Xiaomi is also working on a tri-fold phone

26 August 2024
We might see the new device in February at MWC 2025.

YUKI93, 26 Aug 2024Me too. With LG no longer in the smartphone market, it'... moreRollable not user friendly. With today's smartphone near 7 inchi, when roll to side only add some cm is useless, differ from foldable when unfold. Same case with lg wing and g flex.

      Wouldn't 3 folds make it rather thick?

        PanRT, 26 Aug 2024Why no rollable? I Wait on rollable.Me too. With LG no longer in the smartphone market, it's up to other smartphone OEM to take the baton and continue the development for rollable screen.

          I get the point on why Huawei and Xiaomi are working on a tri-fold phone since it can give a large tablet screen size with a more normal aspect ratio. But still, I can't always help but think that LG still get the right idea with rollable screen. There's no need to worry on having two screen creases when it's possible to have a seamless screen transformation as LG has already proved years ago.

            All Huawei phones are unusable except China so, hopes to see Xiaomi put more effort on this.

                They should consider Redmi 11 Prime Tri fold

And people who complain about the price don't understand that usually the best features from the best phones go down to lesser phones as well and if demand is high enough we get lesser options for those types of phones. In display fingerprint scanners being a prime example.

                    I always thought a Z-shaped folding device made a lot of sense.

                    Instead of having 2 screens, of which you only use one at a time, have 1 big screen and just use 1/3 or all of it. Also, the full screen size would actually rival tablets properly.

                            we need more companies working on experimental stuff like this and see which sticks. We got foldables out of companies always experimenting, we got bezel-less modern day screens out of companies experimenting, heck I'd say we got smartphones out of experimentation. The original iPhone was the same as a Vision Pro, another type of product that Apple wants to tap into. Hopefully we get some kind of "reasonable" tri fold that's big but costs around the same as normal folds. That'll lead to normal foldables being cheaper and would push flip phones to be as cheap as a base iPhone or a base Pixel/Samsung. That'd be cool if companies create a new market segment and it's genuinely good.

                              I'm sure that Samsung also working on something similar. At the end, they phones have Z in name, because they bend in two places...

                                    Shouldn't it be called as "Bi-Fold" Device ? I mean it is folding two times with Three Displays side.
