Tecno Phantom V Fold

Tecno Phantom V Fold

For now, this is the most exciting foldable phone on the market. It’s known as the Tecno Phantom V Fold, and it’s intriguing for two reasons. It’s the first foldable that Tecno has ever created, and yet. Tecno Phantom V Fold the first fully complete foldable phone to be priced at $1,000, the same as most conventional Flagship phones and $700 less than the Samsung Z fold 4. Packing would be a good way to save money, however this comes with a case. The cable as well as a 45 charging brick. It is more than I can say for the majority of high-end headphones.

Now number – nine is that as well as static wallpapers and those snazzy live wallpapers the animate as you open Tecno Phantom V Fold,  Tecno’s also added in a tier above that called perception wallpapers. And this is hands down the most intelligent wallpaper that I’ve ever seen. So for starters it’s completely 3D. You go from a top-down view on the lock screen all the way into the scene. When unlocked then as you scroll and even as you just Wobble the phone around in your hands you see yourself moving around this 3D environment.

It even gets gradually darker as you start to close up the phone and lighter. When you open but the single coolest bit is that it’s also interested into health app. I’ve recently set myself a goal of 6,000 steps minimum each day and every time. I pick up my phone it’s going to show me in the most visual easy to understand way possible how far I am to that Target. So that was a very early thing I noticed but now as I’ve started to use the phone more the next thing don’t know me that. This is not rushed out of the door as soon as possible foldable like. I thought it might be given the price and the fact that Tecno is so new to Tecno Phantom V Fold. It’s very clear that they’ve properly taken their time to introduce some genuinely big brain foldable features there’s floating windows. which you can drag around anywhere from the top and then resize from the bottom.

And then once you’re in your apps you can tap the top to quickly flick between all the different possible ways to display it to best use the big screen you can trace gestures onto your phone to quickly open apps or swipe to control your music even when it’s on standby or how swiping down with three fingers takes a full screenshot of the large screen. And holding with three fingers takes a partial screenshot of a specific section. Tecno Phantom V Fold has a smart panel that lets you quickly fiddled with settings or open apps Smart Touch. Which basically means that holding a finger on either side of the screen will scan for all text and let you instantly edit it and copy. It one of my favorites is that you can always see your three most recent apps on your dock. Showing you the exact State you left those apps in with the ability to then resume them from that state. When you rotate it gives you the option to flick the entire interface and apps to landscape mode and because it’s such a big screen you can also even gray out certain portions of it to stop strangers seeing what you’re up to including choosing how much you want to gray out.

The point is Tecno Phantom V Fold does not just feel like a normal phone with a bigger screen. This company is suggesting will enhance your social life called social turbo. I have to say. There are quite a few of these slightly cringe marketing phrases all around the phone. Super night mode and ultimate video enhancement and so on but this one is seriously useful. It only works for WhatsApp right now. But they’re saying that more apps are coming and it basically just extends the feature set. It lets you project your WhatsApp calls onto both sides of the phone it gives you the option to record calls change your voice or even toggle a switch make you look better during video calls.

You can make your phone flash when you’re receiving a WhatsApp call there’s even Peak mode. Which is kind of sneaky it collects all incoming WhatsApp messages into a separate part of Tecno Phantom V Fold. Which allows you to fully see the contents of them without opening the app and therefore letting the other person know that you’ve seen them alright. So then you’ve got I guess the defining feature of a foldable phone the screens. And while they’re definitely not better here than the absolute best foldables out.

There is some fall off with steep viewing angles and some in interruption from this hole punch camera. They don’t really feel worse which you kind of expect them to given how much more affordable. This is both the inside and the outside screens use OLED Tech. They run 120hz refresh rates both have almost completely symmetrical borders around them which makes the perfectionist inside of me very happy. But what I think is particularly well done here is the screen curvature the inner screen is flat as you’d expect it to be with I’d say the same level of crease that the absolute best competing phones have but the front screen has this quite significant slope.

And Tecno Phantom V Fold goes a long way to counteracting the inconvenience of folding phones being so thick when folded it makes it very easy for your thumb to just rest on the side and then Glide in when you want to activate the back gesture on this Phantom oh and a sub to the channel would be fan C In splatters.

Tecno Phantom V Fold has 7.85-inch LTPO AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 1B color support The phone’s punch hole display has a resolution of 2000 x 2296 pixels and a PPI of 388.

Cover Display:

Tecno Phantom V Fold has 6.42-inch LTPO AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 1B color support The punch hole display phone features a 1080 x 2550 pixel resolution and a PPI of 431.

Tecno Phantom V Fold has an Android 13 operating system and a Mediatek Dimensity 9000+ (4 nm), Octa-core (1.20 GHz Cortex-X2 & 32.85 GHz Cortex-A710 & 41.80 GHz Cortex-A510) CPU.

Which makes it I guess the most powerful folding phone in the world right now since Samsung probably won’t launch theirs till like August. And the nice cherry on top with this chip is that it not just supports dual SIM but two separate 5G Sims at the same time. But it’s really within the camera where you start to see the smartest ways that Tecno have managed to both save costs. While also adding in something new. So for starters it has the standard foldable phone perk of begin able to flip the phone around and use its main set of rear cameras to also take. So healthier and you probably know at this point. I love when phones do this it feels like such a hack because.

Most people are just not ready to see selfies taken with a proper 50 megapixel sensor and so every time they do they double take like that was taken on a phone and when you’re using this rear set of cameras on the front it really is the full set of cameras for some reason the industry default has just become to only give you some of the features when you’re using it on the front. But no this is everything so you can take Ultra wide selfies and proper portrait mode selfies using the dedicated portrait mode lens on the back of this phone plus it means you can take proper 4K video on the front. Which I suppose in itself is nothing new but it’s the sharpness it’s the separation between foreground and background and the surprising lack of grain even the dark areas over here. And then also if you’re taking a photo or video of someone else you can turn on rear screen preview.

So that they can see what you’re seeing. But then it gets different because if you want you can actually take selfies that are even wider than your ultrawide camera using. What they’re calling wide selfie mode you hit the shutter button you pan your phone around and it really smartly stitches it all together into one enormous really high quality shot. That most importantly doesn’t require a single bit of extra Hardware to actually pull off which just makes it resourceful or like if you’re shooting a video of your face and you want it to be brighter. This thing can take advantage of the extra screen space on the inside to turn it into a continuous video lamp or if the cameras are flipped around use the flash on the back instead or to put this all another way.

The common theme you’ll find with Tecno Phantom V Fold is that really does maximize the hardware that it does have and that’s an attitude that I can hardly get behind oh but then I came across the smart Beauty settings. Now I’m not someone who spends a lot of time adding digital makeup to my face. And I’m so grateful for that because there was a time in my life where I had crippling insecurity.

But beauty options on this phone are not just fascinating from a tech perspective but incredibly Advanced while also not creating over the top obviously edited looking photos. So when you’re taking close-up shots of your face you get one set of options. Things like skin tone and eye enlargement and nose slimming. But like look at how precisely it’s identity defying and changing these individual features one at a time. And then when you’re taking photos of someone’s full body you unlock the second set of options.  But the single thing that I appreciate more so than anything else on Tecno Phantom V Fold is battery. While Samsung’s foldable has a 4,400 million power cell Xiaomi’s has 4,500mah power cell this this is sitting at the top of the pack with a 5,000 milliamp hour battery and it can be fully charged in 55 minutes.

So, that’s all for now. Hope you enjoy it.
