At CES 2022, China’s TCL unveiled the Flex V foldable smartphone. The device features a Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3 design and mid-range chipset, but its main feature is its $ 600 price tag, which makes it the cheapest flexible OLED clamshell the market makes.

TCL Flex V is based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset, which was the most popular processor in mid-range smartphones in 2020. The device is equipped with a dual main camera that combines 48 megapixel and 16 megapixel sensors. A 44-megapixel sensor is used as the selfie module. The TCL Flex V has the same form factor as the more expensive Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3, but when folded, the gap between the halves is not so noticeable, which has a positive effect on the aesthetics.
From the main screen we only know that the foldable panel has an aspect ratio of 22: 9 and a resolution of 1080 × 2400 pixels. The refresh rate was not disclosed, but a 120Hz LTPO panel can hardly be expected from a foldable smartphone in this price range.
A 3545 mAh battery is responsible for the autonomy. The example shown at CES 2022 runs on Android 11, but the final version will likely ship with Android 12.
TCL has not yet announced the timing of the new product on the market, but does promise that it will be the cheapest of the flexible smartphones.
