The outside display is just about 21:9 and internal about 4:3, sounds like it's an ultimate retro gaming handheld. Lack of SD card support is a pain though
For folds, I like the old flip phone style flips better. The only puzzling thing with those ones are why keep the front facing camera when the rear cameras have a display on that half on the phone. The outer display on this is 6.5". It's not a compromise in size at all like the flips/razrs. Internal screen shouldn't have a selfie camera either
If I can't crumple it up and score 3 points to impress my coworkers, I'm not buying
I guess i don't really see the point. Is there a strong use case out there, or is this a marge's potato? ("I just think they're neat")
What is the point of current folding phones? I still fail to grasp that. This, however, seems more clear. It's a phone that can become a full on tablet. This is a true transformation into an otherwise disparate device. A phone that becomes a slightly bigger phone is the real mystery to me.
seems like curved screen gimmick

Ight, this shit is just getting loony.
But...why?
I do love the idea of having a 10" tablet that fits into my pocket.
I'm still waiting for the tech to mature more, come down in price, and increase in durability though.

I don't need origami for a phone. Just bring back classic flip phones or stop. FFS
And who asked for it? They very well know that nobody will buy that.
Just get a tablet at this point.

Sure buddy, whatever keeps the iPhone nightmares at bay for another year. But does the battery last three times as long? Who cares about screens if I have to charge twice a day.
Can't speak for the TriFold, but I easily get a full day out of my Fold 7, even with Battery Protection set to 85%. I usually end my day with a 40% charge, which is considerably better than my last phone (Fold 4). Easily over 1.5x more battery life.
That said, I miss the pre-Android/iOS days; back then I was charging my phone maybe once a week.
You know that fat British guy that someone is posting shorts of on Youtube/Tiktok? "I was working for a company and their main product wasn't selling. They asked me if they should lower the price, I told them 'no, make your entry level product more shit.' So they took their entry level product and added roofing nails to the seat cushions. Overnight, sales of their main product skyrocketed because no one was buying their entry level anymore." That guy? He said he likes Samsung's folding phone because "I'm old and my vision is failing, so I like the larger screen of the Fold. But you can't sell that, because it's not cool to sell products for the old and infirm."
