    I honestly think they should have used the moniker of "Galaxy Note" (a great branding, imho) for their folded phones, instead of retiring the name.

        Anonymous, 20 Sep 2024Surely it's a bi-fold phone and nott a tri-fold? There... moreNo, it's called that because of the three sections; just like men's tri-fold wallets. Two "hinges", but three sections.

              I just realized. The phone is so thin and the hinges are so tight that its impossible to make a smooth fold without the screen stretching, so they had to make the screen bulge a little when its unfolded. The sheer dimensions of the phone is just too extreme for a smooth screen without a stretchable screen around the hinges.

                Have you all lost the ability to count?
                This phone is a bifold phone. It has two hinges and it's impossible to fold it 3 times so it cannot be a trifold phone.

                  Nice phonr, but; We need Foldable Roll Screen phones... Two Fold or Tri Fold Phones have hollow in middle of screen. We need Pure Flat Screen. Only way is Roll Foldable Screen System...

                    I hate to be repetitious but the 'low sales' for small form factor phones is supposed to be the reason they aren't on the market; charts I've seen show anywhere from 25-15% of sales at their cancellation.
                    So what percent of the market is buying a $3000 bi-crease unit? We don't have a Huawei Hotline or Motorola Minimax with a 5.0 display and camera that isn't potato-grade because we've got to market (not sell) a fold up tablet that's going to sell 500 units? Just one major manufacturer, please, a non-foldable pocket size phone !

                        omg those creases are intense, just looking at them is giving me wrinkles

                          Sheswallow, 20 Sep 2024Battery life is probably gonna be awful, just look at honor... moreinteresting username lmao

                          anyways, i don't think i can judge it so fast, just yet. the magic v3 seems to have an especially inefficient inner screen with less optimization done for it it seems.

                          Also, this is an innovative piece of tech. Normal foldables already cost 2k usd. This has better cameras than the Z Fold6, already making it worthy of a higher price. I get that this is prohibitively expensive but innovative stuff is always expensive. Look at the RTX 2000 series cards, the super cars and hyper cars, etc.

                            jiyen235, 20 Sep 2024i just can't get over how beautiful the color is, zamn... moreBattery life is probably gonna be awful, just look at honor MV3. But I agree with the color. It's terrible that we have to pay the equivalent of an used car for a good looking, innovative smartphone.

                              Missed opportunity again

                              Why doesn't anyone use the tri -fold like a laptop

                              Look at this video of techno's concept tri fold @0:30 mark:

                              https://youtu.be/qxkNq49lqr8?si=asj_AfGNlDBRy9BB

                              This to me separates it utility wise from "duo folds"

                              Everyone is ONLY opening it like a book come on guys be innovative in it's usage too stop the typical standing and closing demonstrations.. it's bleeding edge tech show case it better

                                Darth Caesium, 20 Sep 2024Wait the display is only 90Hz? That's quite disappoint... more120hz is overrated. 90hz is still good.

                                  Darth Caesium, 20 Sep 2024Wait the display is only 90Hz? That's quite disappoint... moreI think this tech has been in the making for 1 year at least. I'd say it started out 3-4 years ago. Because back then Huawei had a 90 hz display on the Mate X2 and they last had a 90 hz flagship in the form of the mate 40 pro in 2020.

                                    taghack, 20 Sep 2024I would say about 8/10 amazing simply because it is unique.... moreYou missed sarcasm in my words. GSM Arena's score system is broken. They will glorify any crap from Apple and Google, but will tank down everything that does not bear these two names.

                                    GSM Arena are full of payola.

                                      Nice! something different, finally someone dare to do new things.

                                        Shamrock Sean, 20 Sep 2024Looks stupid this design although back looks nice I really ... morethen why are you in the comment thread? give away hater. this phone is the best phone on the market, no other OEM could dream to match Huawei's innovation or prowess right now.
