      This is fun to use but the handling and care level would be like taking care newbord chihuahua.Very fragile.
      One drop one hard surface would kill the screen.Unless u latch it always in your neck

        Just search "trifold brochure" to see what people mean by trifold.

          I have a mixed feeling about this GSMArena's review. Does the reviewer like it, or not? At first paragraph the comment was quite positive, but as you read on, there are a lot more complaints. Plenty of contradictions.

          Here's my question: If this were Apple's iPhone, would this be a revolutionary game-changer sort of review? Or is there certain amount of bias?

          Huawei has always been known for their camera capability, so don't have to doubt about it.

          To those who complain about the size and such, remember that this is a "first". And people did make the same comment about the very first Galaxy Note. Look at the sizes of phones these days, they are all bigger than that initial phone.

            Popeye1963, 20 Sep 2024Have you all lost the ability to count? This phone is a b... morethe third fold is in the fourth dimension, so you can't actually see it :P

              Popeye1963, 20 Sep 2024Have you all lost the ability to count? This phone is a b... moreI agree with you on the trifold-bifold terminology. However, I hope you made the same comment when Samsung came out with its first fold phone.

              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.

                        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 !

                                Surely it's a bi-fold phone and nott a tri-fold? There are only two hinges?

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

                                    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
