Techno Phantom V Fold Design
Engineers have tried really hard to ensure that the phone looks and feels premium the smart move is that they've actually used recycled plastic for the backing material of the phone the texture is nice and it feels better solid too now why do I call this smart because they can actually use the sustainability angle forwhen they're marketing the phone and I do like the design of the circular camera module as well which has got a ring inside to it's kind of unique the hinged techno claims is made of aircraft grade aluminum and that makes it structurally rigid and this hinge is also their own proprietary design as well now I'm not going into the depth of the hinge design but what they've managed to do for the end consumer that is you and me is that reduce the size of the crease right next to a Galaxy Z fold 4 the crease on the Techno is actually far less visible talking about the galaxy C fold 4 it's a great foldable phone and if you're considering buying one why don't you do that from the product buying Link in the you know the description below you can probably check out YouTube's whole shopping mechanism as well and let us know what you guys think and there is one problem with the hinge and is you get only two states of operation which is the close date and of course the open State unlike Samsung where you have a flex mode where it stands a Angles this one doesn't it sort of topples that's it I do like the fact that techno acknowledges this problem and bundles a kickstand case in the box which makes it stand vertically and horizontally as well if you've come this far and if you're liking what you see it'd be great if you could give us you support and hit the Subscribe button maybe when you talk about the hinge opening and closing mechanism we have had it for about a week and it feels fairly sturdy and techno also claims that it will last 2 lakh folds which means about four to five years of regular usage and opening and closing the phone like this we'll only have to wait and watch to see if that actually holds up by the way the phone doesn't have any sort of Ip rating which is something that you have to keep in mind so you will have to use this carefull and not around any water body but one.
Techno Phantom V Fold Display
thing that techno gets right are the displays on the phone the outer displays a properly7.85-inch usable 21 is to 9 aspect ratio 6.42 inch full HD Plus AMOLED panel with 120 hertz of refresh rate and the inner tablet display is also very similar in specs It's a larger 7.85 inch display but with higher 2K resolution but yo also get the same 120hz refresh trade and AMOLED you know technology as well and the best part is their ltpo panels which means that you know they can refresh from anywhere between 10 Hertz to 120 hertz is what we noticed in our testing and you get HDR 10 plus support as well we notice that HDR 10 plus is available on YouTube but not on Netflix maybe the support will come later you know with an update honestly the display experience is very good on the Techno Phantom default because that is the most important thing for a foldable phone if you ask me and techno gets that absolutely right now while the display experience is great to make the multimedia experience even better techno offers proper dual stereo speakers you can see them over here and over here and when you open them up in this landscape orientation they look like this and the the best part is these stereo speakers are tuned well they're pretty loud why don't you take a listen for yourself and let me know what you guys think.
Techno Phantom V Fold Performance
chip it's a very powerful chip it's not exactly top of the light but fairly powerful nonetheless it is so powerful that you can actually run pubg new state at 90 FPS and Call of Duty mobile at 120 FPS of course in performance mode and there's a lot of Grunt in it to push beyond the 1 million Mark in add to 2 as well but what's more important is that in daily usage where you're using the phone's outer display for you know scrolling through your Twitter feed or when you open up the inner display to actually read a book or send out an email it all functions very smoothly it's a slick and fast experience something that I generally didn't expect from techno because my expectations were low this is good performance techn
Techno Phantom V Fold Software
Which then brings me to the software experience on the phone you get a version of iOS 13 fourfold based on Android 13. the kind of wallpapers that you get with the phone it does make the phone look very good when it seamlessly transitions from the auto display to the inner display and apart from that the app layout the software layout all of that changes according to the orientation of the phone and how you're using it all all of that happens seamlessly no problem and I can enlarge the folder size you've got a dock which has recent open apps as well it's all very well done you can put apps in split screen and regular ads also run in parallel mode where you can open up the emails on one side and read them on the other side so features wise I would say that techno has done a fairly good job with the software but what's not good is the fact that it bundles a lot of first-party apps and these are apps that you generally might not have a need for and it sort of breaks away from that premium experience that you expect from a foldable phone but still with respect to the features available I'm happy also I really don't know how long techno will support the phone considering it's a flagship it should support it with OS updates for at least two to three years three years minimum but we'll have to
Techno Phantom V Fold Battery
wait and watch now to run all of this you get a large 5000 mAh battery inside so the battery life has been very good, 45-watt, especially with the tuning of the 9000 plus chip, it's done very well, there's a balanced mode, which is on by default you can easily expect over a day's worth of usage when it about you know 18 left at the end of the day also you get a 45-watt charger which you get within the box and it can charge fairly okay charging this is good enough and techno makes no compromise on 5G support you well on Airtel and Jio no worries there
Techno Phantom V Fold Camer
all right let's talk about the cameras on the phone there are three cameras on the rear one on the outer display one on the inner display Man I just felt like a flight attendant talking about emergency exits right now but after using these cameras with good specs no doubt at least on paper it's very good I still feel that this is where you have to make the compromise if you want to pay less for a full debate the cameras are of course not the best in the market they're serviceable and sometimes you can get really good pictures out of it too of course you can get better camera phones at this price compared to a techno Phantom v-fold but can your camera phone fold no it can't I do like
Conclusion
what the Techno Phantom v-fold is in essence and I like the direction that the brand has taken with it like I mentioned it's a brave and smart move one that generally might work in India because it does get people curious but the question remains would you buy a techno foldable phone over an apple candy bar or a Samsung candy bar or a OnePlus candy bar phone and how much do you really care about a foldable form factor to want it really badly over an entrenched big player this I'm really curious about because I can't make assumptions and I really want the audience or the end-user or the buyer to tell me but as a product, my evaluation is this is a good attempt all right that's it from me I hope you guys liked this c I'll see you guys in the next one and let's keep talking until then keep tracking and stay safe.
