Flagship Imaging Elevated By FreeCam
Despite being perfectly pocket-sized, PHANTOM V FLIP 2 5G delivers a flagship candy bar smartphone level camera system, with a 50MP main camera, 50MP ultra-wide angle camera, and front 32MP camera, while its flip form unfolds new shooting perspectives. The powerful rear cameras offer amazing optical grade lossless zoom results, with 2x extended focal length and 2x-10x zoom. Image quality is maintained even when zoomed in. For photos of friends or unforgettable party moments in low light, a 1/1.57” large main camera sensor and 1µm pixels produce clear, detailed photos with improved clarity, brightness, and tone. The main camera also supports 4K@30fps Ultra Steady video stabilizer for clear, stable videos, even on the move. The 32MP shining selfie front camera is ideal for capturing super selfies or shooting exciting vlogs with advanced phase detection autofocus (PDAF) with more accurate human eye autofocus that achieves finer feature recognition. Equipped with a front flash and physical-level fill light, it also solves the problem of no light source for selfies in low-light environments, making selfies clearer, brighter and more realistic. With its foldable design, PHANTOM V FLIP 2 5G flips standard shooting on its head for a more creative imaging experience. Capable of hovering at any angle from 30-150°, users can explore new perspectives with FreeCam shooting. FreeCam Selfie, FreeCam Group Selfie and FreeCam Video all let users make the most of the folding design to capture exciting hands-free shots. Hovering the phone also lets users shoot incredible FreeCam Timelapse and FreeCam Long Exposure shots without the need for a tripod. Besides FreeCam, the foldable dual screen design allows even more unexpected shooting methods. With Ultra Selfie, users can shoot highly detailed, ultra wide-angle selfies without unfolding the device, using the device’s flagship-level rear cameras. With Cover Screen Preview, the shooting screen is displayed on both the main screen and the cover screen so the subject of the shot knows exactly how the shot will look in real-time. With Retro DV Mode, users can feel the classic video camera vibes with the device hovered, creating atmospheric shots with built-in templates and filters.

Ultra-Flat Flagship 120Hz Main Screen
Aside from its iconic ThruPool cover screen, PHANTOM V FLIP 2 5G also features an immaculate ultra-flat 6.9-inch flagship main screen to bring users an immersive viewing experience. The 120Hz LTPO self-adaptive refresh rate display offers seamless and dynamic screen interactions. The AMOLED Full HD+ display with 100% P3 color gamut delivers a rich viewing experience, while 2160Hz high-level PWM dimming controls brightness to reduce the impact of usage on the eyes. Even with regular folding and unfolding, the main screen’s crease line is kept to a minimum, thanks in part to the device’s double helix star track water drop hinge. Constructed using aerospace-grade super strength steel, the hinge ensures a tight fit when opened and closed, while providing a lifetime of at least 400,000 normal temperature folds, 150,000 high temperature folds and 100,000 low temperature folds.
