Tecno Unveils the Phantom Ultimate 2 Trifold Design Phone

Image
  The Phantom Ultimate 2 is Tecno’s first triple foldable concept phone. It follows the Phantom Ultimate, a rollable concept phone. Following the discovery of a trifold phone from Huawei, we now have another Chinese company in the mix: Tecno's Phantom Ultimate 2, a concept phone that was unveiled on Tuesday at the Berlin IFA technology conference. According to Tecno, this foldable phone "reimagines the large-screen experience in a pocket-sized device." In contrast to book-style folding phones like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 6 or Google's Pixel 9 Pro Fold, the Phantom Ultimate 2's cover screen unfolds into a larger "screen" measuring 10 inches, which is noticeably larger than the 7.6- and 8-inch displays found on its book-style peers.

PARIS (Reuters) - Pavel Durov, the founder and CEO of the messaging app Telegram, is a Russian-French billionaire. He was detained on Saturday night at the Bourget airport outside of Paris, according to TF1 TV and BFM TV, which cited anonymous sources. Durov was traveling in his private jet, according to TF1's website, which also stated that he was the subject of an arrest warrant in France as part of an initial police investigation.

TF1 and BFM both said that the investigation was focused on a lack of moderators on Telegram, and that police considered this situation to allow criminal activity to go on undeterred on the messaging app. Durov, a Russian native, and his brother launched Telegr...
