Tecno Showcases Phantom Ultimate Rollable Smartphone at MWC 2024
Tecno showcased prototypes of its rollable phone named the Phantom Ultimate at MWC 2024. The brand unveiled its concept in a demo video last year.
Now, the company has brought the real prototypes, showing the phone in its full glory. It is just a concept device and is still under process. So, it may take some time to go official.
The phone has a 6.55″ display; however, with a simple button press, the display expands to a larger 7.11-inch within 1.3 seconds. There is a “second display” on the back, a main screen wrapped around the back. At MWC 2023, Tecno also revealed the Chameleon Color Technology, which is integrated into a foldable phone.
The Phantom Ultimate boasts an ultra-slim design, measuring just 9.93mm in thickness excluding edge trim. It also includes advanced software enhancements, supporting customizable dynamic wallpapers, desktop effects, and an always-on display (AOD).
As of now, Tecno has two foldables on the market – the Phantom V Fold and the V Flip. The next-gen Phantom Ultimate is rumoured to come in Q3, 2024. However, it is better to take the launch timeline as a hint, until any official information confirms the same.
Alongside, Tecno also announced the Camon 30 series at MWC 2024. The Camon 30 Premier is a high-end model of the series, featuring a dedicated Sony ISP and PolarAce Imaging System. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8200-Ultra SoC, the smartphone supports 70W wired fast charging.
The Camon 30 series also includes the Camon 30, Camon 30 5G, and the Camon 30 Pro 5G smartphones. There is no info regarding the availability of these devices.
MWC 2024 also saw the Tecno Megabook T16 Pro 2024 Ultra laptop make its official debut. Featuring a sleek design, the laptop sports a 16-inch screen with 2.5k resolution, and 400 nits of brightness.
It is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 7 processor paired with an Arc mobile GPU for graphics. It supports up to 32GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 1TB of PCIE 4.0 SSD storage. Other features of the Tecno Megabook T16 Pro 2024 Ultra include a 99.99Wh battery with 100W fast charging, a 2MP 1080p camera and an Ice Storm Cooling system.
