The Tecno Phantom V Flip launched in India in September 2023 at Rs 49,999 for 8 GB plus 256 GB, making it one of the cheapest flip foldables in the country. It competed with the Motorola Razr 40 and gave buyers a way into the clamshell form factor without approaching the price of the Galaxy Z Flip 5.

The 6.9-inch foldable AMOLED runs at 120Hz, while the outer display is a small 1.32-inch circular AMOLED inside the camera ring, useful for notifications, time and a selfie viewfinder but not for apps. The MediaTek Dimensity 8050 offers strong performance for the price, ahead of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1 in the Razr 40. The hinge supports free-stop angles for hands-free use.

A 64 MP main camera and 13 MP ultrawide sit on the back, with a 32 MP autofocus selfie camera inside. Results are decent in good light. The 4000 mAh battery lasts a day for moderate users, with 45W charging. Its cover screen is more limited than the Razr 40's, but it undercuts that phone on price while offering a faster chip.
