I can see this having some advantages over two-folds. The unfolded screen has a better aspect ratio, there’s no need for a “back”-screen and all folds have only one screen on them, allowing the full thing to be thinner.
Price is an issue of course, as well as it having HarmonyOS instead of Android (less app compatibility).
Coming soon, they will unveil the Huawei xxMatexx XTX Pro X design.
Just… why…?
do not want. want removable and replaceable batteries and storage, also a headphone jack because fuck you.
Motorola has ⅔ of that on many models.
Removable battery not an option though.
I could complain about my experience from a few motos the recent years but let’s just say I would no longer recommend getting a moto.
I like removable batteries, but I like waterproofness combined with thin more.
Easily serviceable batteries are a great compromise IMO.
Why is there a “but”?
Because I like…
Big "but"s
That ain’t gonna satisfy the shareholders so fuck you instead
And while we’re at it, a physical tactile keyboard.
I’ll happily settle for any amount more physical buttons. It sucks to listen to music using my phone because I can’t skip, replay or pause songs without using the touch screen.
Westworld here we come!
they can make intricate folding devices now.
but making them repairable is somehow fucking impossible.
It’s not impossible for them to do. They just don’t want to do it.
I don’t want to cure cancer, I want to turn people into dinosaurs!
This is dumb and stupid
Pedantic nit: this thing doesn’t have three folds, the name is nonsense.
The suffix “fold” in this instance refers to the number of parts, not the number of folds. As confusing as that is.
Trifold wallet tho
Pedantic return: it has 3 screens with 2 connecting hinges, it is therefore trifold.
trifold in American English (ˈtraiˌfould) adjective
- triple; threefold
- having three parts a trifold screen
And two fold is how many screens ?
2, with 1 hinge. It’s like a normal phone but the screen number increased twofold.
Bifold means something that folds into two parts. Consider the bifold wallet or bifold door.
How can something fold into one part then ?
I guess the same way you slice something into one piece. Bisect is one less than trisect, so what’s one less than bisect?
Maybe the problem is that the phone is rectangular. I bet they could do it with a polygon with just two fewer sides. ;)
I can hear the sand crunching.
My tender palm hurts just looking at this. I can feel the pinch.
Gimme a fucking keyboard instead of extra screen size

Clicks keyboard?
they actually made one for this and it folds 🫨
Exactly, if you’re going to add mechanical elements that will break it better be a keyboard
This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.
Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.
Phones are becoming the new wallets…
Now I want a phone case with a chain that attaches to my belt.
(Like the kind bikers and punks used to wear.)
I already pay with my watch.
I don’t need anything that is between my phone and my laptop in size.
yay, it solves every non-existent problems!
some origami sheet
Shit will get REALLY real when we reach five-fold! Or better yet, touch-papyrus! Just roll that meter-long flab of screen up, and you’re good to go!
Going to 4 is just playing it safe, you gotta go to 5!
