Design and Display
The Phantom V Flip has a unique design that sets it apart from other foldable phones. The back cover has a circular OLED display that measures 1.32 inches and has a resolution of 466 x 466 pixels. The display shows the time, date, battery level, and notifications. The front cover opens up to reveal a 6.9-inch foldable LTPO AMOLED display that has a resolution of 1080 x 2640 pixels and a pixel density of 413 ppi. The display supports a variable refresh rate of 120Hz. The phone measures 171.7 x 74.1 x 7 mm when unfolded and 88.8 x 74.1 x 15 mm when folded. It weighs 194 grams, which is relatively light for a foldable phone.
Performance and Storage
The Phantom V Flip is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8050 chipset, which is a 6nm octa-core processor that consists of one Cortex-A78 core clocked at 3.0GHz, three Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.6GHz, and four Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 2.0GHz. The Mali-G77 MC9 GPU in the chipset manages the graphics performance. The phone has 256GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM. The phone runs on Android 13 with Tecno’s custom HIOS 13.5 skin on top.
Camera System
The Phantom V Flip has two rear cameras: a 64MP primary camera with an f/1.7 aperture and PDAF, and a 13MP ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 aperture and PDAF. The cameras can capture detailed and vibrant photos in good lighting conditions but struggle in low-light situations. The front camera is hidden under the foldable display and pops up when needed. It is a 32MP camera with an f/2.5 aperture and PDAF. The camera supports face unlock and can capture respectable selfies.
Battery and Connectivity
The phone supports dual SIM cards and has connectivity options such as Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/6, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, NFC, and USB Type-C port. The phone also supports both SA and NSA bands of the 5G network, which means it can deliver fast and stable internet speeds. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner that also doubles as a power button. With a 4,000mAh battery that supports 45W cable fast charging, the phone can go from being completely discharged to 50% charged in just 15 minutes.
