Beat You: This Brand Has Unveiled Its First Tri-Foldable Concept Device Before Samsung
Last Updated: Tecno has unveiled its concept tri-foldable device and did that before Samsung showcases its own product Tecno is the new name entering the tri-foldable segment and it has beaten Samsung by unveiling its Fold concept earlier this week. We're finally seeing foldable phones become more pocketable, at least in their dimensions, and brands are already moving to other form factors with tri-foldable becoming the latest pick of the bunch. The new device is part of Tecno's Phantom Fold series and it will be showcased at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next year. Tecno says its tri-foldable device has been divided into three sections like the other brands and has a folding design in G-shape. The company has made the inner screen foldable inwards in two phases, which is claimed to protect the panel from scratches. The secondary cover screen is the default size for a regular smartphone. It has adopted a dual-hinge mechanism so that the tri-folding process does not take a hit in a few years. The company has also gone with a self-locking system which ensures there are no gaps when you fold the tri-foldable device. Talking about the screens, the Phantom Ultimate G Fold carries a 9.4-inch display when all the layers are open. It has a dual camera system on the hinge which brings a unique way to click photos. The company says it has a thickness of 11.49mm when folded and 3.49mm when unfolded, which makes it the thinnest tri-foldable device to be publicly showcased. We expect the Phantom Ultimate G Fold to be powered by a high-end chipset but intrigued to see how it fits a battery unit, and how big it might be. Tecno has made a habit of launching some unique products. It had recently unveiled a sleek phone mirroring the Galaxy S25 Edge and the rumored iPhone 17 Air model. The Tecno device manages to pack a 5,000mAh battery which is a lot bigger than what Samsung has managed and Apple could bring later this year. And we also hope to see Samsung's own tri-fold device launch before the end of 2025, as reports have suggested. view comments First Published: July 18, 2025, 16:06 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Tecno unveils its tri-fold smartphone Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept
After Huawei, Tecno on Thursday (July 17, 2025) unveiled its tri-fold smartphone Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept for multitasking. The Chinese smartphone maker said to showcase the Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2026. The Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept tri-fold design goes up to become a 9.94 inch display phone. The company claims it to be 11.49mm when folded and starting from 3.49mm when unfolded. 'Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept showcases an innovative G-Style design. Its expansive inner display folds inward twice, completely shielding the main screen from scratches and impacts when not in use,' said Tecno. Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept uses a custom-engineered dual-hinge system, comprising a small waterdrop hinge and a larger primary hinge. When folded, the small hinge allows the right portion of the display to fold inward, mimicking a traditional book-style foldable. The larger hinge then folds the remaining section over the top. (For top technology news of the day, subscribe to our tech newsletter Today's Cache) Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept offers a customised dual-cam design in the large hinge supports multi-angle hovering, allowing the device to be operated in a partially folded state. The Tecno Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept is going to have a triple-camera system and an over 5,000 mAh battery. In 2024, Tecno unveiled triple-fold concept phone, the Phantom Ultimate 2, which was also showcased at MWC 2025.

Tecno reveals Phantom Ultimate Fold G — a bold challenger to Samsung's foldables
With Samsung's rumored tri-folding Galaxy G Fold missing in action, a new company is throwing its hat into the triple-ring. Tecno just teased its Phantom Ultimate G Fold, which the company claims is the world's thinnest tri-folding phone, measuring 11.49mm folded and 3.49mm opened, less than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Of course, the Z Fold 7 is a real phone, while this is a concept. According to Android Central, the hinges on the Phantom Ultimate G Fold are different, with a larger main hinge and a smaller "waterdrop hinge" on the right side. Similar to Samsung's rumored tri-fold, the Phantom concept features a "G-style" inward-folding design with two hinges. This style of fold is designed to protect the interior displays. The conceptual phone is reportedly going to debut at MWC 2026, which typically takes place in February. It is reportedly equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery that powers a 9.94-inch interior display. When it comes to Tecno, its Phantom phones tend to be conceptual and don't actually become reality. Last summer, Tecno teased the Phantom Ultimate 2, another tri-folding device that also featured a "G-style" hinge system. Even if it were to release, neither the G Fold nor the Ultimate 2 are likely to come to the United States, as the phone maker largely sells in China and India. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Meanwhile, Samsung's much-rumored tri-fold is expected to launch in October. That's after the release of a second-generation Huawei Mate XT tri-fold in September. Huawei released the first tri-folding phone in the Mate XT last fall. We found it amazing, and we're looking forward to the next generation of foldable evolution.

Bring on the trifolds
I've been using the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 for the past week, and I think I can finally say it: I get folding phones. The Z Fold 7 so slim and so nice to use, that I'm looking at the whole category in a whole new light. It's great timing, because it looks like phones with two sets of hinges might be on the way. Huawei did it first, of course, but Samsung seems serious about launching its trifold in the near future, and Chinese brand Tecno just teased an enticing-looking concept. And you know what? Bring them on. Don't get me wrong, I love a small phone. I plan to keep my iPhone 13 Mini until it becomes a security hazard. But big phones have clearly won the battle, and if I have to carry a giant phone around then I think it should do more for me. It should have more screens, more ways to prop itself up. I should be able to run two apps at once. Maybe three! My phone should literally bend to my will. But I also don't want it to be bigger than a regular big phone. A tall order, I know, but then I tried the Z Fold 7. Finally, a foldable that feels so much like using a regular phone that it makes the inner screen feels like it's all upside. If you asked me a few weeks ago what I thought about trifold phones I might have told you that it seems like a gimmick. Who needs all that inner screen? What do you even do with it? I get those questions about the single-hinge Z Fold 7. But here's the thing: you figure it out. We're so used to doing things on small screens that I think it's hard to imagine what to do with a bigger screen until it's in your hands. Here's an incomplete list of things that I've used a folding phone's inner screen for in the past week: Some of these things are basically impossible on a regular slab-style phone. I watched my colleague Victoria Song try to use Wordpress on an iPhone and it did not go well. But some things are just nicer on a big screen, and when something is nicer you might actually do that thing more. I've seen more than one Uber driver with a folding phone mounted as a kind of second display on their dashboard. You can do that with a regular phone, but the extra real estate on the inner screen makes a real difference. You've been able to do all of this with a folding phone for years now, but I can't emphasize this enough: doing these things on a phone that feels about the same size as a regular phone when it's folded is a huge deal. I could carry my laptop around all day if I wanted constant access to a bigger screen, but for obvious reasons I don't do that. This is what has converted me to a folding phone believer. So bring on more hinges, more screen, more reasons to not get up and find my laptop when I need to do a 'big screen' activity. The trifolds are coming. I'm ready to embrace them.
