Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Shekhar Thakran]()
Verdict
For its selling price, the Phantom V Fold 2 is a great option. It shows improvement in almost every way over its predecessor and while it might not be as powerful as other foldable phones in the market, it delivers in a big way at an affordable price point. While the phone lags behind in the camera department, it comes with great 120Hz LTPO displays, brilliant design, and an impressive user interface.
Pros
- Attractive design with barely visible crease.
- Vibrant 120Hz LTPO displays.
- Intuitive user interface.
- Entry-level pricing for foldable phones.
Cons
- Old processor.
- Low-light camera performance.
Design and display
+
The Phantom V Fold 2 has a horizontally folding design but looks quite different from its predecessor, thanks to its rectangular camera setup. The phone still features a curved cover display, which makes it easy to hold in the hand. Having mentioned the in-hand feel, I'll add that the V Fold 2 feels quite compact compared to some of the other foldable phones on the market.The handset sits firmly in the hand with its vegan leather back and doesn't feel slippery. The power and volume buttons, located on the right spine of the phone, are easily accessible even when you're using the phone with one hand. One thing to note is that you might struggle to find the power button without looking for it as it does not protrude as prominently as the volume rocker. To me, this felt like a fair tradeoff because it was done to offer an embedded fingerprint sensor. I have long believed that the best place for a fingerprint sensor is embedded within the power button, not under the display. So it is good to see it here.The curved sides of the phone will remind you of the Galaxy Z Fold series from Samsung but the similarity pretty much starts and ends there. Tecno says that the Phantom V Fold 2 has been designed in collaboration with Spain-based luxury fashion house LOEWE and its signature minimalist elegance. The 'Designed by LOEWE' branding on the hinge does add an elegant touch to the phone. The same branding is also present on the rectangular camera setup at the back, which is less elegant in comparison.While the camera setup does introduce a bump to the phone, it is not uneven. This means that the phone doesn't wobble when it's lying on a flat surface. Most phones these days feature massive bumps for their camera modules, so I think this is still one of the better implementations. The "aerospace-grade" proprietary hinge design has a crease of less than 0.1mm and offers a free-stand from 30-120 degrees. The brand says that the phone offers high durability of over 4,00,000 folds, which is always a good reassurance to have.SmartphoneDisplay size (inches)Peak brightnessTecno Phantom V Fold 26.42 / 7.85 AMOLED1600 nitsOnePlus Open6.31 / 7.82 AMOLED2800 nits

The Phantom V Fold 2 comes with OmniVision's OV50H 1/1.3-inch 50MP camera sensor as its primary shooter. This camera sensor comes with OIS support and offers a 1.2um pixel size. The secondary camera at the back of the phone is a 50MP portrait shooter with up to 2x optical zoom and 20x digital zoom. These cameras are assisted by a tertiary 50MP ultrawide shooter with a field-of-view of 115 degrees.Broadly speaking, I was happy with the camera performance offered by the V Fold 2. Whether you consider the details captured by the phone, colour accuracy, or the dynamic range, the phone was decent on all fronts. The main issue I faced with the camera performance was in low-light scenarios. The handset produced shots in these conditions that showcased noise and grain. Despite using the night mode, the phone struggled with clicking images in low-light situations.

Performance and Software

At the core of Phantom V Fold 2, you'll find the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset. This is a chipset that was launched more than 2 years ago and although it is quite capable, it is outperformed by some of the recent chipsets from both MediaTek and Qualcomm. This is not to say that the Phantom V Fold 2 shows any major performance issues, but it doesn't achieve the best scores in our benchmarks. The handset comes with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM (further 9GB of expandable RAM), and 512GB of UFS 3.1 storage. Much like other flagship handsets, you don't get an option to expand the storage here.

Battery and charging
+
With a sizeable battery capacity of 5,750mAh, the Phantom V Fold 2 looks promising on paper. However, in the PCMark battery test, the handset could only manage to offer a backup of 6 hours and 29 minutes. While this duration looks average, in general usage, the phone fares better. Usually, I got a battery backup of more than a day of moderate usage on a single charge. For a foldable smartphone, this is a pretty decent backup.As far as charging speeds are concerned, the handset supports 70W wired fast charging and supports 15W wireless charging too. As the phone refuels quite quickly, I never felt like charging it overnight, which is great for the longevity of the battery too.SmartphonesCharging speedsCharging time (20-100 percent)Tecno Phantom V Fold 270W45 minutesOnePlus Open67W34 minutes
