TECNO’s New Ultra-thin PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 Tri-Fold Concept Opens Up a World of Big Experiences

Addis Ababa – September 5, 2024.

Innovative technology brand TECNO today teased its groundbreaking PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 – an ultra-thin tri-fold concept smartphone that reimagines the large-screen experience in a pocket-sized device. In its folded form, PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 is the thinnest among existing triple-folding models, measuring just 11mm in thickness. Unfolded, it reveals a giant 10” screen with TDDI technology for the first time in a foldable device. The new concept offers a glimpse into a more immersive, convenient and exciting future foldable smartphone experience. Building on previous designs, it addresses key pain points like hinge durability, camera performance, and software optimization, marking a significant leap forward in foldable innovation.

Ultra-thin Tri-Fold Design

PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2’s innovative tri-fold screen transforms the device from a standard candy bar smartphone into an incredible tablet-like large-screen device. Crucially, the tri-fold design does not mean a major compromise on thickness, measuring 11mm when folded, thanks to an innovative and thinner hinge that enables existing bi-fold models to achieve a thickness of less than 9mm. The device features the smartphone industry’s thinnest battery cover measuring just 0.25mm thanks to super compressed Titan Advanced Fiber material. Compared to the industry’s current thinnest 0.45mm thickness, this advanced material brings sufficient strength while allowing a thinner form.  

Huge Immersive and Less Creased Screen with Super Durability and Thinner Hinges

Unfolding from a 6.48” candy bar phone into an impressive 10” 4:3 ratio large-screen tablet-style device, PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 gives users more flexibility to users to use the device as they wish. To support this upgrade in convenience, the device features OLED Touch and Display Driver Integration (TDDI) and an advanced 3K LTPO screen with 392 PPI.

Empowering the tri-fold screen experience is a state-of-the-art hinge design with incredible 2100MPa strength. The hinges can support over 300,000 folds, exceeding most folding devices and offering exceptional device longevity and folding smoothness. The hinges also contribute to the device’s superbly flat screen, minimizing the crease visibility for more immersive viewing pleasure.

Unleashing Versatile Scenarios and Optimized UI for a Cutting-Edge Foldable Experience

PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2 supports screen hovering to open up new possibilities across a diverse range of scenarios, from work to entertainment and daily life. For communicating across language barriers, the device can be folded into tent mode for dual-screen face-to-face real-time AI translation.  PHANTOM ULTIMATE 2’s advanced software and UI specifically optimized for the tri-fold design further enhance the utility of its cutting-edge hardware. For example, the device supports dynamic wallpapers and adaptive icons that adjust with folding and unfolding, while the UI layout is adapted for diverse use cases such as large-screen viewing and tent mode, as well as having the potential for exciting third-party app adaption.
