TECNO AI is a new suite of AI functions that promotes creativity, convenience, and fun, helping every user stand out on social media with their creativity unlocked.

At the same time, Magic AI Eraser allows users to rescue their photos by removing clutter or passersby. One Click Cutout lets users automatically recognize and extract subjects with a long press, enabling quick and effortless image sharing. 

Picture-perfect ThruPool Cover Screen



An icon of sleek, flowing design, the PHANTOM V Flip2 5G’s ThruPool Cover Screen is a stylish creation inspired by infinity pools. The cover features a 3.64” screen perfectly integrated with the slightly curved main body. The suspended camera lens is immersed in the pixels that beautifully flow across the display. 

The PHANTOM V Flip2 5G redefines how users interact with the cover screen by supporting over 2,000 apps, allowing many to operate without opening the main screen. Its larger, more conventional shape enhances usability, and the 413PPI display is delicate and dynamic. Users can create shortcut icons to quickly access essential features like step counting and weather updates. Additionally, the screen enables a full keyboard display for convenient dialing and typing, including quick reply options.

Users can add character to their smartphone interactions with customizable displays and adorable interactive pets. The cover screen can be personalized with various styles, from magazine to graffiti or contrast. There are also five new animal additions to Outer Screen Cute Pet 2.0, bringing even more cuteness to the display. Users can stroke their pet to engage in cute interactions. For game lovers, the screen offers a host of mini-games such as Cute Pet Jump, 2048 Landmark Edition, Cute Pet Elimination Music, Sudoku, and more, so users can have fun without even opening the main screen. 

Flagship Imaging Elevated by FreeCam



Despite being perfectly pocket-sized, the PHANTOM V Flip2 5G delivers a flagship candy bar smartphone-level camera system with a 50MP primary camera, 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and 32MP front camera. Its flip-form design opens up new shooting perspectives.


The powerful rear cameras offer excellent optical grade lossless zoom results, with 2x extended focal length and 2x-10x zoom. Image quality is maintained even when zoomed in. For photos of friends or unforgettable party moments in low light, a 1/1.57” large main camera sensor and 1µm pixels produce clear, detailed photos with improved clarity, brightness, and tone. The main camera also supports 4K@30fps Ultra Steady video stabilizer for clear, stable videos, even on the move. 


The 32MP shining selfie front camera is ideal for capturing super selfies or shooting exciting vlogs, with advanced phase detection autofocus (PDAF) with more accurate human eye autofocus that achieves finer feature recognition. Equipped with a front flash and physical-level fill light, it also solves the problem of no light source for selfies in low-light environments, making selfies more straightforward, brighter and more realistic. 


With its foldable design, PHANTOM V Flip2 5G flips standard shooting on its head for a more creative imaging experience. With the ability to hover at any angle from 30-150°, users can explore new perspectives with FreeCam shooting. FreeCam Selfie, FreeCam Group Selfie, and FreeCam Video let users make the most of the folding design to capture exciting hands-free shots. Hovering the phone lets users shoot incredible FreeCam Timelapse and FreeCam Long Exposure shots without needing a tripod. 


Besides FreeCam, the foldable dual-screen design allows even more unexpected shooting methods. With Ultra Selfie, users can shoot highly detailed, ultra wide-angle selfies without unfolding the device, using the device’s flagship-level rear cameras. With Cover Screen Preview, the shooting screen is displayed on both the main and cover screens, so the subject of the shot knows exactly how the shot will look in real-time. With Retro DV Mode, users can feel the classic video camera vibes with the device hovered, creating atmospheric shots with built-in templates and filters. 

Ultra-flat Flagship 120Hz Main Screen

In addition to its iconic ThruPool cover screen, the PHANTOM V Flip2 5G boasts a pristine ultra-flat 6.9” flagship main screen that provides users with an immersive viewing experience. It features a 120Hz LTPO self-adaptive refresh rate display for smooth and dynamic interactions. The AMOLED FHD+ display with 100% P3 color gamut ensures a vibrant viewing experience, while the 2160Hz high-level PWM dimming adjusts brightness to minimize eye strain during use. 

The main screen’s crease line remains minimal even after frequent folding and unfolding, aided by the double helix star track water drop hinge. Made from aerospace-grade superstrength steel, this hinge guarantees a snug closure while offering up to 400,000 folds at normal temperatures, 150,000 folds at high temperatures, and 100,000 folds at low temperatures. 

The primary display and robust hinge facilitate FreeForm hovering. Users can position the cellphone at angles between 30° and 150°, allowing for innovative device usage. FreeForm is compatible with numerous applications, including system apps like Camera and Visha Player and popular third-party options such as YouTube, WhatsApp, Netflix, Disney+, Zoom, Google Meet, and Messenger.
