Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2 Reaction | This Concept is INSANE!

[@jkpiowa]

Even if it's just a concept, I love phones getting exciting again. Something new and different.

[@ProudDMims]

Same.

[@charlieringor4187]

This gave me back the excitement I had over mobile phones back in the early 2000s.

[@TOPDadAlpha]

I like it only if the manufacturer gives a lifetime warranty on the screens. Tecno produces a foldable device that looks pretty good. It's popular in Asia.

[@NeonVisual]

No foldable panels exist with a lifetime warranty, you wouldn't even get that in an LCD panel.

[@majtechtings]

Imagine this device with the OnePlus open's minimal crease and an open canvas even WITH the three apps on screen where you can access full screen apps horizontally or vertically. I'm probably fantasy booking what I'd want this to be, (which is a multitasking powerhouse.) but i'm intrigued by this foldable.

[@sandrahiltz]

Looks great, I just wish they would stop with these accordion style dual folding phones, folding OLEDs simply don't have the durability to be on the outside like that, they really need to have a letter fold style where the left or right side fold over the front of the middle and the other side folds over that with a separate cover screen on the back side of that section.

[@saqqawattuhb7505]

Exactly what I imagined and it's doable too.

[@GtheJuggler]

Samsung display has a prototype like that without a cover display. It would be thicker than 11 mm with a cover display for sure but at least it would be practical 😊

[@nugzmedallion8929]

Considering that there's already a phone like this out in "the wild" (I know it's an executive holding a concept device as well but still) I don't think we're too far off from seeing a company try to be the first one to release a "tri-folding" (I'm actually with you on your point from a while ago: it only folds twice idk why they call it TRI fold smh) foldable for consumers. I wouldn't be willing to be a first adopter of one of these phones, but after a couple generations, I would absolutely be willing to switch from the traditional foldables I now use (I refuse to go back to regular phones now lol) to a "tri-foldable" SIMPLY so I can actually watch a proper 4K, fullscreen video THAT WILL FILL OUT THE ENTIRE SCREEN!!!

[@calvinnguyen2422]

100% I feel with U... I will never buy any 1st generation of anything... I'm using the Galaxy Fold 2 (for 4 yrs) now... I've ordered the P9FP 512gb Porcelain and can't wait till it's the 4th of September... I will refuse to ever go back to any normal slab phone...😜

[@nacho3570]

The rumors right now point to the Huawei tri-fold (I, too, hate that name) being released at the end of September (only in China though)

[@nugzmedallion8929]

@@calvinnguyen2422 I had a Galaxy Z Fold2 as well; bought it shortly after launch and I owned it all the way until January of this year when I upgraded to a OnePlus Open. I just love the folding tablet form factor.

[@nugzmedallion8929]

@@nacho3570 Yeah it is unfortunate we don't get the same access to the Chinese phone companies like Huawei, Vivo, Honor, etc, because some of them are making FANTASTIC devices that just wont work 100% of the way you want them to if you're not in China, with the exception of "international versions" that some of them will release several months after their initial launch in China. I would have considered getting an Honor Magic V3 instead of a OnePlus Open if Honor had launched an international version alongside the Chinese one, but I still love the Open. See Oppo figured it out by having a second, separate sister company in OnePlus for international releases that can't be tied down by China's business policies, and all they have to do is change the model name. I'd love to see Honor do the same.

[@Arsenic0017]

The sloped "fatter" part with the cameras would make holding it in tablet mode easier to grip. You'd have to hold it with your right hand though and use the left hand for you main touch interactions.

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Could just rotate it upside down you know.

[@Arsenic0017]

@@InvidiousIgnoramus are your sure? You can't rotate the pixel fold upside down. The screen won't flip that way

[@PookieMaliboo]

Now thats a foldable I could get into :)

[@jamesmullins9127]

Yep 10 inches is a lot to have in your pocket

[@ryan2824]

you get use to it

[@dandesjardins2552]

I will definitely jump to trifold as soon as i can for sure

[@liamcollinson5695]

It makes me wonder if a similar design could happen on a laptop

[@DaRazorback]

I know many people call them tri-fold devices, but aren't they really bi-fold devices that fold in two different places.

[@user-uk9fl2ky2w]

Samsung showed off a concept fold where you could fold it in two directions. They should absolutely do this with the double-fold (tri-fold) so you can choose whether you want a cover screen or more durability .

[@darrenholder8653]

They already showcase something like this as a concept years ago

[@aliettienne2907]

5:42 I can now see why Samsung is trying to release their version of the Trifold. This concept is demonstrating some unrealistic thinnest that is transcending all know technological barriers. The Trifold will ultimately compete with the book style foldable, because if the Trifold overall design is flawlessly good the book style foldable will be an after-thought. Everybody is trying to test the waters with the Trifold concept. This Tecno render of the Trifold is truly aesthetically appealing and I certainly know that the customers will love this model if everything is manufactured perfectly. I love innovative concepts like those rendered in this illustration. 😎💯💪🏾👍🏾

[@halomoon8408]

Sure there trying but they will still mess it up by making the phone extra narrow than it already is now

[@Speedinginprogress]

I'd buy it.

[@farishanafiah8461]

It took me a while to understand this concept, but I noticed it doesn't first unfold into a foldable-like squarish screen before transitioning to the tablet screen. Instead, it goes straight to the tablet screen. If that is what Tecno has in mind, I'm looking forward to this tech, and I'm saying that as someone who isn't a fan of foldable phones in the first place. Think about it - you have a pocketable 10" tablet with a normal tablet screen aspect ratio. I still maintain that a rollable screen is the better idea, but this is a good start.

[@jebaker2]

I'd love a multifold phone if durability was somehow be addressed. If it's full-sized tablet size, it could be your everything device.

[@ricky5289]

Mmm, I don't know. The outside part where it flex's is kind of concerning. You'd have to keep it in some kind of box designed as a case if you want to take it everywhere you go.

[@farishanafiah8461]

It's still too early to tell about the whole feasibility of tri-fold solution, especially when Huawei and Xiaomi are also working on it.

[@zengarden8492]

Huawei has realized the concept

[@bamhit]

I love the concept! I think the 10 inch screen will be better for watching content... less huge black bars and much better multitasking. I would never say no to more screen real estate. I just hope the prices aren't too crazy

[@nitholx917]

A concept that is real made by Huawei this September 10 😍😍

[@ThePatriot-i2t]

With them making the end of the phone thicker where the camera bump is, they could easily extend the slope a little farther to make room for a pen.

[@buenokitty3497]

Techno Phantom Ultimate 2... ALPHA! The Tournament of the Future! The ORIGINS of the real 'Z-shaped' Fold! Ready? FIGHT!! Bruh love the enthusiam for folding tech! Maybe start a kickstarter now to get it, ship it and review it live! Lol

[@thelionprince4530]

The Chinese seem to be the ones pushing the envelope when it comes to innovation in the mobile phone industry.

[@En4cer2K9]

Idk... If a dual fold phone is already nearly $2000, how much MORE are they gonna try to justify pricing a trifold phone?

[@aliasgharkhoyee9501]

That's just a ridiculous gimmick some manufacturers use to make their sale prices & vouchers/coupons look better. You've been able to buy the Honor V2 for less than 1200 euro for months now (directly from Honor), even though the retail price is far higher. Don't trust retail prices.

[@nacho3570]

To be fair, at least a part of the extra cost of adding a hinge and making the foldable display bigger is gonna be compensated by not needing an external screen. Same thing with thickness: the reason a trifold is not *that* much thicker than a normal foldable is that those ones already have the thickness for three OLED panels (one external + one internal folded over itself)

[@Goonsquad2012]

My fold 6 just got the August software update

[@shaunpaulkeaney4862]

I would say it's a bi folding device as there's only 2 folds

[@DanielBonaker]

You know what I like the most about the concert? You don't need a secondary display, which my OP Open does..!! And with a good case it could be safe to drop even! Intrigued by the design! Hope the screens get wider and less tall.

[@whatsupbudbud]

Just got a flip foldable from Motorola and I love it. Considered all foldables and chose the portable version because of one huge downside to these phones - the battery is smaller as the hinge takes up space which for candybar phones is battery real estate. With the proposed concept phone this same problem would still be in effect which is that the battery capacity would be smaller than on a candybar phone as three smaller batteries would need to drive three ordinary screens. Future will definitely have these dual folding phones but for now the current single fold phones need to be perfected. Would be cool to see a something like my current phone - Motorola Razr 50 +, but with e-ink display on the outside screen. That way a lot of stuff could be done by using tiny amounts of power and phone could be opened for serious computing/animation needs.

[@thairice2]

Find photo of xiaomi ceo have this phone already trifold

[@frankr111th]

Very cool concept. The design actually reminds me of a Galaxy z fold device, especially with the camera setup.

[@exturkconner]

I'd be more excited for a duo type multi screen fold with hinges in each direction. It won't happen but having the ability to still have glass screens with the large potential display. Having the natural center point not be a hinge because it's between three screens. It seems like a pretty neat potential concept.

[@aliasgharkhoyee9501]

This is seriously innovative and exciting, thanks for covering it. The legacy manufacturers better wake up soon, or they'll be the next Nokia.

[@sparky6757]

1:42 I could see that design being used to also fit a full-sized S Pen on the back of a Galaxy tri-fold without sticking out too far, and a kickstand too. Accessories on this type of phone could easily make it actually fit the role of a tablet rather than a bigger phone that *kinda* does tablet things. Regardless, I absolutely would not be an early adopter for this kind of product, I'm scared enough of my phone's durability with a single bend and the fragile screen being covered when not in use.

[@jeffwoodard]

Really like the slope into the cameras. Would like to just like have a dual screen foldable made like that. I have a kindle oasis with a slope on it where the battery sits and it makes for a perfect handle to hold the device.

[@unonice]

Looks Nice .. Wow .. but then there's this 💸💸💰💰💰💰 ..

[@milodemoray]

I have to say, if they did make this device, and put it on the market, I would buy it. This is what a foldable device should be like.

[@DaRazorback]

You could partner with the Average Dad channel, out of Scotland, and I am sure that you might be able to do a collab with Mike on the Huawei device as he will probably carry it in his tech store.

[@iZacq]

Amazing love it ❤ 👍🏻 Needs 8000mAh 🔋 or 12hrs of SoT 4yrs Android Updates atleast

[@elina9526]

I still want just a foldable tablet, like surface neo was promised. But they keep making everything else besides that 😂

[@geoffreycoar2762]

Can't imagine the battery size to make this work and last for the day.

[@davidm4773]

I think it is ridiculously cool.

[@AceOfHearts001]

We keep saying folding phones are like tablets in your pocket... it wasnt actually true until now. The typical fold out phone is not like the majority of the tablets out there, they are too small. Really hope we see this... with a stylus!!!! And IR blaster....

[@DwightBoyd-u6j]

Like it it's a smartphone that opens up into a full-size tablet❤

[@kennethlee1977]

I kinda use my folds for business and media consumption. So just a good front facing cam is good for me for zoom meetings and video calls. While my candy bar fon could have all the cam tech. Kinda like a tablet why they keep trying to improve the back cameras but we generally consume it for media

[@InvidiousIgnoramus]

Interesting that Tecno has shown off a rolling screen and a tri-fold display, both of which ZTE showed off in concept devices about a year ago. I can't really see these devices going anywhere, especially if the tri fold really is that thing. It's going to be COMICALLY fragile.

[@IEmilyI]

That screen is going to break so quickly at that outside folding edge.

[@ShawnNicholson-cr4lr]

Pls make this affordable and shippable to the U.S... 🙏🏾 it would make my Netflix watching LEGENDARY!!! 🤓

[@Printedperformance]

They should slope the other side and put a stylus into it, then itll sit flat when its not open.

[@NoBodyO2TheG]

Samsung been shown these months ago at expos etc lol. Their's are called "s fold" and "g fold". And these rollable ones too.

[@JGcd001]

I don't want a trifold, i want a bifold that stretches out with a motor to reach the 16:9 ratio. Samsung had a prototype of the stretch part by itself, but imagine it in combination with the bifold

[@benjiize]

That looks like a recipe for disaster lol 😂

[@shadowfallenable]

They cant barely make the Folds tech keep up with normal phones... and they are already trying to go Tri-fold!? This gonna have a 10MP back camera and a 1MP front camera. 🤣🤣

[@scaryifliteral]

You might not be aware of what Chinese manufacturers are doing if you think this lol

[@Danominator]

Okay so like, obviously there's a bit of investor bait going on here. But c'mon, it's a cool concept right? We're definitely not at the point where this could be a mainstream device yet, but in like 10 years I bet this could be a genuinely useful device. I REALLY like that self-supporting laptop mode idea especially.

[@Sk_Senen]

This is very stupid.. they haven't refined the current foldables but they're already going for tri foldables btw the aim of a foldable is to give you a larger screen and i think the current ones do the job well.. they just need to be refined

[@666FCUK]

IDEAL FOR WATCHING POPEYE

[@xenos3604]

I really can't see this getting out of the concept phase. I love my foldable but I have no desire for this. I also really dont like the idea of the flexible screen anywhere on the outside. Asking for a lot of trouble. Dont get me wrong, its cool tech, but I don't see it catching on.

[@ctrl4969]

i understand its a concept but this would be so cool too have imagine watching videos on the 10in screen or using 3 apps at once now if it has good software and some good durability and battery it would be perfect

[@crimestoriesinnepali8997]

i had techno phantom v fold very good price and was great for multi tasking, but the front screen went blank all of a sudden after about 6 months of use, very disappointing beacuse here nobody in the UK could fix it and there was no support or warranty. Until they become reliable not so good idea to get one. Plus the device didnt support any stylus pen at all

[@dillonbanks609]

I honestly don’t see this being a thing. People haven’t f adopted the regular folds yet. The price and reliability would be a issue

[@alphaspartan]

People haven't adopted it yet because it's not really that much bigger than a regular phone. However if they made a true pocket tablet (tablets these days are 10+ inches) then people might be more interested. I think this is why companies are hated so much right now. Everyone wants Samsung to make the battery bigger, to charge faster and they just keep making the phone thinner and people don't understand why they aren't listening to consumers. It might be because everyone is racing to make a trifold which requires a super thin device overall. Also these phones are ridiculously expensive for how less durable they are. People shouldn't have to buy insurance on a phone.

[@donniethesportsguy893]

Techno here is my wallet… gimme 😂

You are aware that there won't be any tri-fold devices,probably ever,maybe only as concept phone,but such a devide will never exist. Why,because it is completely pointless,cuz since even fold devices with 2 layers are thick enough,think of this one. Plus,we just and not even settled into normal foldables. If this thing is going to exist,first of all,certainly it won't be anything more than a concept device,and if by somehow it gets release,literally nobody will buy it,because it is just a pointless device,a pointless concept that nobody needs

[@AwwsmGaurav]

First of all its your opinion, and if these are released people will buy it, maybe very few but people will. Secondly the price is the biggest problem for these, even the normal foldables aren't selling as much because they're very expensive, and because these are three panels that fold and engineering this is gonna be very hard and expensive... So the price will be High

[@sandrahiltz]

They will exist and people will buy them, being able to fold a 10-11" tablet into a phone is amazing, and clearly thickness is not an issue since this is thinner than the Z fold 6. Personally I'd welcome a thicker phone anyways, way more comfortable to hold and use than an ultra thin phone. Really the only issue with this design is it puts part of the fragile foldable screen on the outside of the phone when folded which is not good.

[@dandesjardins2552]

I will definitely jump to trifold as soon as i can for sure
