Last year, Tecno teased tech enthusiasts with a rollable phone concept dubbed the Phantom Ultimate. While it began as just a concept seen in demo videos, Tecno surprised attendees at MWC this year with actual prototypes. Let’s delve into what Tecno has been brewing at its headquarters, including the Phantom Ultimate and other innovative ideas.
The Phantom Ultimate: A Rollable Wonder
The Phantom Ultimate isn’t just a concept anymore; it’s a real working device. Sporting a 6.55” display that wraps around the left edge, this phone wows with its rollable screen technology. With the push of a button, the display extends, transforming into a wider 7.11” screen (albeit with a different aspect ratio), all in a mere 1.3 seconds. What’s more, there’s a “second display” on the back, cleverly integrated to offer additional functionality without compromising on durability.
Foldables Reinvented: Tecno’s Innovative Approach
While rollable phones are still in the experimental phase, Tecno has already made strides in the foldable arena with its Phantom V Fold and V Flip models. At MWC, the company showcased its commitment to innovation by introducing the Borderless Foldable Main Screen concept. This innovative design tweak, leveraging Ultra Thin Glass (UTG), reduces bezel size, resulting in an impressive screen-to-body ratio.
Chameleon Color Technology: A Visual Delight
At last year’s MWC, Tecno introduced the Chameleon Color Technology, a groundbreaking feature that adds a splash of color to the smartphone experience. This technology, situated on the device’s back panel, offers users the ability to choose from thousands of colors, thanks to sub-micron prisms that respond to magnetic fields. While it requires ambient light to function, it consumes minimal power and boasts rapid color-shifting capabilities, enhancing the device’s aesthetic appeal.

Looking Ahead: Tecno’s Advanced Concepts
Tecno continues to push the boundaries of smartphone innovation with concepts like the Tecno Pocket Go and Tecno Dynamic 1. These forward-thinking designs hint at the exciting possibilities that lie ahead for Tecno’s product lineup.
In conclusion, Tecno’s showcase at MWC underscores its commitment to pushing the envelope in smartphone design and technology. As the industry evolves, Tecno remains at the forefront, delivering cutting-edge solutions that redefine the smartphone experience.
