      This is stupid. Instead of using the foldable display technology to have a phablet and then make it smaller by folding it to fit any pocket, they make a tablet that turns into a phablet. Next up TV screens that turn into tablets.
      If the RAZR is true, then it will kill this.

        I'd love to have one of those. I wonder when it will be released, and how much it's going to cost.

            Can you crack a plastic bag??

              Since it's now glass everywhere and no way to use a bumper case, it will break 100% when dropped any side.

                I don't get why this is called a foldable phone. This is a foldable tablet. Honestly i don't need something as big as today's phones that becomes something bigger.Media consumption is just fine on a 6+ inch phone. What i would need, is something as small and as portable as possible, that can become a large phone, like today's 6+ inch phones

                  How about Xiaomi Bi Flex? It would make sense to make both front and back cameras popup from the middle

                    The more the merrier. Ita nice to see Chinese companies innovating too. The meizu wireless concept phone is great too.

                      I'm not saying that the concept isn't cool, but I'd rather have a laptop like smartphone with real keyboard buttons that folds into a big display.

                        Anonymous, 12 Feb 2019Foldables will destroy tablet market eventually. The foldable phone hardware still a bit compromise compared to tablet. Unacceptable thickness and weight, less endurance than usual tablet, complicated teardown and repair work, durability and lifespan is still questionable.

                              Just a little bit suspect, Samsung say they want make foldable smartphone for many years and MWC 2019 should launch the real phone, but China phone makers doesn't bragging many years like Samsung did, they just announce recent few months will follow Samsung, is it copy paste faster than development? Samsung patent is nothing to use. China can do whatever they want.

                                      The phone is way WAY to wide when folded. It basically defeats the purpose of foldables if you're just going to fold it into a phablet.
