Tecno wants you to know that it"s serious about innovation. After premiering a retractable portrait camera in a smartphone, it"s now showing off a concept rollable sliding screen phone.

Meet the Tecno Phantom Vision V concept - the device that aims to spell the death of tablets, but still fits in your pocket. It folds to nearly regular smartphone size, but if needed can expand to match a mid-size tablet.

The Tecno Phantom Vision V starts off as any regular foldable when folded, well mostly. It has a display on the front, while on the rear it has a triple camera. Tecno has added a small display on the back, which it calls a reverse-side back cover. It will display notifications, reminders, and an always-on display-styled clock.

Unfold the Vision V, revealing a larger inner display, similar to the Galaxy Z Fold4, Xiaomi Mix Fold2, or a vivo X Fold+. But the Tecno Phantom Vision V concept can also expand its inner display further by rolling it out to a full 10.1 inches.

The display is made up of 11 functional layers, giving it both flexibility and durability. The casing is made of "aerospace-grade" titanium so it"s also very durable.
