“We are so excited to bring such innovation to Kenya as TECNO, and we can’t wait for the reviews and what our customers will experience with our Phantom V-Fold. This is a debut for us as TECNO, emphasizing that we are truly beyond extraordinary,” said TECNO Country Manager Ray Fang.


In March 2023, TECNO was among thousands of brands that showcased its latest inventions during a four-day event bringing together the latest innovations in its field.

Headlining at TECNO’s booth was its smartphone series including Phantom, Camon, Spark, POP and its latest AIoT product ecosystem that covers the smart individual, smart business and smart home.


This year’s MWC summit saw TECNO’s debut as a new and rising driving force in the smartphone and AIoT industry across the globe, including the global unveiling of the Phantom V-Fold smart device.

The Phantom V-Fold will be officially launched in Kenya later in April and it is expected to introduce into the local market the most affordable foldable device.
