Tecno Unveils Tri-Fold Prototype Phone with 10-Inch Screen
Tecno unveiled a prototype tri-fold phone called the Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2 with a 10-inch screen. The tri-fold phone measures only 11mm when folded, demonstrating impressive engineering with three layers of screens. The innovative design enables novel usage scenarios, such as placing the phone in various positions for different functionalities.
Modern foldable phones are slightly thicker than regular phones, but they provide impressive durability, as evidenced by various durability tests and personal experiences.
The evolution of foldable phone technology has reached a new milestone, as Tecno has revealed a prototype tri-fold phone. The Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2 is an innovative device with a single 10-inch screen that folds at two points, forming a Z shape when compacted.
Although the Tecno tri-fold phone is still a prototype and not yet ready for release, the rate of innovation in Chinese technology suggests a possible market debut within a year. Rumours also point to Huawei developing its own tri-fold phone, which is shrouded in secrecy except for a few leaks.
According to Tecno's press materials, the folded form of the prototype tri-fold phone measures only 11mm, which is impressive considering it has three layers of screens. Aside from providing a larger full screen when unfolded, the tri-fold design allows for unique features such as adjusting the hinge angle to prop the phone in various positions, potentially enabling laptop-like usage or dual-screen functionality.
Tecno claims that the tri-fold phone's hinge is strong enough to hold any angle securely, similar to modern foldable phones, and supports stylus input. However, because this is still a prototype awaiting public display, these claims must be approached with caution, despite previous positive experiences with Tecno's foldable models.
Excitement grows as Huawei's tri-fold phone is spotted in public, being used by Huawei employees, implying that a tri-fold phone will soon be available in the real world.
