TECNO, the trailblazing technology brand, has launched its latest innovation: the PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2—an ultra-thin tri-fold smartphone that reimagines the large-screen experience while fitting easily into your pocket.
When folded, the PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 boasts the thinnest profile among all existing tri-fold devices, measuring an impressive 11mm. Fully unfolded, it reveals a stunning 10-inch display, becoming the first foldable device to feature TDDI technology.
This groundbreaking concept offers a preview of the future of foldable smartphones, promising a more immersive, convenient, and thrilling user experience. TECNO has refined previous designs by tackling key challenges such as hinge durability, camera performance, and software optimization, setting a new standard for foldable innovation.
The cutting-edge tri-fold screen transforms this device from a typical smartphone into a tablet-sized large-screen device. Remarkably, this tri-fold design maintains a slim profile even when folded, thanks to an advanced, thinner hinge, allowing it to match or exceed the thickness of existing bi-fold models, which are less than 9mm thick.
A standout feature is the industry's thinnest battery cover, measuring just 0.25mm. Crafted from a highly compressed Titan Advanced Fiber material, it not only minimizes thickness but also provides exceptional strength, improving on the current industry standard of 0.45mm. The camera design is also streamlined to enhance the device's thinness and lightness without sacrificing image quality. Positioned on one side, the camera improves the device's balance, making it more comfortable to hold.
Transforming from a 6.48” candy bar phone into a 10” large-screen tablet with a 4:3 ratio, the PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 offers great flexibility, allowing users to adjust the device according to their needs. Enhancing this versatility, the device features OLED Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) along with a 3K LTPO screen, delivering 392 PPI for stunning visual clarity.
Central to the tri-fold experience is an advanced hinge design with a remarkable 2100MP strength. Built to endure over 300,000 folds, the hinge far surpasses most folding devices, ensuring durability and smooth operation. This hinge design also contributes to a nearly crease-free screen for a more immersive viewing experience.
The PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 offers versatile functionality with its innovative tri-fold design and screen hovering capabilities. It can transform into a laptop-style setup for typing and note-taking, fold into tent mode for real-time AI translation, and support multi-window mode for efficient multitasking.
The advanced software and UI are optimized for the tri-fold design, featuring dynamic wallpapers and adaptive icons that adjust with folding and unfolding. The UI layout seamlessly adapts for various uses, such as large-screen viewing and tent mode, with potential for third-party app integration, making this phone a highly durable and innovative device.
This advanced phone is the latest in a series of visionary concepts from PHANTOM, TECNO’s premium sub-brand known for delivering cutting-edge and stylish technologies to users who demand the best.
Building on the success of the PHANTOM Ultimate rolling screen concept, which demonstrated the sub-brand’s prowess in screen innovation, the PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 pushes the envelope further with its avant-garde tri-fold design. This concept redefines the interaction between users and their smartphones, offering exciting large-screen possibilities and pushing the limits of technology.
The launch of the PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 underscores TECNO’s dedication to pioneering technologies and sets the stage for further advancements in foldable devices.
With the upcoming release of the second-generation foldable models, the PHANTOM V Fold2 5G and PHANTOM V Flip2 5G, TECNO continues to lead the charge in transforming the user experience.
