Tecno Phantom V Flip2 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Tecno Phantom V Flip2 - how to join innovations for reasonable money

Folding smartphones are stylish, convenient, technological, but far from the cheapest. The high cost of manufacturing phones with a similar form factor automatically moves them to the upper price segment. But the hero of today's review breaks the usual stereotypes, although it was possible to achieve a democratic price tag with the help of some compromises.

The appearance of the new product is more than attractive, but they saved a little on the assembly materials. So, the expected tempered glass and metal are replaced by polycarbonates, albeit high-quality ones. But the overall compactness, thin frames of both screens, a beautiful dual camera unit and well-chosen colors leave a positive impression. Both the main flexible 6.9-inch (2640x1080 pixels) and the additional 3.64-inch (1066x1056 pixels) AMOLED displays are characterized by a brightness reserve of almost 1500 nits, natural color rendition. However, it is the larger of them that has a 120 Hz refresh rate and literally no PWM effect.

The technical specifications are not flagship, but more than good. The combination of the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 processor, 8 GB of RAM and the Mali G77MC9 video adapter scores a respectable 750 thousand points in the AnTuTu benchmark, which achieves both good performance of the Android 14 interface and the performance of modern games. Even Fortnite and Zenless Zone Zero will delight you with excellent graphics at medium-high presets. Autonomy is also not bad. A 4720 mAh battery magically fits into a compact case, and even with a fast charge of 70 W (30 minutes from 0 to 100%). As a result, you will only have to look for sockets once every day and a half. The permanent memory is 256 GB, there is no slot for MicroSD cards.

A pair of 50-megapixel (the main sensor with hybrid stabilization and a wide-angle lens) are almost as good as their non-folding counterparts in terms of photo capabilities. Even evening shots in 99% of cases are not devoid of detail with a minimum of noise and blur. The stereo sound is not particularly loud, but voluminous and balanced. NFC contactless payments, 5G support will be extra reasons to pay attention to the device, because there are not so many inexpensive clamshells.
