Tecno Phantom V Flip 5G leaked specifications

On X (formerly Twitter), tipster Paras Guglani shared a detailed specifications sheet of the Tecno Phantom V Flip 5G, which has the model number AD11. 

One reader commented, “I think in this price, this is THE best foldable out there. Me and my dad are using TECNO phones, and they are really good, especially the cameras. The software of this phone (HiOS) is also really functional and good software. And also, they do get 2 software updates FOR SURE. Even when compared to last year’s Samsung Galaxy ZFlip 4, this phone still provides a lot of value for the money.”

Another reader questioned the comparison, saying, “I don’t understand these articles sometimes. Are they pretending that 1-year-old models do not exist? Flip4 can be had for 500€ in the EU right now.”

While many appreciate the affordability of the Phantom V Flip, some emphasized the importance of software support. “They can soup up the hardware, cram all the features, and lower the prices all they want, but in the end, software support is king. Sorry, I’m not buying an EOL device in 6 months, even with the affordable price tag,” noted a reader.

Another reader highlighted the software support advantage of Samsung, saying, “Good luck with terrible software support vs Samsung (who gives 4 years of Android updates and 5 years of security updates). Just buy last year’s Samsung Galaxy Flip, which is even cheaper and more powerful and even gets better software support, even though it is a year old.”

While some see value in the Phantom V Flip, others are cautious about Chinese brands flooding the market. One reader stated, “I’m not interested in more Chinese stuff flooding the market with low prices because they’re propped up by the state to be loss leaders.”

In summary, the Phantom V Flip offers great value for money in the foldable category, but readers have raised valid concerns about software support and the competitive landscape.
