The introduction of the Tecno Phantom V Fold has shown that creating a folding smartphone is no easy feat. However, I want to make it clear that I am not here to criticize it. In fact, I have a positive outlook on it.

This is a folding smartphone produced by a relatively unknown brand. Despite this, it should be celebrated and given recognition. This is especially true considering that well-known brands have yet to release a foldable phone with a large screen.
