Tecno’s latest Phantom V Flip 2 5G enters the global market as a more budget-friendly alternative to premium flip phones like Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 6. Here’s how the two foldable devices stack up:
Cameras:
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 offers stellar low-light photography with its 50MP primary sensor and 12MP ultrawide lens, plus 4K@60fps video with HDR10+ and 960fps slow-motion capabilities. Tecno’s Phantom V Flip 2, with its 50MP dual-camera setup, lacks HDR10+ but delivers solid video quality at 4K@30fps. The Tecno also shines in selfies, boasting a 32MP front camera, outperforming Samsung’s 10MP offering in detail and low-light conditions.
Performance:
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 6 leads with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset and up to 12GB of RAM, making it ideal for multitasking and high-performance tasks. Tecno’s Phantom V Flip 2 runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 8020 with 8GB RAM, offering decent performance but falling slightly short compared to Samsung. Storage-wise, Samsung offers up to 512GB, while Tecno sticks to 256GB.
Design & Display:
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 is more compact and lightweight, featuring Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and an aluminum frame. Tecno’s Phantom V Flip 2 opts for an eco-leather back with a steel hinge. Both phones feature foldable AMOLED screens with 120Hz refresh rates, though Tecno offers a larger 6.9-inch main display and a bigger cover screen (3.64 inches vs. Samsung’s 3.4 inches). Samsung’s display, however, is brighter, with a peak brightness of 2600 nits and HDR10+ support.
Battery:
Tecno wins in the battery department with a larger 4720mAh capacity and 70W fast charging, reaching 50% in just 15 minutes. Samsung, with its 4000mAh battery, offers slower 25W wired charging but adds wireless and reverse wireless charging options, which Tecno lacks.
Price:
The biggest difference? Price. Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 6 starts at $1,100, while Tecno’s Phantom V Flip 2 offers competitive features at just $700.
Conclusion:
The Galaxy Z Flip 6 excels in performance, premium features, and video capabilities, while the Phantom V Flip 2 provides solid value with a larger battery, faster charging, and excellent cameras—all for $400 less. Both phones cater to different needs and budgets, making Tecno’s offering an appealing option for those seeking a feature-packed foldable without the premium price tag.
