Tecno, a renowned name in the mobile phone industry, has recently announced its latest creation straight from its R&D labs: the Phantom Ultimate rollable mobile phone concept. This innovative device showcases the future of mobile phone design. Its ability to seamlessly transform its display from a compact 6.55 inches to a more expansive 7.11 inches in a mere 1.2 to 1.3 seconds. This transformation is made possible by a single-drive motor system, which can be activated with a button on the top right side of the device.
Technical Specifications and Features
The Phantom Ultimate boasts a 7.11-inch On-cell LTPO AMOLED panel, offering a resolution of 2,296 x 1,596 pixels and a pixel density of 388 PPI. This ensures a crisp and vibrant display, enhancing the user experience. The device claims to offer 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage, but verifying such numbers on a concept device remains challenging.
When not expanded, the device functions as a standard 6.55-inch smartphone. Another feature that sets the Phantom Ultimate apart is the supplementary screen on its rear, which serves as an ‘Always-On Display’. This ensures that users can quickly glance at essential notifications and updates without fully activating the device.
In terms of design, the Phantom Ultimate is sleek and user-friendly. It measures 9.93 mm in thickness at its base, ensuring a comfortable grip. The device also incorporates protective glass for the sliding area and a textured back for enhanced grip and durability.
Market Availability
While the Phantom Ultimate offers a tantalizing glimpse into the future of rollable smartphones, it remains a concept. There’s no immediate indication of its release in the market. The challenges of creating rollable smartphones are intricate, and technological hurdles must be addressed before such devices become mainstream.
