Final Thoughts
This affordable foldable phone seems to have moved forward in the right direction, I will say the upgrades are commendable especially when compared the first foldable phone of last year from Tecno Mobile. When you buy the Tecno Phantom V Fold 2, you will notice the slim and light design, camera upgrade, better multi-tasking, a brand new v pen, 70W ultra-fast charging, 15W wireless charging and more AI features.
Yeah! That’s it for the most part. So if you have the old one and are considering upgrading, I think it’s worth it but that is only if you care so much about all these new upgrades and got some extra cash to spare. And one more thing, the quality is awesome.
