this reeks of desperation. but who am i to dismiss these innovations from chÖngnistan, the land of originality and top quality stuff

    Technologist, 22 Aug 2024Yes but this not a new technology or innovation to ask more... moreWell there MIGHT be new tech in here, IF it is Z fold ONLY and the two ends are kept parallel with some mechanism between the two hinges, then the middle part of the display might be sliding, using simpler hinges.
    (A little hard for me to describe in words, but try taking a stack of paper with a firm grip in the ends, and move it into an S-shape)

    OR if one of the hinges is a double-one, so it can fold both as a "Z" and as an "e". That would be new stuff too.

    BUT it might be that it is 'just' an inwards and outwards folding phone combined with known technology.

    ...We will soon know.

        Technologist, 22 Aug 2024Yes but this not a new technology or innovation to ask more... moreIf not something new, Samsung or Xiaomi should sell many years ago. The challenge is in softwares, because tri-fold no secondary screen, use same screen when in phone mode and tablet mode. Although different hinges with different mechanism, when unfold should work together.

          Of course not a new thing. TCL already developed all kinds of foldable and rollable screens years ago. But they haven't even polished the regular foldable phones (most of them end with dead pixels in two-three years) and they are launching this. Oh, well. Good luck selling them.

            EskeRahn, 22 Aug 2024(But strictly it is new to see one inwards and one outwards... moreYes but this not a new technology or innovation to ask more money for it.

              Technologist, 22 Aug 2024Not both hinges will be folded inward and outward. One will... more(But strictly it is new to see one inwards and one outwards folding combined in one device)

                Zaini, 22 Aug 2024This foldable can inward and outward. Recent foldable only ... moreNot both hinges will be folded inward and outward. One will be inward and other one will be outward. So nothing new. Both types of hinges are already many years old.

                  When this tech comes down in price, it will be possible to not just use it for making a phablet unfold to a tablet, like we see here (6" and 10½" ??), but also to make a compact phone that unfolds to a large phablet. Say 4.5" folded and 8" unfolded

                  (Assuming that the screen is roughly 16:9 both opened and closed, the ratio between the fully opened and closed diagonals is roughly 7:4)

                    Vin Aigre, 21 Aug 2024Is it not a double fold device? I'm asking for a friend.Well If we are lucky it is not just a Z fold device with two hinges.
                    It just MIGHT be there are actually three hinges, that is that one side is a double hinge, allowing it to fold either like a Z or close in on it self, like an "e", to protect the fragile screen.
                    (I doubt it but would be awesome)

                              Want one. Finally combined phone and tablet into one

                                Anonymous, 21 Aug 2024I'd rather add 1000 more and buy a really powerful lap... moreYou don’t need to add $1000 more! If it costs more than $2000 you can already get a great laptop with this price.

                                  Zaini, 21 Aug 2024First foldable technology also not cheap.There is no new technology! The foldable (flexible) displays are more than 5 years old. This one has just bigger display and double hinges instead of one hinge.
