Tecno broke into the foldable smartphone market in 2023, toting one of the most premium main screens of the year in the process. Now, its Android 14-powered iteration is tipped to launch soon. The Phantom V Fold2 5G is slated to run on a high-end chipset from MediaTek and have a 50MP main camera - then again, so did its predecessor.

The Phantom V Fold debuted in the same year as the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold5, with the larger (and higher resolution) main AMOLED display of the 2, yet is one of the cheapest foldable smartphones on the Indian market, at INR 69,999 (~$834) on Amazon.in today (August 16, 2024).

The first-gen V Fold also has a distinctive camera hump (even for a foldable smartphone) with a 50MP f/1.9 main shooter: something unchanged in its upcoming successor, according to Camera FV-5.

In addition, a Geekbench result now linked to the V Fold2 (via the alleged model number AE10) lists an SoC of the same specs as the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ SoC of its predecessor. It also still has 12GB of RAM, although it runs Android 14 while the original V Fold remains on Android 13.

Therefore, if the Phantom V Fold2 5G has any other significant upgrades, they are not immediately apparent from its initial leaks.
