TCL revealed the TCL Flex V, its first foldable phone, during its participation in CES 2022 a few days ago, which is the cheapest foldable phone that can be purchased.
At first glance, the TCL Flex V appears quite similar to the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip foldable clamshell (horizontal) phone, but with a change in specifications.

At first sight, another model of the Samsung Galaxy Flip appears, with relatively curved edges and can be folded in a scalloped way, from the inside a large screen with relatively small edges but not enough space to fill the phone screen, and at the top in the middle appears the selfie camera lens.
From the back, the back of the phone is made of glossy plastic, at the top left there is a main camera box that contains two lenses with an LED flash, and below it is a small secondary screen to show a few information such as the time, date and some notifications.
On the back, from the middle, a split bar appears when the screen is bent, and it is of metal, as is the case for the overall phone frame.
TCL Flex V . Specifications
From the inside, the new phone works with a Qualcomm processor for the middle classes, Snapdragon 765G, which is a processor dating back to 2019 when it was first revealed, and phones that work with it began to appear on the market at the beginning of 2020, as it was the preferred processor for the middle classes.
The processor supports 6 GB of RAM with an internal storage of 128 GB, with expectations that there are other options for storage space up to 256 or 512 GB.
The rear camera of the phone comes with two lenses, the first and the primary with a 48-megapixel camera to capture ultra-wide images, and the second with a 16-megapixel telephoto lens, which is used to isolate the background in taking pictures.
On the other hand, the selfie camera comes with a 44-megapixel camera with an ultra-wide lens, and it works with a battery with a capacity of 3,545 mAh, but preliminary information remains so far not completely confirmed.
TCL Flex V . Price
What distinguishes the phone the most, and at a time when all the specifications of the foldable phone have not been confirmed, what the company confirms is that it will come at a price of about $ 600, which is much lower than any phone that can be folded in the market at the present time, as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 price 1000 dollars.
The company has not announced when the TCL Flex V will be officially available in the market, but according to expectations it will soon be available for pre-booking after confirming all the specifications and the final price that the phone will come with.
