On April 12, Tecno released its first horizontal foldable smartphone—Phantom V Fold—and now it is about to follow it up with the Phantom V Flip clamshell.
Some hours ago today, we received an anonymous tip that a case maker is already selling accessories for the phone, which in turn reveals its design.
The Phantom V Flip will have a circular cover display, around which we should see two cameras and an LED flash.
The unusual camera positioning makes us wonder what’s on the side of the O-shaped island. So far, the design looks unusual, but we always appreciate companies trying to make their devices stand out in a crowd…who doesn’t love creativity?
The images leaked also reveal a flat power button that will double as a fingerprint scanner instead of the sensor being underneath the foldable panel. There is one selfie camera behind a punch hole, and the bottom will have the USB-C port.
It is worth mentioning that all these images are renders based on schematics. This means that while the dimensions and the locations of the functional elements are spot on, the finish might be far from reality.
We’ll get a better idea once Tecno decides to say more about the Phantom V Flip, which should be soon.
In the meantime, thanks for the anonymous tips!
