Highlights: PHANTOM Ultimate G Fold -
Innovative Inward-Folding Design -
Unlike conventional tri-fold concepts that leave the display exposed, TECNO’s design folds the screen inward in two stages, offering greater protection when closed. A dedicated external display provides a standard smartphone interface for regular use.
Custom Dual-Hinge Mechanism -
The folding system incorporates two hinges: a smaller waterdrop-style hinge for the first fold and a larger hinge to close the second segment. A locking mechanism ensures a seamless closure with no visible gaps.
Hover and Folded Viewing Modes -
The larger hinge features a dual-camera module and supports flexible positioning, enabling the device to remain open at various angles. This functionality is ideal for hands-free viewing or multitasking.
Ultra-Slim Build -
The PHANTOM Ultimate G Fold sets a new benchmark with its slim design, measuring just 11.49mm when folded and 3.49mm when fully open, making it the thinnest tri-fold device to date. This is achieved using materials such as 2000 MPa high-strength steel and a 0.3mm Titan Fiber rear panel.
Flagship-Class Internals -
Although full specifications are still under wraps, the concept features a triple-camera setup, a high-performance chipset, and a battery capacity exceeding 5,000mAh, ensuring a premium experience in a compact form.
TECNO’s Foldable Vision -
The PHANTOM Ultimate G Fold follows the company’s previous concept, the PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2, introduced at MWC 2025. These innovations showcase TECNO’s continued investment in advanced foldable designs and materials.
What’s Next -
TECNO has announced plans to showcase the PHANTOM Ultimate G Fold at MWC 2026. Key details — such as cover screen size, overall weight, and the chipset brand — will be revealed at the event. The company is also expected to unveil updates to its Phantom V Flip and V Fold series.
