Tecno Phantom V Fold2 review

Verdict

The Tecno Phantom V Fold2 is perhaps the most affordable foldable on the Indian market and maybe even outside India too. It's nice to see this cutting-edge tech trickle down to budget-friendly hardware. And yet, in the grand scheme, the device has all the bells and whistles a foldable should have, including a stylus pen support.

However, some corners had to be cut to keep the price low. For instance, the speakers aren't amazing, the charging speed could be better, the battery life is underwhelming, and the chipset feels a little dated in 2024. However, the biggest turn-off for us was the limited max brightness on both displays and the fact that they share a single ambient sensor under the cover screen.

Conversely, the V Fold2 surprises with excellent build quality and thin, lightweight design. It also has a decent camera system too.

So if you are willing to make these compromises, the V Fold2 is probably the most sensible solution in the foldable segment and it won't break the bank as most other foldables do.

Pros

• Excellent thin and lightweight design.
• Minimal internal display crease.
• Feature-rich custom software, stylus pen support.
• Dependable cameras all-around.
• One of the most affordable foldables on the market.

Cons

• Maximum brightness on both displays is not on par with the competition.
• Unsatisfactory battery life.
• Unimpressive loudspeakers.
• Same chipset as the first Phantom V Fold.
