Tecno has just introduced two new foldable smartphones—the Phantom V Fold2 and Phantom V Flip2—both featuring the company's new AI Suite. This marks the first time Tecno is offering pre-installed AI capabilities on their devices.

Phantom V Fold2:

Building on the success of its predecessor, the Phantom V Fold2 retains the powerful Dimensity 9000+ processor and the dual displays—a 7.85-inch inner display and a 6.42-inch cover screen. The most significant improvement, however, is its sleeker and lighter design. The phone measures just 6.1mm thin when unfolded and weighs a mere 249 grams, making it much more portable despite housing a larger battery.

One of the standout features is the Ella AI assistant, which is powered by Google’s Gemini AI. The assistant offers:

• Smart Q&A for real-time responses
• AI Translation during calls
• AI Writing for text summarization, content creation, and proofreading
• AI Wallpaper generation from text prompts
• AI Artboard for turning rough sketches into detailed designs.

The camera setup includes three 50MP sensors for wide, ultra-wide, and portrait shots, along with two 32MP selfie cameras—one on the inner display and one on the cover screen. Additionally, the 24GB RAM (12GB physical + 12GB virtual) and 512GB storage make it ideal for power users. It also features a 5,750mAh battery with 70W wired and 15W wireless charging support, all for an affordable price of $1,099. The Phantom V Fold2 will be available in Africa from September 23, followed by other regions like Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.

Phantom V Flip2:

The Phantom V Flip2 brings a fresh approach to Tecno’s flip-style foldables. The most noticeable upgrade is the 3.64-inch square cover display with 1,056 x 1,056 resolution, replacing the smaller circular screen from the previous version. The main display is a 6.9-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with Full HD+ resolution.

Despite the improved display, the Flip2 remains lightweight at under 200 grams and has a compact design, measuring 7.6mm thin when unfolded and 16mm when folded. The cover screen can now handle over 2,000 apps without needing to open the main display and supports a full keyboard for quick messaging and dialing. Tecno also introduced fun interactive features like customizable pets and a desktop application center for multitasking.

Both devices demonstrate Tecno's commitment to offering high-quality foldables with competitive features and pricing, positioning them as strong contenders in the global smartphone market.
