The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 5G and V Flip 2 5G were up for pre-order in Ghana between August 19 and August 24. Although the pre-order period has ended, Tecno has not officially launched these foldable devices or announced a specific launch date.
Pricing Details Revealed
However, you don't need to wait for the official release to find out the pricing, as a new leak (via SpillSomeBeans) has disclosed the costs of these gadgets in Ghana. The Phantom V Flip 2, a clamshell foldable, is set to be priced at GHS 9,800 (USD 632) for the 8GB RAM + 256GB storage model. Meanwhile, the Phantom V Fold 2, a book-style foldable, will be offered at GHS 16,550 (USD 1,065) for the top-tier 12GB RAM + 512GB storage variant.
Competitive Pricing Strategy
These pricing points suggest that Tecno is continuing to position its foldables as cost-effective alternatives to more mainstream brands. For example, the book-style Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 is priced at a hefty $1800, and Motorola's least expensive clamshell foldable for 2024 begins at $700.
Specifications and Features
The official specifications of the Phantom V Fold 2 and V Flip 2 remain undisclosed. However, we do have some major details of the book-style foldable, courtesy of FCC and TUV Rheinland certifications. It will feature a dual-cell battery with capacities of 2637mAh and 2973mAh, totaling 5,610mAh. The typical capacity might be around 5,700mAh, comparable to the Vivo X Fold 3 Pro and around 1300mAh more than the Galaxy Z Fold 6. Additionally, it is expected to support 70W fast charging, an enhancement from the 45W charging capability of its predecessor.
Performance-wise, the Phantom V Fold 2 and V Flip 2 are rumored to be powered by the Dimensity 9000 Plus and Dimensity 8050 chipsets, respectively.
