TECNO Phantom V Review: A Fold For The Price Of A Flip

[TECNO PHANTOM V FOLD REVIEW]

Ever since they first hit the market four years ago, large-format folding phones have faced three major challenges: they’re big; they’re fragile; and they’re expensive. Well manufacturers like Xiaomi and Oppo have begun to solve the size issue; Samsung has started to offer some pretty inclusive repair options (at least in the United States) … and now, a company you’ve probably never heard of has released a foldable that undercuts its competitors by hundreds of dollars. I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve spent a week with the $1100 foldable – the TECNO Phantom V Fold!

The fact that he makes videos about almost all the foldables makes him one of the best.

I'll give the props for including a great case. It's carbon fiber(my favorite material) and has a built in kick stand . A huge upgrade over the clear plastic/rubber cases you get with most other phones.

Everyday that Micheal drops a new video is a good day.

[theebigbam]

any lower cost foldables is a good thing to me, this is one step forward towards an affordable foldable future. I'm still waiting until that happens until I get one... either that or a miraculous drop of dollar bills on my lap. I love seeing you be so passionate about foldables!

[DotNetWizard]

To be honest I was expecting companies to drop the folding screens very quickly after the first iterations like they did with those 3D displays
But the willingness to innovate is just great! Thanks for the great video like always!

Quality content as always. These folding phones remind me of the Nokia n9500 communicator. You should do a video of that phone, which, in my opinion, inspired this whole folding design.

[NigelMelanisticSmith]

Mr. Mobile is one of the creators you can trust when he says get excited for a hinge based video lol

[kbhasi]

(3:00) I still find it awesome that Michael uses Evernote in a similar way to how I use it to plan out my videos, as I too have dedicated notebooks for all 2 of my YouTube channels _(soon to be more, hint hint)_ and one note for each video idea.
(3:34) I should, one day, search online for modern replicas of antique furniture to match my somewhat strange and film-inspired design tastes.
(3:40) I hope that reply was to a legitimate sponsor and not a Russian cryptocurrency scam group posing as one
(3:44) I won't be surprised if that was backed by a VSAT or 3G connection.
(3:50) Yep, I do a similar thing too, but usually on a tablet as I primarily read comics. 'Podcasts and Spotify streaming' are one for me as I listen to podcasts on Spotify.

I'd love to see a video on the value of second hand foldables - like how does a galaxy fold2 or fold3 hold up today for the money?

2:03 You got your tie tied, which makes you a tie tie-er NOT tyre.😂

[tonysolino]

I have to say I agree I would like to see the next version of this as well as see it in the states. The market just doesn't have competition for folding devices in states. Wish LG was still making devices since I think they would make the one we could all use and afford.

[sky_daddy_]

Thanks for the review. Good to see a budget foldable that actually looks half-decent.

[tonymontanea]

First time seeing one of your videos you're the most honest reviewer I've seen in a while

[bayuchemist]

the only tech youtuber that i believe with foldable phones!!!!

[flamezero]

You're so underrated my friend. Really love all the quality videos you produced. Keep it up mate!

[negig]

Hands down the Best soothing voice of MrMobile
With An Honest review... never lies to sell phones and even The only reviewer who Openly tells you the positives and Negatives of the device in a video not touched by Corporates to Tamper or Edit the video to their preference

I know that is hard that why you have a sponsor every time cause we know what you will lose

Stay Mobile and stay to roots but evolve 🙏🙏🙏❤🕉💪

[espinita.]

I'm not really sure how you perfected mix reviewing with blogging but I love it

[ajwalker]

This is why I subscribe to your channel! Thanks for bringing this phone to my attention, warts and all. It means the foldable market is getting closer and closer to the average consumer. I wish Samsung would take a page from its own playbook and have a Galaxy Fold FE edition that knocks a couple hundred off the price or what Google does with their A series line of their flagship phones.

[howthisbusinessworks]

Finally a video for which i can say that it's giving honest opinion. Most of the videos on the YouTube of this phone talks about positive stuff and no one talks about the negetive ones. Seems like almost all the videos are sponsered by company itself. By the way, you can buy this now brand new for around US $600 in India.

Once again... another perfect video. Mr. Mobile is THE authority on Mobile reviews. This is the standard.
