Tecno has once again stolen the spotlight with their latest concept device Phantom Ultimate G Fold which is expected to be officially launched in mid-July. The device features a G-shaped hinge design that folds inward to allow the main display to be fully protected when closed.
This design is intended to help protect the main display from scratches and damage when the device is fully folded. It is also equipped with a covered display on the left side that allows users to access basic functions without having to open the entire device. On the back, there are three cameras arranged horizontally along with a matte silver frame that features a simple and modern design.
Each component of the device is designed with a slim shape, but when folded, its thickness is estimated to be around 13mm. Tecno states that this device is designed to be among the thinnest tri-fold phones ever introduced. This feature is achieved through the use of a mini hinge and a special screen layer that allows the main display to be fully opened without any noticeable folding issues.
So far, Huawei is the only brand that has commercially launched a tri-folding phone to consumers. Tecno and Samsung are expected to introduce their tri-folding devices in the near future, but the Phantom Ultimate G Fold still remains a concept device and has not yet entered the mass production phase.
