Foldable phones are having a moment, but alongside the release of new book-style foldables and flip-style phones, some are experimenting with new concepts. We’ve seen a few foldables with two hinges instead of one, but the latest concept unveiled at MWC 2025 could be the most polished yet. In fact, the Tecno Phantom Ultimate 2 is one of the thinnest foldable phones yet.
To be clear, the Phantom Ultimate 2 is just a concept for now. Tecno hasn’t said anything about releasing the phone to the public. But, the concept does at least show that work on foldable phones is progressing pretty nicely.
Hands on with the world’s thinnest smartphone
So, why would you want a foldable phone with two hinges instead of one? It all comes down to more screen real estate. The Phantom Ultimate 2 concept essentially involves one-third of the display on the front when the phone is completely folded up — and that’s what you’ll use in phone mode. Then, you can unfold the device to get a wide aspect ratio, like the phone on the laptop or tablet you already use. That’s instead of the near-square aspect ratios we’ve seen from most foldables so far.
