The flip hinge and the screen on these foldable phones are the most expensive parts.
How are you comparing them to super cars ? Never mind that Toyota dont have super cars as Supra s more as Sports Car then a Super Car. Same for the LFR

How many sports cars and super cars have they made over their history under their 2 brands Toyota ans Lexus?!
Supra - originally shared same platform and body as the Corolla.
Mr2 - 2nd generation most loved best design didn't last 15yrs (give or take) - no shared platform [expensive].
LC400/500 - just about 17yrs sells but limited production run n closely monitored makes sense as a Lexus luxury brand.
LFA - this car in it's time was phenomenal. This is the representation of pure innovation and engineering run wild!
^ same that so many complaints and cry about in smartphones like Samsung. It almost bankrupted the company and did NOT sell well. How many years of sales did that run? 5??
The last and current Supra is a shared platform ans is really a BMW 3 Series!!!! Less than 10yrs and the ONLY ability Toyota can design market and sell a sports car for a profit.
Again THE BIGGEST MANUFACTURERE AND SALES AND SHIPPING IN NUMBERS GLOBALLY!
Where do you think their profits revenues and investment income comes from?!
Corolla, Cammy, pathfinder etc all those have lasted over 50yrs
Cheap shared platforms parts design tools ans tooling to make and stamping. Highest profit least cost to make!
You're entire argument is proven false when it comes to cost and profits and R&D. The same formula used by Apple Samsung works for a reason. When Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi ships in those numbers globally you will see "innovation" crawl to a toddler pace. There is a reason called economics.
smaller manufacturers can have purpose built for much cheaper.

Anonymous, 01 Mar 2025As someone who's jerry rigged Quad Lock mounts onto my... moreHere is a limited mind!
1. Specialized innovated front handlebar neck shocks that Giant also uses for a few short years now. Samw can be done on top ranked handbag mounts. Polyurethane in different chemical compositions for compression & rebound variables can easily and cheaply be set to also withstand vibrationa.
2. The bike mount itself may be limited in points of mount BUT the case and secure connections to the mount and to the phone can have variable secure fastenings 3 is not the limit.
Of course all vi national cannot be subdued- physics - but it's well managed.
Lastly why do you think the bike is the ONLY way for this use?!
Chest over shoulder by traps mounts on clothing or harness or backpack straps or helmets (complet mounting drop in top faster makes stronger options.
Open your mind.

Love this concept! Built with a dedicated set of purposes in mind, something we've missed from the book foldable devices, like what problem do the solve or intended for? Jack of all trades is nice but what's the focus??

Why must bi-folding devices be called tri-folds? 2 hinges equals 2 folds. This device (and Huawei's) is tri-segmented. That said, looks like an interesting piece of tech!

We have Folds, Flips, Tri-Folds, and now Tri-Flips! Stay tuned for the Quad-fold! It opens up into a Movie Theater Screen! And the Quad-flip, which closes into a speck of dust!

You put that thing on a bike and the vibrations will destroy it from the inside out very very quickly
But besides durability (which would be zero -no pun intended- ), it's a very very cool concept

Flip is ok solution but 3 times fold is not something i understand the use of.
As the only one fold in flip is making the phone already compact enough.
The only problem is that it's still too expensive. There is either only flagship with really high price or there is these Infinix like brands that are small and not known and still too high price.
Well Xiaomi also started small but they started at the time when the touchscreen smartphones just got to market. Basically at the time where lots of electronics brands who made like computer hardware also step in the phone market cause of the touchscreen makes the phone more computer then a phone only.
Now it's harder to get the brand name known. Especially the likes as Infinix and Tecno that mostly make budget hardware phones that are not even bang for the buck. Xiaomi made bang for the buck and didnt make much profit out of the phones as they needed to build the brand. Now the price is higher on Xiaomi cause they have built the brand big to a point they also make electric cars. Well modern electric cars are basically smartphones with wheels and compartment space as rest is all electronics and large battery as even the electric engine is electronics cause it's fuel is electricity to work

Marketing a folding phone for olpretty rough outdoor activities is a strangely bold move. Not sure what to make of this, is infix too confident or too clueless for this.
Either way, I've never found folding phones interesting but this is a unique take.
