The PHANTOM V Fold 2 is what the company describes as the “strongest fold ever,” packing a 5750mAh battery, the largest available in foldable devices. The device boasts a 7.85-inch main display, a 6.42-inch cover screen, and is a giant leap over its predecessor, the first PHANTOM Fold.

First Impressions
TECNO sent me the PHANTOM V2 Fold for review, and I am not exaggerating when I say I was blown away by just how much difference a generation can make. The OG Fold was a 300-gram behemoth that had its moments. But the V2 Fold is thinner, lighter, much better optimised, and has decent cameras.
The battery life is impressive, and TECNO has introduced some fun little foldable features to complement the experience. Despite not being the smallest foldable phone out there, the PHANTOM V2 Fold seems more compact and certainly, when folded, more comfortable to hold.
As for the rest, you’ll have to wait for my full review. Watch this space.
