I tried Tecno's modular phone concept at MWC - and it quickly got weird

**Executive summary:** ZDNET's hands-on report covers Tecno's magnetic modular phone prototype shown at MWC, describing its thin design, MediaTek Dimensity 8350 with 12 GB RAM and 256 GB storage, a 3,000 mAh base battery with stackable 3,000 mAh battery modules (up to 12,000 mAh), and several attachable camera and accessory modules; the reviewer finds the concept promising but notes weak magnets, camera issues (inverted images, lag on the Wi‑Fi 100x module), and accessories that often act as external peripherals rather than true modular components, concluding it needs stronger magnets, camera/software fixes, and vendor commitment before being recommended.
