TECNO is gearing up to launch the Phantom V2 Fold – its second-gen bookstyle foldable to succeed the Phantom V Fold[Review] from last year.
The Phantom V Fold was announced at MWC 2023 and TECNO is slated to announce its successor at this year’s MWC which is happening later next month in Barcelona.
TECNO is planning to bring the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ processor paired with 12GB RAM. It will boot up Android 14 and HiOS 14 as well.
Spec-wise, it looks like TECNO will use the same processor as the Phantom V Fold.
Design-wise, we expect a 6.42″ LTPO AMOLED screen with 1080p resolution and a 6.42″ LTPO AMOLED screen. We expect both screens to sport 1100 nits in terms of peak brightness and 120hz refresh rate.
TECNO Phantom V2 Fold will have 12GB of RAM with an additional 9GB of virtual RAM. We also get up to 512GB of onboard storage with no expandable storage support.
The Phantom V2 Fold will have a triple main camera setup made of a 50MP main, 50MP telephoto with 2X optical zoom(20x Digital Zoom) and 13MP ultrawide.
The cover display and the inner displays will have a 32MP and 16MP front-facing cameras respectively.
Video recording will be capped at 4K 60fps.
The V Fold is powered by a 5000mAh battery and supports for 45W wired charging which can juice up the V Fold to full in 55 minutes.
