TECNO PHANTOM V Fold 2 and V Flip 2 launch alongside new PHANTOM V Pen

There
have
been
a
lot
of

foldable
phones
launched
recently,
with
the
best-selling

Samsung
Galaxy
Z
Fold
6
making
waves
and
the

HONOR
Magic
V3
grabbing
headlines
for
its
unbelievable
thinness.
We
also
just
saw
the

HUAWEI
Mate
XT,
the
world’s
first
commercially
available
tri-folding
phone.
Now,
TECNO
is
joining
in
the
foldable
fun
by
launching
a
book-style
foldable,
a
flip-style
foldable,
and,
for
the
first
time,
a
first-party
stylus
that
works
on
the
book-style
foldable.

Let’s
start
with
that,
the
TECNO
PHANTOM
V
Fold
2.
TECNO
has
changed
a
bit
from
the
original
PHANTOM
V
Fold,
most
noticeably
with
the
rear
camera
module.
Gone
is
the
circular
housing
and,
in
its
place,
we
have
a
triple-lens
system
arranged
in
an
unconventional
rectangular
module
that
looks
like
a
mish-mash
of
styles.
It
did
keep
the
faux
leather
back
and
the
curvy
display
sides.

One
of
the
more
notable
upgrades
is
the
battery
capacity.
The
PHANTOM
V
Fold
2
has
a
5,750mAh
cell,
considerably
larger
than
the
5,000mAh
battery
of
the
original.
You
can
also
charge
that
battery
much
faster
with
the
phone’s
maximum
70W
charging
speeds.
And,
for
the
first
time
on
a
TECNO
foldable,
you
also
have
the
option
of
15W
wireless
charging.

Other
specs
haven’t
changed
much,
though.
You
still
have
12GB
of
RAM
and
then
either
256GB
or
512GB
of
internal
storage.
The
external
display
sports
a
120Hz
refresh
rate
and
a
Full
HD+
resolution,
while
the
internal
display
has
the
same
refresh
rate
but
on
a
“2K+”
screen
(TECNO
wasn’t
more
specific
about
what
“2K+”
means).

Unfortunately,
there
are
a
lot
of
things
we
don’t
yet
know
about
the
phone,
most
notably
its
chipset.
The
PHANTOM
V
Fold
had
a
MediaTek
Dimensity
9000
Plus,
but
TECNO
does
not
divulge
the
chip
inside
the
PHANTOM
V
Fold
2.
We
also
don’t
know
how
much
it
will
cost,
when
it’s
coming
out,
and
in
which
countries
it
will
be
available.
Hopefully,
we’ll
learn
that
information
soon.

In
the
meantime,
the
company
also
announced
a
flip-style
foldable.

TECNO
completely
reimagined
the
look
of
last
year’s
PHANTOM
V
Flip.
It
removed
the
large,
circular
camera
module
with
a
smartwatch-like
cover
display
and
adopted
an
all-over
display
with
cutouts
for
the
two
camera
lenses,
similar
to
how
Motorola
designed
the
Razr
line,
most
recently
with
the

Motorola
Razr
(2024).

Like
its
book-style
sibling,
TECNO
pumped
up
the
battery
cell
significantly
to
4,720mAh
and
also
brought
in
70W
wired
charging.
Unfortunately,
the
V
Flip
2
misses
out
on
wireless
charging.

As
far
as
the
internal
display
goes,
it’s
a
6.9-inch
panel
with
a
120Hz
adaptive
refresh
rate
and
a
Full
HD+
resolution.
It’s
also
completely
flat
—
or,
as
TECNO
says,
“ultra-flat.”

Once
again,
TECNO
has
not
announced
pricing
or
any
availability
information
for
the
PHANTOM
V
Flip
2.
There’s
also
no
word
on
the
included
processor,
but
the
original
V
Flip
had
a
MediaTek
Dimensity
8050.

Finally,
TECNO
is
launching
its
first
stylus
specifically
designed
for
foldables
with
the
TECNO
PHANTOM
V
Pen.
It
weighs
just
10g
and
has
two
buttons:
one
for
AI
tools
on
the
phone
itself
and
a

function
button
for
tasks
such
as
turning
pages,
controlling
music,
and
taking
photos.

The
pen
has
an
80mAh
battery,
which
TECNO
claims
can
allow
for
up
to
two
hours
of
daily
use
for
two
weeks
straight.
However,
since
the
V
Pen
does
not
come
with
the
V
Flip
2,
you’ll
need
to
charge
it
on
its
own,
as
there’s
no
way
to
use
the
phone
to
charge
the
stylus,
like
we
see
on
something
like
the
Galaxy
S24
Ultra.

Once
again,
though,
TECNO
is
mum
on
where
and
when
you’ll
be
able
to
buy
this
and
how
much
it
will
cost.
