This device is meant to be a tri-fold phone, like the <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/huawei-mate-xt-is-the-most-exciting-phone-around\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/huawei-mate-xt-is-the-most-exciting-phone-around\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Huawei Mate XT<\/a>; however, TECNO says its version will be the &#8220;thinnest of its kind.&#8221; A major highlight of the Ultimate G Fold is TECNO&#8217;s decision to go with an inward-folding design.<\/p>\n<p>The post says its inner displays fold inward &#8220;twice,&#8221; to &#8220;shield the screens when not in use.&#8221; TECNO remains confident that this inward-folding method will keep your displays protected from &#8220;scratches and impacts.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>You may like<\/p>\n<p>Internally, the Ultimate G Fold concept features a dual-hinge, as expected. TECNO states users can unfold the phone and lay it completely flat. Moreover, despite rocking the internal mechanisms designed for a phone with three screens, the post adds that the Ultimate G Fold is as thin as a dual-screen (book-style) phone.

In one image, the person holding the supposed phone shows just how TECNO plans for its inward-folding method to work. The two screens that fold appear quite tightly pressed against one another, and the center display, when closed.<\/p>\n<p>When unfolded, the phone appears quite thin, but it&#8217;s difficult to ascertain just how thin just from photos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted companion in the world of Android<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it seems TECNO is preparing a horizontal triple camera array on the back of the Ultimate G Fold. This is a notable difference from the company&#8217;s other concept shown off in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of 2024, TECNO gave us a <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/tecno-phantom-ultimate-2-reveal\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/phones\/tecno-phantom-ultimate-2-reveal\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">solid look at its tri-fold concept<\/a>, which was previously called the Phantom Ultimate 2. A clear difference between what&#8217;s been alleged on social media and the 2024 concept art is its camera array. TECNO started with a vertical triple array, but has seemingly switched to a horizontal look. It&#8217;s also worth mentioning that TECNO states its tri-fold can achieve an 11mm measurement when folded.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, that was slightly slimmer than Samsung&#8217;s Z Fold 6 (12.1mm). We&#8217;ll have to see how far TECNO has come with its folded and unfolded measurements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What you need to know TECNO teases its newest tri-fold concept, the Phantom Ultimate G Fold, which sports&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":47670,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[611,158,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-47669","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114815521493848171","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47669","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47669"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47669\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47670"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47669"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47669"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47669"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
