Tecno has been rumored to be working on a foldable flip phone for a while now. This model was originally believed to be called the Phantom V Yoga, but now, a Bluetooth SIG sighting has revealed that its official moniker is the Phantom V Flip. Just a couple of weeks prior, we had covered a leak that revealed live images of the supposed ‘Phantom V Yoga’ model. Looking at this image, we can tell that the device features a clamshell folding display on a horizontal mechanism. This foldable handset is rumored to be a mid range flip phone and will likely rival other clamshell folding phones in the market, including the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 model.
Looking at the Bluetooth SIG
certification, the new Tecno foldable phone will be dubbed the Phantom V Flip
5G. The Bluetooth SIG sighting reveals that the device will carry the AD11
model number. The online listing confirms that the Phantom V Flip will support
Bluetooth 5.3 and hints that its launch is not too far away as well. This means
that it is possible that the foldable phone will launch sometime in the second
half of this year.
Based on our previous report, the Tecno
Phantom V Flip 5G will sport a FHD+ resolution display. Furthermore, it could
be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 8050 SoC that is paired with 8GB of RAM
(supporting up to 8GB virtual RAM expansion) and 256GB of internal storage.
Other rumored specs include 4,000mAh battery pack with 66W fast charging,
Android 13 OS based HiOS 13, 32 megapixel selfie camera, and a 64 megapixel
dual camera setup on the rear.
