The thinnest Tri-fold up to date

The TECNO Phantom Ultimate G Fold has been unveiled as the successor to the Phantom Ultimate 2, a concept phone first introduced at IFA 2024. The new device features an innovative tri-fold design aimed at enhancing durability and usability.

Unlike traditional outward-folding models, the Phantom Ultimate G Fold employs an inward-folding mechanism, which helps protect its large display from scratches and impact. 

The 9.94-inch display

The device includes a 9.94-inch screen that folds inward in two sections, supported by a dual-hinge system. This setup consists of a waterdrop hinge on the right side and a larger hinge that folds over the top, enabling a gapless closure.

When folded, the phone offers a cover display for everyday smartphone use without needing to open the main screen. The hinge mechanism also allows for multi-angle hovering, providing flexibility for different usage scenarios, such as a compact workstation.

The folded state

TECNO states that the Phantom Ultimate G Fold is the thinnest tri-fold smartphone currently in development, measuring 11.49mm when folded and 3.49mm when unfolded. 

The design also incorporates 2000MPa ultra-high-strength steel for the hinge and a 0.3mm titan fiber back panel. 

Despite its slim profile, the concept phone is said to include a high-performance chipset, a triple-camera system, and a battery capacity exceeding 5,000mAh.

Currently, those are the only available details shared by the brand. As of now, the Phantom Ultimate G Fold remains a concept device and is not yet available for consumer purchase. 

Finally, TECNO has confirmed that it will be showcased again at MWC 2026.
