Tecno

Tecno and its sibling brand Infinix, under the banner of Transsion Holdings, are among only a handful of OEMs trying to maintain a mass-market appeal while also offering phones that break the mould and stand out in the overcrowded sea of generic-looking offerings. Aiding its cause is the Tecno Pova Curve 5G, which was recently launched in India, and this one is no exception. Featuring a starship-inspired design and promising on-paper specifications, the handset seeks to impress at first glance. However, do these additions really justify its price tag?

Foldable phones are still a long way off from being considered as mainstream smartphones, and for good reason — they're either too expensive or there's a perception that these handsets aren't durable enough to last more than a couple of years. However, the quality of folding screens has improved considerably over the past few years, while foldable phones are slowly becoming more accessible in terms of pricing. Earlier this year, Motorola launched the Razr 40 that was priced under the Rs. 60,000 mark, and Tecno followed suit with the Phantom V Flip. I've spent the last couple of weeks using the Tecno Phantom V Flip and here are my thoughts on the company's latest clamshell-style folding phone.
