LOVE PENGUIN, 09 Aug 2024It folds to smaller but thicker phone I imagine. Honor Magi... moreSounds nice and thin... but can you use it one handed? Will it fit length-wise in your pocket?

Folding phones and small-ish form factor phones are going to have different audiences, I think. I also think any innovation in any direction is great if it zaps the industry out of the sleepwalking 6.7in glass slab phase its in. I don't see a return to a well equipped 5in phone being a step backwards any more than I see more screen space for the sake of it especially innovative.

    selago, 09 Aug 2024What a shame Huawei don't have Google. Their stuff is ... moreCurrent Harmony OS 3-4.2 is equivalent to android 12.

    App issue partially mitigated by microg and Aurora store. Latter is a Playstore front end which happens to be popular to custom rom users.

    And no, android will be purged from Huawei in the following years due to US bullying. Free trade is good but not when US is on the losing side lmao.

      Now that's a cool flex for a CEO of a tech company, I wonder what other cool toys he gets to use. Just shame it's taking so long to get anything like this released in the market, can't imagine the price of this thing 🤑

          NLS, 09 Aug 2024You obviously haven't seen rollable prototypes. yea but the rollables not that viable.
          To stretch out is ok and you don't have creases but the screen are more easily to crack than folding.

              We can get a 10 inch folding display tablet phone but not a 5in display phone you can use with one hand and fits in your pocket FFS

              Still appreciate many innovations but please

                      It's a t.bi fold device - it has 2 folds not 3. How can such a widely known and respected web site like GSMarena not be able to count ?? How can we trust anything you say from now on if you cant count ??

                        Does it weigh and feel like a brick when folded?

                          xuehuabingyu, 09 Aug 2024Huh? Huawei mobiles are all Android based. What do you mean... moreAndroid APKs reportedly don't work on Their newest OS , I don't remember the name of it.

                          They work on Harmony OS, that supposedly is android 10.

                            man used a Mate X5 to get a fold of the next Tri-Fold that's kinda badass ngl

                            And if there are 10" foldables and they're 80% as good as the Mix Fold 4, Find N3/Open or the X Fold3, I'm getting one fr I literally will run out and buy one. Add a stylus in and you get something that can get me into designing stuff or sculpting stuff as a hobby. AI can't make a 7.6" display bigger ;)

                            I just am not a fan of Huawei's photography/videography approach after the Mate 40 series. The Mate 40 was peak Huawei, then they just became dxomark shills and try to just get higher scores there. If people like it then more power to them but I miss the Huawei that was easily likeable by both enthusiasts and average folk. The artificial "pop"-ey look of the new Huawei phones is reminiscent of 2018 AI generated stuff or something

                              Iphone 15pro user, 09 Aug 2024Yeah these folding phones cool technology cant deny but wha... moreu get back to this comment in several year s time where
                              tri folding has become more common from more people
                              by then can ask those who had purchased these things

                              ?

                                Of course he's using it because he's the chairman. I wish I could use it too. I love Huawei for tablets. Their tablets (not high ends) are very light and it's the best to read ebooks.

                                  Dannnnn, 09 Aug 2024Who cares about Huawei? They don't even have Android. ... moreHuh? Huawei mobiles are all Android based. What do you mean they don't even have Android?

Spent all that money and R&D but I could not even buy it in Aus/EU as its North America only lol, how silly is that, no wonder they went out of business. Samsung on the other hand is like a dinosaur these days, look at Fold6, hardly any Major change after 3 years, just kept flogging the same old dead horse and they wonder why they gone from the 1st to last position in Foldables in China, every other chinese Foldable surpassed its hardware and design, Oneplus, Honor, Huawei, Vivo, Xiaomi market share went from over 40% to less than 2% what a joke. Either just copy and paste from old model or just copy Apple designs, No wonder their chairman is fuming at their mobile division, should just replace Roh!
                                        So boring Z Fold6.....yawnnnnn :((
                                        They never gave me a good reason to upgrade from Z fold 4 lol, refusing to take my money!
