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.
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.
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.
Details on a formal market launch date or price point were not disclosed at the time of the announcement.
Previously, Apple reportedly warned that opening the iPhone 16 ahead of its release could carry a substantial fine. The juxtaposition of anticipated devices and potential regulatory considerations underscores the evolving landscape for premium foldables and the broader tech ecosystem.
