Tecno has introduced the Phantom Ultimate 2 concept, a triple-foldable smartphone that unfolds to reveal a generous 10-inch display. This ultra-flexible design aims to blend compact portability with tablet-like screen real estate, as reported by Portal and GSMArena.
With the device unfolded, users can enjoy a display area rivaling that of traditional tablets. When folded, the LTPO OLED panel delivers a 1620×2880 pixel resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, and a 6.48-inch diagonal. This configuration prioritizes clarity and efficiency for multitasking in tighter pocket-friendly form factors. (Source: Portal via GSMArena)
Tecno highlights a slim profile for the Phantom Ultimate 2, estimating a thickness of about 11 millimeters when folded. The architecture relies on a special double hinge designed to endure up to 300,000 folds while reducing visible creases along the folding lines. The hinge system emphasizes durability and long-term usability for a folding-display device. (Source: Portal via GSMArena)
The company presents multiple usage scenarios to showcase the Phantom Ultimate 2’s versatility. In laptop mode, the lower portion folds to create a virtual keyboard, while a tent mode uses two equal portions to facilitate real-time translation or bilingual conversations between two people. The 10-inch screen is described as capable of multitasking, enabling several apps to run simultaneously for more productive work sessions without sacrificing readability or touch responsiveness.
