I’d love to see a Japanese fan style phone 🪭 Maybe it folds up into a reusable straw?
Not that I'd ever buy it, but I'm looking forward to the price tag so I can have a good laugh.
cant wait for the TeleVone^TM^. a phone that flips to the size of a full 4k television
Why did they make the screens fold in? The Huawei Mate XT folds up in a z-shape, which imo makes more sense as you don't need a 'fourth' outer display anymore. Seems more efficient that way.
Because they're fragile. You don't want your screen to die on the first drop.

Actually not the first tri-folded phone, but OK
Oh, that would be nice if the folds weren't still extremely fragile 😂
Huawei: Fuck everything, we're doing five folds.
Imagine the possibilities!
- Heated camping mattress
- Sausage roll warmer
- Car windscreen defroster
I don't want large phones that get even larger. I want a large phones that becomes smaller for my pocket.

Woah, I cant believe Samsung created something that Huawei released over a year ago (I do belive the Huawei Mate XT Ultimate was the first tri folding phone although it didnt release outside china)
One plus also have been making fold phones for a while too.

This is a very cool piece of technology. The comments here naysaying about it seem odd to me. If it's not for you that's fine, but many millions of foldables have been bought over the past few years, and they continue to sell very well today
And they will continue to have big ass creases visible in the folding part

1K per screen according to Sammy.
This is going to end up like the number of razor blades on disposable razors isn’t it?

It sucks. I know its not for everyone and for sure its gonna cost €€€€.
The foldable phone are fine, yet expensive and not so widely used.

Impressive from an engineering standpoint and it's only going to get more refined. Give it 5-10 years and maybe they will be durable enough for regular use.
