Nearly one year ago, Tecno showcased its first tri-fold concept phone – the Phantom Ultimate 2. That device was later showcased at MWC 2025, and Tecno is now ready to hold a formal announcement. The Phantom Ultimate G Fold Concept will be unveiled later this month (mid-July) and we have some early images of the device to share with you today, showcasing the G Fold in its folded and unfolded states.

It features an inward-folding design, similar to what Samsung is expected to go with on its own tri-fold. This allows the main display to be completely shielded when folded, providing better protection from accidental damage. We should mention that Tecno’s G Fold is still not ready for mass production and will remain a concept for now.
Phantom Ultimate G Fold will offer a cover screen on the leftmost part and a triple camera setup. Tecno promises a flat and seamless display when fully unfolded, with no visible crease. This was achieved by combining flexible display layering and developing smaller hinge components for the dual-hinge mechanism. The innovative hinge supports multi-angle hovering and various formations.
Tecno also claims the G Fold will be the slimmest tri-fold device to date, which means it will be even thinner than the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate, which measures a mere 3.6mm when unfolded.
In related news, tipster Ice Universe shared even more images of the device.

Triple the price to repair screen than average phone. Increase chance of burn screen black mark. Yeah this phone come with std screen instead emoled
And if anything happens to the relatively fragile internal screen, there's a backup screen which I consider the most important part of the foldable
"the thinnest tri fold to date!!!!!" so it won the race it ran alone? Impressive.
