Tecno‘s foray into the foldable smartphone market with the Phantom V Flip was a promising start. The device offered a compelling package at a competitive price point, making foldable technology more accessible to a wider audience.

Now, the company is gearing up to launch its successor, the Phantom V2 Flip, which promises to build upon the strengths of its predecessor while introducing new features and refinements.

Design

The Phantom V2 Flip is expected to undergo a major upgrade with a significantly larger cover screen. Unlike the original V Flip’s circular display, which had limited functionality, the new model is rumored to feature a rectangular cover screen, similar to other clamshell foldables. This expanded display promises improved usability, offering more interactive widgets, notifications, and possibly even app functionality without the need to open the phone.

The overall design is expected to be refined, with a more premium build quality and a sleeker profile. The leaked image hints at a metal frame, which would contribute to a sturdy and luxurious feel.

As per leaks, the V2 Flip is expected to have dimensions of 170 x 74 x 8mm when unfolded and 85 x 74 x 16mm when folded.

Performance and Storage

The Phantom V2 Flip is expected to feature a MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor, offering a slight upgrade from the Dimensity 8050 used in the original model. While these chipsets have minimal differences, the 8020 should still provide improved overall performance.

In terms of memory and storage, the Phantom V2 Flip is likely to offer configurations similar to its predecessor, with 8GB of RAM as a base option and 256GB of internal storage. However, there’s a possibility of higher storage variants to cater to users with extensive media libraries.

Camera

While detailed information about the camera setup is still limited, improvements over the original V Flip are anticipated. According to a leaked poster, the device will feature a dual-camera system on the cover display along with an LED Flash, with the primary sensor likely receiving upgrades in resolution and low-light performance. The addition of features like optical image stabilization (OIS) and larger sensor sizes could further enhance image quality. The device will also feature a front-facing camera.

Battery and Charging

The V2 Flip is expected to see an upgrade in its battery, increasing from the original 4000mAh to a larger 4590mAh capacity, offering longer usage. Additionally, faster charging speeds, potentially up to 70W, are anticipated for quicker recharging.

Pricing and Availability

Pricing is a crucial factor in the success of a foldable smartphone. While the original V Flip offered good value for money, Tecno will need to carefully consider the pricing of the V2 Flip to remain competitive. Given the expected hardware upgrades and design refinements, a slight price increase is possible.

The launch timeline for the Phantom V2 Flip is still shrouded in mystery. However, considering the recent leaks and certifications, a release in recent months seems plausible.

Tecno is gearing up to launch its next-generation foldable smartphones, the Phantom V Fold 2 and the Phantom V2 Flip. 

The Fold 2 was recently spotted on the Google Play Console listing which reveals some key details of the book-style foldable. Today, we have our first look at its clamshell counterpart, thanks to an image shared by tipster Paras Guglani on X (formerly Twitter).

The image, though not very clear, shows only the phone’s rear design. Unlike the original V Flip, which had a small cover display within the camera ring, the V2 Flip features a cover display that covers half of the phone’s exterior. This design aligns with information gleaned from FCC listings.

The dual rear camera system is positioned on the left side, accompanied by an LED flash, further confirming the FCC details. The overall design is reminiscent of recent clamshell phones like the Xiaomi Mix Flip. Additionally, the visible antenna lines suggest a metal frame construction.

The FCC listing also revealed details on some of V2 Flip’s internal components. The phone will likely come with a dual-cell battery setup, with capacities of 3,410mAh and 1,180mAh, totaling 4,590mAh. This represents a 15% increase in battery capacity compared to the original V Flip.

The listing hints at 70W fast charging support, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. The V2 Flip is expected to measure 170 x 74 x 8mm when unfolded and 85 x 74 x 16mm when folded.

Further specifications from a Geekbench listing suggest that the V2 Flip will be powered by a Dimensity 8020 processor, paired with 8GB of RAM. The phone scored 814 in single-core and 2,866 in multi-core tests in the benchmark.

While we got a peek at the Phantom V2 Flip’s design today, Tecno has not yet confirmed the launch date, pricing, or full specifications. Stay tuned for more updates.
