Does this allow sideloading APKs? What base AOSP does it have?

    Too small for a tablet, too big for a phone.

        My opinion is that this foldable form factor is far more useful and ergonomic, especially for video media consumption and text reading, than the current Fold and Flip s foldables of Samsung. Now if only Samsung gets onboard with it's software and close cooperation with Google and sells it globally, I am in 🙂

          It is only this year that we have the first changes because they started installing better batteries in these phones.

            When that happens, we will lose more than what we are doing to them now.

                Steve133947, 21 Mar 2025I'm a huawei lover and i think it looks stupidFor me, this is the best foldable phone on the market.
                From the beginning, this format seems to make the most sense to me, because when folded, the phone is half the size of normal one instead of what Samsung offers

                  This is literally just taking on Microsoft's Duo phone designs, but now with an outer display and a flexible inner display. Unsure how this is 'revolutionary'. It's barely evolutionary...

                          I really love the creative idea from Huawei
                          And I think the phone coukd be taller/wider to make the screen even bigger.
                          Perhaps the next version or another type

                                    Innovation after innovation.. I like how huawei still survives after the us sanctions

                                      I guess the golden ratio rule is true. This is an older aspect ratio but still pleasing and a breath of fresh air.

                                      Anything above 18:9 is terrible for a phone.

                                      I wanna see a 16:10 ratio candybar (non-foldable) phone with at least 6.8 inch diagonal. So versatile and easy on the eyes

                                        Interesting. Would love to handle it in person.
