    He says “It’s gonna be…” these products do not exist.

    he’s talking about the Samsung trifold Z

    Doesn’t exist as far as I can tell. Maybe they couldn’t make it work?

    The world’s first tri-folding phone could finally land soon – and not from Samsung

    So no even if you may have seen it, those were not actual products, but development prototypes.

    innovation is a new idea resulting in some sort of paradigm shift or surprising development, not the logical progression of a known process like a foldable phone.

    That’s just childish, obviously you need technological innovation to make the idea possible. It’s easy to say “flying car”, and that has been done for a century, the innovation is to actually make it happen.
    The tri folded phone is not like previous folded phones, because the screen needs to be able to fold both ways. From THAT point it’s just continuation so you can make any number of folds.

    let me control my TVs and other devices with an IR blaster again please.

    The Xiaomi 13T / 13T Pro have that.

      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

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

        False

        they added one more fold to a phone using the established and developed technology of foldable screens,

        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!
