Why does everyone keep calling this thing a tri-fold when it only has two folds in it? It has two hinges, that's a bi-fold surely?

            That's just embarrassing for Samsung. They need a major overhaul of the design of the fold 7 or else people like me will start switching. Wake up Samsung!

              This 'article' feels like a "witchhunt" against the original foldable though.
              I think a fairer comparison would be to pitch the Mate XT against:
              * Galaxy Z Fold 6
              * Pixel 9 Fold Pro
              * OnePlus Open
              * Huawei Mate X3 (or other if outside of UK/EU)

              That way, you can compare the Mate XT against other Huawei products and others - it removes the bias... unless that's the point of the article...?

                It's a real shame that China is such a closed country as their technological advances are impressive and it highlighted just how lacking the world is by comparison.

                      Anonymous, 14 Sep 2024IMO, a phone that doesn't fold, is the best.I agreed when a foldable resulted in a stupid square display. Getting a tablet foldable is a bit different for me personally. But I don't like big tablets or big phones. So call me when I get a Pixel 9 sized phone unfolding into an 8" tablet.

                        All are bricks anyway. What matters the most for me are cameras. You can have similar thick bar phone and laugh how bad fold cameras are. This kind of design is very bad for sensor size, so I hope they bring something better.

                          Considering Netherlands was forced by US to stop exporting even DUV lithography machines, then It won't be that easy.

                            Helloo


                            If tech journalists start writing unbiased articles than I hope that all the debate will disappear and we clearly see that both Samsung and Apple think that consumers are dumb!!!

                            SAMSUNG AND APPLE ARE NOKIA OF THIS ERA..the kind of products they are offering and if they don't change their strategy I think in next 2-3 years Xiaomi, honor or Huawei will become the number one smartphone manufacturer of the world..

                            Both these giants are only recycling their old devices and labelling them as new and only new thing they bring every year is new flashy marketing slogans for already available tech in market just to make fool out of consumers.. There is nothing new you can expect from Samsung s25 in the same manner that you cannot expect anyhing new in the recently launched IPhone 16...I saw an article other day where someone was praising the colors of new iPhone...what a joke...so you pay usd1500 to 2000 for new colors...bravo and hats off to paid tech journalis....well done...

                                  Now, here's what's going to happen in the comments. Samsung fans will insist that the Korean company is much more diligent about robustness and durability when it comes to foldables, and that's why it seems like its last innovation in the space was actually the original Galaxy Fold from 2019. It's spent all this time improving the minutiae, making sure every single detail about its foldables is perfect.

                                    this could have been the greatest argument against it. Now let's see weight and battery performance.
                                    Of course the 3000 price tag will remain as a concern, but we will see if its worthy.
                                    Outstanding job from Huawei though to make it as thick as Samsung's bi-fold
