If Apple had not sanctioned Huawei through the US government, today Apple would be just a memory like Nokia, Huawei is unique in innovation and respect for consumers.

    darkmax, 21 Sep 2024I agree with you on the trifold-bifold terminology. However... moreCompletely agree. It was very dumb of Samsung to retire the Note moniker. They have become everything Apple is and I hope Huawei steals both their spots or gives them a serious run for their money.

    We need Innovation and competition, not money-grabbing, soulless corporations!

      Go Huawei! Light up their lazy asses!

        SD Cardigan, 20 Sep 2024I hate to be repetitious but the 'low sales' for ... moreBROOOO they sold over 5 million units in 3 days of launching. they haven't even catered the new customers...
        these 5 million units are just the pre bookings ;-)
        just wait till it becomes available globally. samsung and other players will be literally slayed XD

              I find it ironic that people complain Samsung and Apple bring out the same boring phones every year with minor upgrades and tweaks, yet people criticise Huawei for bringing innovation and lighting a fire under Apple and Samsungs backsides.......

              The phone of course will be expensive but why wouldn't it be ? R&D costs etc have to be recooped.....

              Poeple complain about the creases....Do you not remember the Fold 1 or 2 or 3?? As development goes on the phones get better IF there is a demand .



                Reminds me of pencil cases from school days. Horrible looking creases and very soft screen contribute to that.

                  Ole, 21 Sep 2024I will wait for quad screen... LOL Just kidding. given time, i wouldn't be surprise to see 30inch foldable screen.

                        I doubt how practical such a foldable phone can be. I think a phone plus an ipad mini makes better sense.

                            Sam, 21 Sep 2024Obviously, if it were an Apple, reviewers would be gushing.... moreIt probably is possible to use it like a laptop with the bottom folded section as a keyboard in the upright position or paired with a bluetooth keyboard.

                                  Love how a lot of people are losing their mind over it being called a "tri-fold" 😂😂

                                    Their Vision Pro was cut so much slack. TheVerge gave the latest iPhone an 8.0, even while struggling to identifying anything over a 15, other than camera options that even they struggled to comprehend/use. And I think most people point/shoot with iPhones.

                                    And if was an Apple (or Google) phone, it would have that ecosystem of apps that I doubt this has. Audible? Instagram? And the zillion of less popular ones that we all use (e.g. Chase bikes in NYC).

                                    I always wonder what all those Apple engineers are doing. I "want" this phone. The split keyboard and the big display seem pretty wonderful. My 13 inch laptop perhaps truly could become optional. And watching Netflix on long plane trips on a phone is a drag.

I take reviews with a pinch of salt cause they can be biased a tiny bit sometimes. This is the exact foldable I have been waiting for to be honest. The perfect aspect ratio for video content folded and fully unfolded. I've owned Huawei's before and have great experience in many aspects including cameras, battery, display quality and general performance. I this if I had the kind of money for the asking price, I would get it even with short-comings (US ban - Google integration). I'd learn the work arounds. I love tech advancements and hate blind brand loyalty because that slows progress, manufacturers become lazy and see no rush and give silly incremental upgrades (wouldn't even call them that, same phone every year). Better chip.. oooh, brighter display.. oooh, tiny camera improvement.. oooh. But then one comes with radical form-factor change, 3 in 1 device... neh that's not exciting at all. What have we become, sheep / followers? I'm personally buzzing for this device....

                                        I agree that the reviewer appears to be confused by foldable phones.
