The foldable smartphone market is expanding. Foldable phone fans have already seen a couple of premium smartphones, from Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 to Xiaomi Mix Fold 2, Honor's Magic Vs, and Vivo X Fold+. Now, Tecno's first foldable - the Phantom V Fold - has been unveiled at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2023 in Barcelona. It is said to be the world's first left-right foldable smartphone. Not just that, it offers a much bigger display than the Galaxy Z Fold 4. Wondering what else this new foldable has to offer? Read on to know all about it here.

The Tecno Phantom V Fold boasts a 6.42-inch AMOLED cover display when it is closed with a resolution of 1080x2550 and a refresh rate of 120Hz.
