TCL Ultra Flex foldable smartphone specifications (expected)

During MWC 2022, TCL also unveiled a concept foldable smartphone. The smartphone is tentatively named Ultra Flex and can be folded inwards or outwards using a 360-degree rotating hinge. It is touted to get an 8-inch PLP AMOLED display with 2,460x1,860 resolution. The display is prone to breaking as the report mentions it wasn't able to view a working display during the hands-on event. TCL has not shared any specifications on how the display or the hinge will work as of now.

The Chinese tech giant also mentions that having a dual foldable display has its own benefits. When folded inwards, it will work similarly to Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series while folded outwards — like Huawei Mate X — could provide a preview to the camera's subjects to see how they look before getting clicked. The hands-on device also shows an empty slot which is speculated to include a stylus.
