        You have a very large device after a first fold you have a semi half phone or semi half tablet and after a second fold you get a basic bar phone.
        Where in the world you see a third thing to fold???
        Please educate me or please educate us.
        Those people are really blind and unable to use its brain correctly.

          Cpt.Power, 19 Sep 2024Actually i see a 3 separate phones folding on two hinges wh... moreIt's funny that they don't call normal foldabable phones dual-fold phones. If this phone is a tri-fold phone, the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra is a single-fold phone. It doesn't make any sense. GSMArena, to fold mean to bend over or double up. Don't you even know basic English?

            Actually i see a 3 separate phones folding on two hinges which makes this device double folding one not atripple folding one.
            Maybe a GSM Arena team sees there one more phone or screen we dont see.
            Or they going to call a 4 separate screen making a trifold phone calling a fourfold or 4fold???

                hmm, 18 Sep 2024hi, it's dual fold - not tri-fold, is all of guys wri... moreDon't expect much of GSMArena. Yes, it's a dual-fold device.

                  Anonymous, 18 Sep 2024This design is clever because it requires a single display.That scratches at level 0 with destroying marks at level 1.

                    GAMIR3DH, 18 Sep 2024Same as a glass phone. It gets scratched too.Yeah but glass screens not as easily with your fingernail where slave phones don't have that weakness.

                        hi,
                        it's dual fold - not tri-fold, is all of guys writing about this using "tri.." description can't really see..?

                            vrvly, 18 Sep 2024Great folding, great cameras, west gonna be left behind...If the majority doesn't used foldable phones. Why do you think the west is left behind? Knowing that foldables aren't durable.

                                Sounds like there are some interesting things going on. Next year the phones that haved been seen just by concept now will be realesed. Buttonless phone - Mix Alpha, Trio-Fold phone - Mix Trio-Fold

                                  how can they file a patent when the design is already used? or this is Chinese way to sue someone makes profit first?

                                    No surprise. Once Huawei does something Xiaomi is almost guaranteed to follow.

                                    Now the tri-fold

                                    They almost always follow Huawei's every move closely
