Selfie with a million hearts: 5 life hacks for cool shots on a TECNO folding smartphone

1. Tilt the lid to find the best angle

Selfies taken on a regular smartphone cannot boast of a variety of compositions. This is, as a rule, always a close-up or medium-sized shot, in which a little of the background is visible. You can only play with the artistic obstruction of the horizon, but this will have virtually no effect on the composition of the final photo.

Foldable smartphone TECNO PHANTOM V Flip 5G does not limit imagination. It makes it easy to take a full-length selfie and change the shooting angle. The phone cover unfolds and locks in different positions from 30° to 150° - this makes it possible to choose an advantageous angle. Photos taken on the front camera are clear and rich thanks to the 32 megapixel resolution and eye autofocus function. So a smudged look or a faint smile won’t ruin your selfies. All you need to do is place the phone on a comfortable surface, adjust the camera angle and set the timer.

By the way, this option will help out those who don’t like how they look in a selfie. Due to close proximity, facial proportions can be distorted, but with the PHANTOM V Flip 5G you will forget about this problem.

2. Use highlighter for natural contouring

There is a simple rule in the art of taking selfies: light is king. Moreover, it should softly dissipate strictly in the direction of the face. If the lamp is placed at the back, side, top or bottom, there is a risk that the shots will be upset. Suddenly the picture reveals bags under the eyes, a pair of spare chins (which never existed!) and all the skin imperfections.

WITH TECNO PHANTOM V Flip You won’t have to wait for sunny weather by the window or buy a ring lamp. The front camera has two options that work to create a soft and beautiful light for selfies - LED flash and screen backlight. They emphasize the natural skin tone, smooth out imperfections and provide correct contouring: the shadows will fall where they should be. By the way, with the PHANTOM V Flip you can take rich and mesmerizing selfies even at night. But if the light source is in the frame - for example, you decide to check in near a neon sign - you should turn off the flash.

3. Remove your outstretched arm from the frame with FreeCam

To choose the very selfie that your subscribers will definitely like, you need to take a lot of shots. On a regular smartphone, by the fifth time, your fingers become numb. In addition, this position does not allow you to diversify your pictures with more intricate posing. For example, frame your face with two hands and turn a banal selfie into an artistic portrait. Or create the effect of a random shot in which you are holding coffee in one hand and straightening your hair with the other.

For such cases PHANTOM V Flip 5G there is a FreeCam system. With its help, you can take photos using gestures, voice commands, or even a smile. Just go to the camera settings and select what you need in the “Shooting methods” section. By the way, photos taken with the main camera will come out even better, because its resolution is 64 megapixels.

Taking a selfie portrait is easy with the PHANTOM V Flip. Place your phone on a flat surface and click until you get a great photo. You can play with a wide-angle lens - for example, if you need to stretch your legs and achieve the effect of fashion photography. And it’s easy to pose by looking at the small display on the lid—in photo preview mode, it works like a small mirror.

4. Experiment with settings to create a memorable photo

For example, you can use zoom to take a mysterious but detailed photo of half your face. Or lower the exposure and change the depth of the frame to get a professional portrait without processing in photo editors. This function PHANTOM V Flip works great in “boring” scenarios like photos at a table in a restaurant or at home on the sofa.

Another setting that can change the mood of a frame is contrast. If you want to take a trendy photo “a la 90s”, try lowering this indicator. The photo will be slightly blurry, with a yellowish haze and graininess. In the smartphone settings, you can try different scenarios: add studio light, move the white balance, adjust shadows and highlights. Experiment and look for your unique style!

5. Take a time-lapse and take a “live” selfie

Imagine that you are on a busy tourist street. I want to capture an iconic place, but passers-by keep getting into the frame. Blurring the background in a photo editor is not the best solution, because this will destroy all the charm of the place. The solution is to take not a photo, but a selfie-video! Put PHANTOM V Flip 5G on a flat surface, start a time-lapse in 4K format and stand still for a couple of minutes.

After saving, you will get a short video with a cinematic effect - you in the center of the frame and a quickly changing background of the crowd. Voila, great content is ready, you can post it and wait for reactions.
