The Tecno Phantom V Fold2, released on 13th September 2024, represents a significant leap for Tecno in the foldable smartphone market. With cutting-edge features and a robust design, it aims to compete with the best in the foldable space, blending style, performance, and innovation.

Design and Display

The Phantom V Fold2 boasts a sleek and functional design with impressive dimensions. When unfolded, it measures 159 x 140.4 x 6.1 mm, offering a tablet-like experience, and when folded, it becomes more compact at 159 x 72.2 x 11.8-12 mm. Weighing 249g, it strikes a balance between portability and usability. The device is IP54-rated, making it dust- and splash-resistant, which is an added durability feature.

The foldable LTPO AMOLED display is one of its standout features. The 7.85-inch main screen offers an immersive experience with a 2000 x 2296 pixel resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. This ensures vibrant colors and fluid visuals, perfect for gaming, streaming, and multitasking. The cover display is equally impressive, featuring a 6.42-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and Gorilla Glass Victus protection. Its 1080 x 2550 pixel resolution makes it highly functional for quick tasks without needing to unfold the device.

Performance and Platform

Under the hood, the Phantom V Fold2 runs on Android 14 with Tecno’s HiOS 14 Fold interface, offering two major Android updates. Powering the device is the Mediatek Dimensity 9000+ chipset (4 nm), an octa-core processor that includes a high-performance Cortex-X2 core clocked at 3.20 GHz, alongside powerful Cortex-A710 and A510 cores. This combination ensures top-tier performance, whether for multitasking, gaming, or intensive apps. The Mali-G710 MC10 GPU enhances the graphic performance, making the Phantom V Fold2 a powerhouse for mobile gaming and media consumption.

The phone comes with 512GB of internal storage and 12GB of RAM, ensuring ample space and swift performance for any task. However, there is no support for expandable storage via a microSD card.
