Elegant, Premium, Pocket-sized Perfection

PHANTOM V Flip 5G transports users to a new dimension of high-end luxury with a sophisticated and elegant cosmic-inspired aesthetic. When folded, the device's "The Planet" round cover screen catches the eye with its deep black display that reflects the darkness of outer space. Breaking from traditional foldable design language, the "Asteroid Belt-Shaped" camera module is perfectly integrated into the screen, giving the phone a uniquely sleek, sophisticated appearance.

The device's refined look is elevated by its sophisticated colors and materials. For style-minded individuals, PHANTOM V Flip 5G's premium lychee-pattern classic leather adds to its high-end look and feel, being the same material as that used in luxury fashion and top-of-the-range vehicles. PHANTOM V Flip 5G is available in a choice of two stylish colors: Mystic Dawn and Iconic Black.

PHANTOM V Flip 5G also promises to add a new sensory dimension to smartphone technology, with the device soon to be available with a fragranced protective case. The case incorporates fragrant microcapsules into the leather production process, with scent being slowly released by pressure, friction heating, or natural diffusion.

The slightly narrower main screen was developed following extensive research to offer natural and comfortable one-handed use.

Reimagining Cover Screen Style and Convenience

PHANTOM V Flip 5G reimagines comfortable use and delightful design with its unique "The Planet" Personalized Versatile Cover Screen. The circular, centrally positioned 1.32-inch AMOLED screen has been meticulously designed for easy one-thumb control, with convenient swiping from every angle.

The 352ppi screen lets users create fun displays that work for their own needs, with customizable wallpapers, Tmojis, 3D interactive virtual pets, and more. With just the swipe of a thumb, users can access their camera for easy Swipe Shots, play music, and quickly reply to messages. Making things even easier, the screen features customizable Smart Widgets, including the weather forecast, vitality rings, timer, sound recording, agenda, stopwatch, and alarms, so users don't even need to open their phones to stay up to date.

Besides the cover screen, PHANTOM V Flip 5G flips open to reveal an ultra-big 6.9-inch FHD+ 2640x1080 main screen. The supremely flat, crease-less display delivers a captivating experience thanks to TECNO's self-design drop-shaped hinge and a thinner, lighter screen. Meanwhile, a 10-120Hz LTPO refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling (single and double finger) allow awesome fluidity with lower power consumption.

Charge in a Flash, Go All Day

There's nothing fashionable about running out of charge. That's why PHANTOM V Flip 5G is equipped with a 4000mAh Super Battery, so users can show their style all day long without worrying about a dead battery. When the device does need a boost, 45W Flash Charging means it won't need long to be back to full power. In fact, 15 minutes of charging is enough to reach 50%, and just 45 minutes is all that's needed for a full recharge.

Powerful Flip Phone Performance

Ensuring PHANTOM V Flip 5G delivers substance as well as style is a powerful triathlon of features. First is the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8050 5G chip which delivers cutting-edge performance with excellent energy efficiency. The 6nm TSMC chip lets users enjoy superbly smooth operation that glides seamlessly between windows.

Second, the device boasts an 8GB RAM and 256GB ROM memory to easily meet the needs of users' long-term daily use while reducing lagging issues. Extended Memory (which supports memory expansion of up to 8GB), Memory Anti-Aging, and Memory Slimming allow users to further optimize the device's performance in line with their memory needs.

The First Device Equipped with HiOS 13.5

PHANTOM V Flip 5G is TECNO's first device to feature the new HiOS 13.5 operating system, an optimized OS based on Google's Android 13. HiOS 13.5 lets users make the most of all of the benefits of a flip smartphone, from image-making and editing to hovering video calls and useful Smart Widgets.
