€2000 for a phone that's more fragile than the average smartphone?
Well, no, it doesn't have a future in my pocket. That's because the company stated so.

      Yeah totally 23% of people are willing to spend 2 grand on this phone, not like 99% of them "Yes" voters can't afford a phone beyond Redmi Note series.

        AresinUAE, 22 May 2022My goodness gsmarena, your new expanding ad takes up the wh... moreThey need ads to run the website, or they will have nothing to pay for the employees/ workers they have-

          Honestly, I don't care about google apps there are a lot of alternatives already, not to mention they slow down the phone and drain battery. But 5G is available in my country and it's A MUST! I'll return to Huawei only when they start offering flagships with internal 5G modem (not through accessory like what they're offering now).

            Why pay double for foldable phone when I can get 2 non-foldable flagships at the same or even less price?

              Improve the foldable screen panel not the hinge or the way of folding.

                From what I've noticed, most of the people don't actually like foldables. They were cool when they were first released, but they are still at the beginning and it will take some time to achieve the durability of the regular phones.
                Also, they are very expensive and they don't offer anything extra except for the folding display to differentiate themselves from regular slabs.
                If they would have had dual-boot with Android + Linux or Windows, SD card slots, 3.5mm jack, people that are productive on their phones would have been attracted to buy one. But they don't differentiate themselves from regular smartphones. No incentive whatsoever. With Who-a-who it's actually even worse: they lack the most important software for Android - Google services. No YouTube, no Uber, no maps etc => No thanks! Keep your trash! Go back to pig farming Who-a-who. You're done with making smartphones!

                  All right.

                    you have to suffer, 22 May 2022nah im scared to put that in my pocket. it'll bend or ... moreExactly outward folding is risky considering how these foldable displays are delicate

                      The only reason am going to buy this is that I want to experience it but no GMS nd no 5g makes it stupid for €2000

                      Even iphones support Google

                          Give me a rollable instead of noodles and I'm in

                            My goodness gsmarena, your new expanding ad takes up the whole screen and impossible to scroll over or close. Very smart if you want your readers to be pissed off and not to read the articles.Whoever thought of doing it should be given an award!

                              This is more of a concept phone in my opinion

                                    It doesn't matter how good the hardware is. If it doesn't have iOS or Android it's a no go

                                      Huawei just trying show to the world they can made foldable phone.. and they don't care without 5G, old processor, GMS etc for 2K euros.

                                        Who want phone that make you nervous every time you put it in your pocket?

                                        I really like this design but it look only good on images... But because of delicate screen in real life such design is just bad idea.
