built on TSMC’s N6 (6nm) technology. This octa-core processor consists of four powerful Cortex-A78 cores and four energy-efficient Cortex-A55 cores. The Cortex-A78 cores are divided into one Super Core running at speeds of up to 3GHz and three Performance Cores clocked at up to 2.6GHz. The chipset can handle up to 16GB of LPDDR4x RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.

As for graphics, it relies on the Arm Mali-G77 with nine cores. The Dimensity 8050 also supports 4K video recording and a maximum display resolution of 2520×1080 pixels. Devices like the Realme 12 Pro series feature this chip, so you can expect a similar level of performance from the upcoming foldable.

We can expect the Phantom V Flip to come with 8 GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Due to the cost-cutting factor, we can expect it to be LPDDR4x RAM paired with UFS 3.1 or below storage. Additionally, the phone is said to debut with HIOS based on Android 13. Under the hood, the device will have a 4,000mAh battery with 66W fast charging support via a USB-C port. The Phantom V Flip will provide various connectivity options, including Wi-Fi 802.11ax, Bluetooth 5.3, and 5G connectivity with support for 14 different 5G bands.

Camera

The camera options will be fairly simple with a 64-megapixel primary camera featuring autofocus support, along with a 13-megapixel ultrawide camera and a ring LED light. Upfront, it will feature a 32MP selfie snapper located in the centered punch hole at the top. Currently, it is unclear if the smartphone will have features like OIS, and the ability to use the primary camera as the selfie camera when the device is folded.

Pricing & availability

The global launch of the Phantom V Flip is scheduled for September 22 at 3 PM SGT. Although the brand has kept the pricing under wraps, known tipster Paras Guglani claims that the smartphone will debut in between Rs. 50,000 to 55,000 ($600-$660). It is expected to come in three color options: Minimal Black, Film White, and Periwinkle Purple.

We had smartphone launches almost every day recently. Despite that, even more handsets are scheduled to go official over the next week.

As of writing this article, five brands have confirmed events in the next few days. These companies are Honor, Motorola, Redmi, Vivo, and Tecno.

Two of them will unveil foldables phones. While one of them will take wraps off new-gen models in a globally popular mid-range series.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the handsets that are about to launch soon.

Upcoming Smartphones Next Week

Honor Purse V

The Honor Purse V was initially showcased as a concept smartphone at IFA 2023 earlier this month. But recently, the brand confirmed that this device will be presented in China on September 19 (Tuesday) and will be available for purchase.

The Purse V from Honor is an outward folding foldable smartphone like the Huawei Mate Xs series. However, it is designed more as a fashion accessory than a productivity machine.

As the name suggests, the phone mimics a purse with its detachable straps and multiple AOD (Always-on Display) styles for its screen. Rumors say that it is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC and supports 35W charging.

Motorola Edge 40 Neo

The Motorola Edge 40 Neo will debut in India on September 21 (Thursday). Since it is official in Europe, we know everything about it.

It is a mid-range smartphone positioned below the Edge 40. The device is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7030 chipset and is backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 68W wired charging.

It comes with a 6.55-inch FHD+ 144Hz curved OLED display, 50MP (wide) + 13MP (ultra-wide dual camera system, 32MP selfie camera, dual stereo speakers, and IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

The Pro variants will sport 1.5K OLED displays with 1800nits peak brightness level and 1920Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. The screen on the Pro Plus will be curved and it will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7200-Ultra chip.

Vivo T2 Pro 5G

The Vivo T2 Pro 5G is planned to launch in India on September 22 (Friday). It will be positioned higher than Vivo T2x 5G and Vivo T2 5G which debuted earlier this year.

Going by the teasers and leaks, the phone is a rebranded iQOO Z7 Pro. For the unaware, the iQOO device itself is a rebadged Vivo S17e.

Tecno is all set to join the clamshell foldable phone bandwagon. The brand has announced the launch date of the Phantom V Flip today. The upcoming offering will see the company competing against the likes of foldable flip phones offered by brands like Samsung, Motorola, OPPO, and more in the market. To recall, Tecno had launched the Phantom Fold V earlier this year. The Tecno Phantom V Flip has already appeared in leaks and rumors revealing its key details ahead of the launch. 

Tecno Phantom V Flip launch confirmed

Tecno will unveil the Phantom V Flip on September 22 in Singapore. The event will begin at 3 pm local time. The company states that the upcoming clamshell device reflects their commitment to exploring new form factors and redefining the style and functionality of flip phones for passionate, fashionable, and forward-looking audiences.

Tecno will also launch the MegaBook T1 2023 14-inch laptop alongside the Phantom V Flip at the event.

It features a circular module that accommodates two camera sensors and an LED flash unit on the outer ring and a small 1.39-inch secondary display on the inside. This is unlike the conventional separation of cameras and the display on other flip phones. 

The Tecno Phantom V Flip has already bagged various certifications. As per the Google Play Console listing, it is expected to come with an FHD+ resolution and reportedly a 6.75-inch AMOLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate.

Following the release of the Phantom V Fold, Tecno is gearing up to expand its foldable smartphone portfolio with the new Phantom V Flip model. But ahead of its launch, the Phantom V Flip‘s design was leaked. The news arrives from an Vopmart listing (spotted by TechGoing), so let’s have a look.

Tecno Phantom V Flip Design

The design of the upcoming clamshell folding phone was revealed via leaked renders of a protective case. Looking at the listing on the Chinese e-commerce platform, we can see various images of the new protective cover. The case reveals that the Phantom V Flip features a large circular camera island on the rear. This module houses a dual camera setup along with an LED flash. Notably, this is the same case render that was leaked earlier this week.

Since it folds like a flip phone, its design is similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 and the Oppo Find N3 model. The case renders also revealed that the Tecno Phantom V Flip will feature a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and even offers us a look at the circular external screen housed within the camera module. Talking about the device, it sports a tall 6.75-inch flexible AMOLED display that has an FHD+ resolution, 20.5:9 aspect ratio, and a 144Hz refresh rate.

On the rear, the camera module will house a 64-megapixel primary sensor that is paired with a 13-megapixel ultra wide angle lens. Meanwhile, the front will feature a 32-megapixel shooter for selfies and video calls. The rear panel is a smaller screen that has a 466 x 466 resolution that is built for quick access. Other notable features include Dimensity 8050, a 4,000mAh battery pack, 66W fast charging, 8GB RAM, and 256GB storage.

A new month is here and so is our monthly upcoming smartphone list. Just like August, September will also see countless phone releases.

Again like last month, the forthcoming handsets will be spread across different categories. There will be foldables, budget models, mid-rangers, and even flagships.

One of the important launches will be by Apple as the tech giant will unveil its next-gen iPhones. Further, Honor will re-enter the Indian smartphone market. It will also debut a new foldable in China.

At least 10 brands are anticipated to announce new phones. Unsurprisingly, the list includes all the major Chinese players, in addition to the only non-Chinese popular companies Apple and Samsung.

Let’s take a look at all the devices that are expected to be made official by these brands.

Upcoming Smartphones in September 2023

Realme C51

The Realme C51 is scheduled to launch in India on September 4. The device is already official in Southeast Asia.

However, it is not sure if the variant set to release in India will be the same. Because the recent C series models for the region are slightly different.

So far, the brand has confirmed that the product will feature a flat frame design. It will look like an iPhone Pro and will be available in a blue color option.

The handset will be equipped with a 50Mp rear camera. Finally, it will carry support for 33W charging.

Motorola Moto G54 5G

The Motorola Moto G54 is planned to go official in China on September 5. It will be unveiled in India a day later on September 6.

The official teasers from the brand have revealed key aspects of the product. It will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7020 chip and will be backed by a 6,000mAh battery with support for 30W charging.

It will be fitted with a 6.5-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, an OIS-assisted 50MP rear camera, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. It is expected to start at ₹14,999 (~$180) in India.

Apple iPhone 15 Series

Apple has scheduled its annual iPhone launch event for September 12. The company has named the 2023 edition ‘Wonderlust’.

The iPhone 15 lineup will be unveiled at this conference. Just like in previous years, there will be four models, namely iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, and iPhone 15 Pro Max. The high-end ‘Pro Max’ variant could be called the iPhone 15 Ultra.

All four phones are anticipated to come with a dynamic island and a USB Type-C port. Additionally, the Pro models will feature a new action button, and the Pro Max will be equipped with a periscope zoom lens.

Mysterious Honor Foldable

Honor has scheduled an event in China for September 13. The brand has confirmed to unveil a new foldable at this conference.

Though we are only a few days away from the launch, we don’t know the actual name of this product. Leaks say that it could be either Honor Magic Vs 2 or Honor Magic V2 Lite.

The Honor Magic Vs 2 is rumored to be an outward folding device like the Huawei Mate Xs series. On the other hand, the Honor Magic V2 Lite is said to be the most affordable foldable smartphone to release this year.

Samsung W24 and W24 Flip

Samsung is set to take wraps off the new W series foldable phones in China on September 15. These handsets are expected to be called Samsung W24 and Samsung W24 Flip.

Similar to the previous W series handsets, they are anticipated to be rebranded current-gen Galaxy Z foldables from the company. So the W24 and W24 Flip will be essential premium versions of Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5, respectively.

These devices will likely have additional design elements to differentiate themselves from the regular models.

Realme Narzo 60x

The Realme Narzo 60x is teased by the company to debut soon in India. It should go official within the next few days.

Going by the teaser render and the name, it could be a rebranded Realme 11x 5G. But it may or may not have some changes.

For the unaware, the Realme 11x comes with a 6.74-inch FHD+ 120Hz display (LCD), a MediaTek Dimensity 6100 Plus chipset, a 64MP rear camera, a 5,000mAh battery, and 33W charging.

Honor 90

The Honor 90 is expected to launch in India this month. The brand is yet to disclose the exact date, however, a leak suggests that it could go official on September 21.

This smartphone is already on sale in multiple markets. Therefore, everything about it is already known. But we cannot deny the probability of the Indian variant being slightly different.

Anyways, the handset arrives with a 6.7-inch 1.5K 120Hz curved OLED display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 SoC, a 200Mp main camera, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, a 5,000mAh battery, and 66W charging.

Xiaomi 13T Series

Going by leaks and certifications, the Xiaomi 13T series could launch in September. The lineup will consist of Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro.

Leaks suggest that the pro variant will be a tweaked version of the Redmi K60 Ultra with Leica-powered better camera hardware. Whereas, the vanilla model will not only have a downgraded camera setup without Leica processing but also a less powerful chip.

Either way, both phones will look identical in terms of design. Their looks will be based on the Xiaomi 13 series and the Redmi K60 lineup.

The Xiaomi 13T and Xiaomi 13T Pro are tipped to start from £549 and £699, respectively.

Tecno Phantom V Flip

The Tecno Phantom V Flip might debut in September. It will be the brand’s first clamshell foldable smartphone and could be more affordable than the competitors.

Its design will be unique as it will sport a 1.32-inch circular cover screen inside the camera ring. The device will be powered by a mid-range MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chip and will be backed by a 4,000mAh battery.

Most importantly, it will flaunt a 6.9-inch FHD+ vertical foldable display. Also, it will arrive with a 64MP + 13MP dual camera setup on the rear and a 32MP front-facing snapper.

Motorola Edge 40 Neo and Edge 2023

The Motorola Edge 40 Neo and Motorola Edge 2023 are anticipated to launch in September. The former will be a new product, while the latter is a rebranded Motorola Edge 40 for the US.

According to leaks, the Edge 40 Neo will come with a 6.55-inch FHD+ 144Hz pOLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 1050 chip, a 50MP + 13MP dual camera setup, a 32MP selfie camera, an IP68 rating, a 5,000mAh battery and 68W charging support.

The phone is tipped to cost just £290 in the UK. Unfortunately, we don’t have pricing details for other regions.

Oppo A38

The Oppo A38 is tipped to launch in India in September. It will be a 4G-only budget smartphone.

As per leaks, the handset will sport a 6.56-inch HD+ 90Hz display (LCD) and an IP54-rated flat frame body. It will be powered by a MediaTek Helio G85 chipset and will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery.

It will arrive with a 50MP main camera, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a MicroSD card slot, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. In Europe, the device is said to cost €159 for 4GB + 128GB memory configuration.

Vivo V29 Series

The Vivo V29 series is tipped to launch in India soon. It could be unveiled in September at the earliest.

The V29 lineup currently consists of V29, V29 Lite, and V29e. The last model just got announced in India.

The region is due for the first two models and the impending pro variant. As of now, it’s not known which of these phones will be released in the country.

Going by the leaked render, one of them could be the vanilla V29. This device comes with a 6.78-inch 1.5K 120Hz curved display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC, a 50MP rear camera, a 50MP selfie camera with autofocus, a 4,600mAh battery, and 80W charging support.

OnePlus Open

The OnePlus Open was previously rumored to launch in August. Now, it seems like the product might go official in September.

It will be the brand’s first foldable smartphone. It is expected to be based on the unreleased Oppo Find N3.

The handset is said to come with a boxy design, a 7.8-inch 2K 120Hz internal foldable display, a 6.3-inch 120Hz external screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, Hasselblad-tuned triple camera system (including telephoto and ultra-wide lens), a 4,800mAh battery, and 67W charging support.

Notable leak source Paras Guglani has revealed images and specifications of this upcoming device.

According to a recent article on Newzonly, insider Paras Guglani has unveiled the rendered images of the upcoming Phantom V Flip 5G.

This configuration is typical for flip phones and results in a combined battery capacity of 3900 mAh.

Furthermore, the FCC listing reveals that the device will support fast charging up to 45W, as evidenced by the presence of the U450TSA charging adapter, which is the same as the one used in the Tecno Pova 5. The listing does not reveal any other specifications, so let’s take a look at what the rumors have to say.
