    It’s more childish to pretend huawei made the first trifold phone when they may the first commercial trifold phone.

    they didn’t develop or innovate new technology to add one more fold.

    “you need technological innovation to make the idea possible”

    someone did, I hope you’ll notice that Huawei is not claiming to have developed some new innovation.

    which makes sense, considering there are other companies that already made trifold phones.

    they added one more fold to a phone using the established and developed technology of foldable screens, and have brought it to mass market first, that’s all.

    there are no new features, no efficiency gains, certainly not cost effective, nothing is significantly different about this phone except that another screen and hinge has been added.

    a third fold to reach true tablet size that people have been talking about and companies have been developing for years is a logical development in foldable phones and foldable screens, established technologies, not innovation.

    I hope people enjoy it (for that price tag they better), and I hope it spurs development in the field.

    I’m excited to see the reviews once it’s been used for a few weeks.

      False

      False

      False

      Making the screen fold on the outside of the fold is not the same as making it fold on the inside. Which is probably why Samsung didn’t manage to beat Huawei to market.

      Why won’t you acknowledge when all reviews say that Huawei made the first trifold?
      To have a prototype that isn’t production ready is not the same. It may not even work!
