Tecno made a surprisingly triumphant entry into the foldable market with its Tecno Phantom V Fold smartphone. The ‘V’ suffix represents the phone’s shape when it’s half open, and the Phantom in its name signifies that it belongs to Tecno’s elite line of phones.

In short, potential buyers should expect the Phantom V Fold to perform excellently but at an insane price. If you’re willing to try Tecno’s first try at a foldable, there are a few things to note, like its price and features.

Talking about the price, this article will outline the Tecno Phantom V Fold in Nigeria across different e-commerce stores. About the features, however, we’ll show you the full specifications of the phone to help you understand what you’re getting for the money. Without more ado, let’s jump into the article.

What’s the Tecno Phantom V Fold Price in Nigeria?

The Tecno Phantom V Fold is for an exquisite Nigerian audience, the type of smartphone buyers willing to pay as much as necessary to get the latest and greatest. Here’s how much you should expect to pay for the phone on Jumia, Konga, and other Nigerian e-commerce stores.

Tecno Phantom V Fold Specifications

Checkout some of it’s special features:

Display

Like every other foldable phone, the Phantom V Fold has two displays, a smaller screen you can use when the phone is closed and a larger tablet-like display that automatically turns on when you open the phone. On both, Tecno uses a vibrant LTPO AMOLED panel unlike anything else we’ve seen from the brand.

The smaller display has a resolution of 1080 x 2550, which is standard on most Phantom smartphones. On the other hand, the larger foldable screen has a whopping 2000 x 2296 pixels, a first from the company. Both screens reach 1100 nits peak brightness, making them comfortable to view in sunlight.

Processor

The Phantom V Fold uses a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip, which remains the best Tecno has included in a smartphone yet. This professor has eight cores: one running at 3.2 GHz, three at 2.85 GHz, and four at 1.8 GHz. That way, it balances excellent performance with great battery life, making it one of the best processors you can get.

The chip has a Mali G710 GPU for improved performance in graphical activities like gaming and video editing. In short, the Dimensity 9000 and Mali G710 combo makes running top-of-the-line line mobile games too easy.

Battery

The Tecno Phantom V uses a 5,000 mAh battery, which isn’t terrible in and of itself. However, this device has two screens, with one having at least 2,000 pixels, both vertically and horizontally. The battery won’t last nearly as long as on Tecno phones with weak processors and 1600 x 700 display resolutions.

In any case, 5000 mAh is a big battery, and it should be able to keep up with competitors like Samsung and Huawei. If you expect the battery to last as long as a Tecno Pop, you may need to lower your expectations.

Cameras

Like the display, the Tecno Phantom V has a revolutionary camera system reflective of the uniqueness of foldable phones. You get a triple camera setup on the back, including a 50 MP primary sensor and another 50 MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. Lastly, you get a third 13 MP ultrawide camera with a 120° field of view for wide shots.

The camera you get on the front depends on which ‘front’ you can see. When the device is wide open, it’s a large 7.85″ screen featuring a 16 MP lens. When the device is covered, on the other hand, the selfie camera is a 32 MP wide camera that’s much better than the 16 you get on the main display.

If you plan to take plenty of selfies on this phone, you better do it with the phone closed.

RAM/Internal Storage

Unlike most Tecno phones in the Phantom lineup, the Phantom V Fold has two models: a 256GB internal storage variant and a 512GB model. They both feature 12GB of RAM, and apart from the storage size itself, there’s virtually no difference between the two phones.

Before buying the cheaper version, you should note that there’s no SD card slot for storage expansion, so you’re stuck with whatever storage you buy unless you’re willing to buy Google Drive storage.

Water-Resistance

We don’t expect foldable phones like the Phantom V Fold to have IP68 water resistance, but like the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4, Tecno should try. While the Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 features an IPX8 ingress protection rating, the Phantom V Fold has none, so don’t use your Phantom V Fold in or near water.

Operating System

The Tecno Phantom V Fold comes with HiOS 13 Fold, a custom operating system skin by Tecno based on the Fold version of Android 13. As a foldable phone with insane specs, the Phantom V Fold runs the operating system seamlessly, and we have zero complaints in this department.

However, what may turn out to be a complaint is upgrades. Traditionally, Tecno is notorious for not providing updates for any of its devices, but the Phantom X getting the Android 13 update gives us some hope for this device.

Tecno Phantom V Fold – user opinions and reviews

One of the best looking phones of the past few years Not everyone can pull off the gold colour without looking tacky – @sahilpatni

I feel like Tecno and Lava is like the Meizu, HTC, etc of Indian market. You can get good value, but only for the specific model. The name does not inspire confidence, but if you’re willing to take the risk you can end up with a good phone. – @asadfarraj

I feel, if foldable phones get support of stylus then it will be a deal-breaker. All the time we shouldn’t have to carry ipad or tabs. As s23 ultra gets a s-pen support with it, but the screen size is narrow that’s where it doesn’t use it’s full potential.A foldable phone with a stylus support will take both tablet’s and phone’s use case in one and also laptops in coming future.Endless possibilities. – @sumitdhar9353

This is a good move from techno. This technology should come to mass market. Hope that will happen in the near future 🤞- @maheshkumarsubramaniam6647
