Tecno Phantom V Fold 5G (12GB RAM, 256GB ROM) Dual Sim

Tecno Phantom V Fold – 7.85″ (12GB RAM, 256GB ROM) Android 13 (50/50/13)MP + 16MP/32MP Selfies – Dual – NFC – 5000mAh – Black

The Phantom has the better proportions of foldables that aren’t the Galaxy – the cover screen is larger and so much more usable than the one on the Samsung, and the foldable display on the inside is bigger too. 120Hz OLED screen

You do get a pretty capable camera system with a couple of 50MP units for main and tele, plus an autofocusing ultrawide – when are we ever getting AF on an UW on a Samsung foldable?

Unlike the bulk of foldables, the Tecno has a Mediatek chipset at its heart. The Dimensity 9000+ is about on par with the Snapdragon 8(+) Gen 1 though, so the Phantom V Fold is anything but underpowered. And with 12GB of RAM as standard and 256GB storage, you won’t be pressed for memory either.

Other small niceties include 45W fast charging, stereo speakers, and an FM radio – flagship Snapdragons dropped that a while ago. It’s a most welcome sight that the V Fold runs Android 13, so its software is current, too (also quite capable, it turns out).
