Hey there! If you’re into foldable phones, you’ve probably heard about the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 5G. It’s new, it’s fancy, and it’s now in Nepal.The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 offers high-end features without the steep price of phones like the Galaxy Z Fold.
It has a 7.85-inch inner screen that’s bright and smooth, perfect for watching videos or browsing. The fold line is barely noticeable, and the 6.42-inch outer screen is handy for quick checks. The hinge is strong and can handle many folds, and it’s also water- and dust-resistant. Weighing 249 grams, it feels solid but comfy to hold.
Want to know the price, what’s cool about it, or how it’s different from the older version? Let’s jump in!
Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 Overview
Design and Display
The Phantom V Fold 2 sports a refined look, crafted in collaboration with Spanish luxury brand LOEWE. Available in Karst Green (with a layered fiberglass back) and Rippling Blue (with vegan leather), it’s both stylish and durable. In Nepal, the Karst Green variant is currently available.
- Inner Display: A massive 7.85-inch 2K+ AMOLED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate delivers vibrant colors and smooth scrolling. The crease is minimal (≤0.1mm), making it barely noticeable.
- Cover Display: The 6.42-inch FHD+ AMOLED outer screen is equally fluid at 120Hz, perfect for quick tasks without unfolding.
The hinge, made from aerospace-grade materials, is rated for over 400,000 folds, ensuring long-term durability. It’s also IP54 water and dust-resistant, a rare feature in foldables.
Performance
Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000+ chipset (a 4nm processor clocked at 3.2GHz), the Phantom V Fold 2 handles multitasking and gaming with ease. It comes with 12GB LPDDR5x RAM (expandable by 12GB virtual RAM) and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, doubling the storage of the original V Fold’s base model. While the processor is a couple of years old, it still competes well in its price segment, though it lags behind the latest Snapdragon chips in flagship foldables.
Camera System
The camera setup is impressive:
- Triple 50MP Rear Cameras: A 50MP main sensor with OIS, a 50MP portrait lens (2x optical zoom), and a 50MP ultrawide lens.
- Dual 32MP Front Cameras: One on the cover screen and one inside for selfies and video calls.
Tecno’s Universal Tone Technology enhances skin tone accuracy, making it a solid choice for photography lovers. Daylight shots are sharp, though low-light performance could use some improvement.
Battery and Charging
The 5,750mAh battery is one of the largest in any foldable phone, split across two halves for balance. It supports 70W wired charging (full charge in about 49 minutes) and 15W wireless charging, a step up from the original V Fold’s 45W wired-only charging. In my experience, it easily lasts a full day, even with heavy use.
Software
It runs Android 14 with Tecno’s HiOS 14.5. It is easy to use, especially with the big screen, you can split it to do two things at once. The pen works for drawing or notes, and there’s an AI helper called Ella that does neat things like translating or making wallpapers. Tecno says you’ll get updates for a few years, which is cool.
Connectivity
The Phantom V Fold 2 supports 5G with multiple bands for fast connectivity. It also includes Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and GNSS for precise navigation. The stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos deliver immersive sound, making it great for media consumption. At 249 grams, it’s lighter than the original V Fold (299g), though still heftier than some competitors like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 (239g).

How’s It Different From the First V Fold?
The original Tecno Phantom V Fold came out in 2023. It had a big screen too (7.85 inches), the same chip, and a 5,000mAh battery. Here’s what’s better in the V Fold 2:
- Bigger battery: 5,750mAh vs. 5,000mAh.
- Faster charging: 70W + wireless vs. just 45W.
- More storage: 512GB vs. 256 GB.
- Lighter and thinner: 249g vs. 299g.
It costs a little more, but you’re getting a lot of upgrades for the price.
Tecno Phantom V Fold 2: Conclusion
The Tecno Phantom V Fold 2 is an awesome deal. It’s perfect if you want a foldable phone with a big screen, a battery that lasts all day. It works well too, and it doesn’t cost as much as fancy brands like Samsung or Vivo. The chip inside isn’t the newest, and the camera isn’t great in the dark, but that’s okay for how little it costs.
