what's happening everyone my name is Alex and welcome back so it seems that every single
company is racing to bring their own foldable device to the market the one that got released
today is the Techno Phantom v-fold and just like the name suggests this is a foldable device so
you can use it like this or you can use it like a regular phone button you need a bit more space
you just open it up and then you have um kind of like a tablet in your pocket basically so when
opened this is a 7.85 inches on screen this is also an AMOLED screen that has a 2K resolution
and a refresh rate of 120 hertz and this screen is slightly larger than the screen that you would
find on Samsung's foldable device interesting when you close this you do have another screen
on this side so this is a 6.42 inch screen and I find that this screen is big enough so you can
actually use the phone on this screen only so if you don't want to open the phone and if you want
to write a message if you want to watch a video if you want to answer an email you can do all that on
the front screen and once again the front screen is slightly larger than the screen that you would
get on Samsung's foldable device so I'm pretty sure that was done on purpose so the v-fold is
powered by the mediatek diamond City 9000 plus that spared to 12 gigs of RAM and can get this
device with either 256 gigs of internal storage or 512 gigs of internal storage I personally have
the version with 256 gigs of internal storage now for those of you that like benchmark scores this
device gets an ad to Benchmark score of just under a million so you already know that you're looking
at a pretty fast device now just to give you an example the latest Flagship device from Samsung
gets an end to Benchmark score of about 1.2 million so this is only about 20 percent lower
than what you'd get from that Snapdragon 8 gen 2. so this is a very fast device that being said
you're not gonna find any application that doesn't work well on this device so if you're on a game on
it just to give you an example I've played the Call of Duty on this device and it does perform
just like any other Flagship out there not to mention that when you have this massive screen it
is much nicer to play games on such a big screen but we'll talk more about that screen in a second
so this is using iOS version 13 which of course is based on Android 13. now the operating system is
very similar to what you would find on a Huawei or honor device I actually said that last time when
I've tried a techno phone and it is kind of the same with this device so everything is very smooth
very fluid so I haven't actually found anything that slows down the phone the phone is very fluid
for pretty much anything that you're gonna do on it now with a screen like this what can you do
well the best thing that you're gonna be able to do on a screen like this is basically use multiple
apps at the same time of course you can also watch videos if you want but the aspect ratio is not
exactly designed well I'm not gonna say it's not exactly designed to watch videos but when you are
watching a video you basically have two black bars one of the top one at the bottom so for example if
you're watching Netflix you're not going to be able to watch the full movie on the full screen
that is a downside because it would have been nice if the aspect ratio would have been perfect
so you can actually watch um full screen videos but that's not how it's um gonna work with this
phone or a lot of other foldables available on the market but if you're using multiple apps
at the same time having such a massive screen it's also very very nice now with the screen
like this of course the screen has to fold so we have the folding mechanism right here
in the center so depending how you look at the screen I'm not sure if you can actually see it
on camera here depending how the light kind of reflects in the screen you could see the crease
in the middle here but in most situations and as I said it really depends how the light um hits
the screen so you can see that Chris or not now when you go with your finger over it yes you can
feel it so you can definitely feel it somewhere in the center here but it's not actually bad so it's
more than usable I'm gonna say so it doesn't actually bother me when I'm doing something
thing on the device not to mention you can always turn it the other way and then you can use it that
way and you're not even going to touch that crease if you're using the bottom side of the device so
it really depends where you are using the phone how you're using it and so on but of course
depending how the lights hit the screen you may see that crease you may see some more reflection
than a regular phone because of course we have a larger screen now if the phone is in your pocket
and of course you get like a text message or an email and you don't necessarily want to open the
phone so you can actually respond to that email you also have this front screen here this has a
1080p resolution it also has a refresh rate of 120 hertz and it is bright enough to be seen
on Outdoors the same goes for the bigger screen here so you can still use this Outdoors but keep
in mind there will be more reflection outside so it is a better experience if you use this
um indoors but yes I did take it outside and you can see it even in the rectum sunlight but I don't
have the exact numbers for the peak brightness it wasn't mentioned in the manufacturer's
presentation for this device but yes you can see the front screen here so the secondary screen and
the main screen even on outside now one thing I've noticed with this device and it has to do
the hinge here so when you open it a bit it tends to want to stay open so you're not going to be
able to open it like halfway because if you open it this way it will open all the way so there is
no way to keep it like what a 45 degree angle or a 90 degree angle it always wants to stay open or
um closed so keep that in mind with other foldables you could keep it like a 90 degree
angle or something like that well this one either stays open or closed now there is a case that
comes in the Box the box is right here and I've actually done an unboxing video if you want to
check that out there will be a link in the video's description so so there is a case that comes in
the Box you can put that case on it it basically goes on this side here and then you have a little
stand so you can use it as a stand so you can basically watch TV on on your phone or do whatever
you want and the phone just stays there on the desk talking about this side here so this is the
side that has the camera system on so this is made out of well it is plastic some kind of plastic but
um it has this very interesting texture on it it even sounds pretty cool I'm not sure if you can
hear that but the phone does look different with this texture here now talking about cameras so of
course you have a 50 megapixel camera on the back there that's also capable of 4K at 60 frames per
second recordings and I guess I should show you a quick recording that I've done with this device
earlier today so let's check that out all right and we're moving on to a quick recording done
with the Phantom default for this recording I'm using the main camera on the back of the device
and recording in 4k at 30 frames per second the device can also do 4K at 60 frames per second
I also have the video stabilization enabled so we're gonna pan left so towards this Cactus here
and we'll pan left once again so we're gonna basically go out of here
and we'll turn right so kind of towards the Sun so we'll see how that uh looks we have some flowers
to the right here let me get close to these and once again we're gonna pan right and Walk This Way
so yeah this is how recording done with the Phantom v-fold
in 4k 30 frames per second with the main camera would look like
and going back to our camera so as I mentioned earlier we have that 50 megapixel main camera
then we have a 50 megapixel telephoto lens and we also have an ultra wide camera and then we have
two more cameras so we have one camera here so for example you can open um the camera here and you
can take a selfie with this camera here so let me take a self here but if you have the device open
and let's say that you're doing a video call you have another camera right here and you can also
use the main camera on the back to actually take pictures so if you open the camera app there is a
model you can have the other screen on and this so you can actually use the main camera which
is the best camera on the device basically to take selfies and it is much easier that way because you
can see yourself on that other screen so another coolant feature because you do have all these
extra cameras extra screens and then so on so yes we do have a variety of cameras everywhere and the
pictures that you've been seeing on your screen or taking on this device earlier today so I feel that
they are pretty decent for a foldable device the build quality on this device is also really nice
so the frame around the device here is made out of metal so we have metal here metal here and I've
also noticed that we have dual speakers so we have one speaker at the top here and one speaker at the
bottom here now depending how you're holding the device well I guess you could always turn
it this way and hold it this way and this so you don't actually cover those speakers but when I
was playing a game yesterday I was holding it on this one was kind of on covering the speakers but
as I said you could always turn it this way and this you're not gonna cover those um speakers of
course on the right hand side here we also have the volume button and the power button and the
power button is also a fingerprint scanner so let me just close this so you just have to touch this
and it will unlock it takes about half a second to to unlock so it works just as good as the
fingerprint scan that you'd get on pretty much any Flagship out there the other thing I want
to talk about is the battery life because I have to be honest I was a bit skeptical of the battery
life because we do have a pretty large screen so inside this device we do have a 5000 milliamp hour
battery and the device also supports 45 watt fast charging so charging this from 0 to 100 is done
in about 55 minutes not to mention that there is a charger that comes on in the box so I did them
take a few screenshots of my battery life but basically I used only the big screen because I
was curious to see how the device performs if you're using the big screen here and I've also
used the screen at the maximum brightness for the entire usage of the device and I'm gonna say and
I was able to get about six hours and a half um I did watch a lot of YouTube videos some music I
did watch some Netflix on the device I played for a bit but overall pretty decent usage I'm
gonna say so things that everybody would do for their day-to-day usage so you should be able to
get between six and seven hours of screen on time on one charge even if you're using the big screen
here at the maximum brightness so yeah this was a super quick look at the Phantom v-fold I love the
fact that the screen on the outside here is big enough that you can actually use this as a regular
phone so if you don't open it if you don't want to unfold it let's say that you're doing something
quick or not necessarily you're doing something quick but you're doing something that doesn't
really need that big screen the screen on the front here is big enough so you can actually do
anything that you need to do on the device which is very important because I did notice that with
a lot of foldable the outer screen here is kind of small and when you want to do something on the
big screen you just open it and you use that big screen I love the fact that when closed there is
no Gap anywhere so there will be no dust that goes in between the device here so if you have it in
your pocket there is no Gap in here which is also very nice so overall a very cool looking phone
and also price quite competitively compared to the competition of course what do you guys think about
this phone would you buy a foldable device what are your thoughts regarding foldable on phones
don't leave a comment and let me know thanks for watching and I'll see you guys in the next one
