        the question is... ˋs the point on having such phone? If someone is willing to pay then he should consult a physiatrist for good.

        v2 version should have, better peformance, bigger battery like 6500 mah, better connectivity bt 6.0, wifi 7, faster charging like 90w. Titanium frame maybe? And then the foldable tablet can become the best phone in the world.

This phone is not for use, it is influencer trash, and I am not surprised to see it being "reviewed" at this place.

                Only you don't realise that innovation is dead at Apple and Samsung and the only way they can sell anything is by smearing their competitors' products and banning the competition in their protected markets.

Even those "$4000" MacBook Pros bring you quite comparable performance to desktops with the best processors and graphics cards out there, and while on battery, even! (at least for professional workloads, like what people who make animated films in Pixar or Disney do).

                  And, while I really hate to admit it, 200 USD for more RAM on those MacBooks is... understandable, since the RAM is embedded within the CPU, making RAM upgrades more expensive. Still annoying though, I'd rather buy a Windows laptop with upgradable RAM, but those MacBooks have really great on-battery performance and battery life (just like a phone)...

                  Again, all new tech (and no, it's not just adding an extra screen and hinge, absolute ignorance I've not seen for a while tbh) has this issue, again the 1st foldables were breaking because people were peeling a film off that was actually the screen, isn't an issue now is it.

                  If you don't try and design new things then you won't ever see advances in the product/industry. Do you think they just glue an extra screen, go "we just need 1 more hinge here" rub their hands together and go "all done". Nope. You need some of the smartest engineers working months or years to figure out how to make this work and actually be a useable product, which from now we will see more companies put more money in to this tech, and yes it's tech, it's redesigning screens being able to fold and hold pressures, tens if not hundreds of thousands of times without failure, actual RnD to redesign these things, how the internals work in such constraints, able to meet worldwide regulations so you can have a good enough battery but not have issues with air pressures like on planes as just a few difficulties they'll come across even just having an extra screen with extra failure points like hinges, glass and heat (and again the screens able to handle the pressures and bends).

                  I don't think you quite understand engineering or the sciences needed to make this happen (like the 1st foldables and all screen flip phones).

Plus, it costs mo... moreYou can't compare the price for a tablet and a phone that fits in your pocket with a regular phone and tablet. All consumer products are not for EVERYONE! It's done the problem solving too, what would you ever do to need a square screen on foldable? I can't find any proper use except for reading books. but this...? you know.

                      Tell me, other than an extra hinge and thus the ability to fold twice what major step forward does the Mate XT represent?

                      It's just a foldable that is a bit more foldable, but for twice the cost.

                      Ignorance may be bliss, but a daft comment is just that 🤷‍♂️

                        DaFink, 13 Mar 2025I cannot, but then adding extra hinges just to achieve said... moreIt's a 1st gen product stop going on. Happened with Samsung and their 1st foldable, the 1st full screen flip phones had multiple limitations while paying more for less performance. All were awful devices that had literal hardware and software issues non stop, look where foldables and flip are now. Not the same for.

                        Had with SoCs, the 808 and 810 that were the 1st android SoCs that were 64 bit and I think went to deca/octa core, had terrible issues but again, happens with tech thats got new changes.

                        Also forget when Google went to there own/Samsung made SoC etc and how the pixel 6 series were for beta testers basically.

                        Same with Bluetooth headphones and other peripherals like mice, keyboards etc, 1st gen of the products usually suck and after advancements with that new tech over years they become cheaper and better and other companies then invest in it, really really simple to understand matey.

(People forget to buy a stand for an imax pro or whatever it is was $999 or how about new MacBook pros that are $4000, how about paying $200 for an extra 8gb of ram)

                            This has happened throughout history with tech, I had a 1080p 3d TV that cost 1.3k, ssds used to be £100+ for 128gb 10+ years ago, now it's what, £15? When we went from crt TVs to LCD it was expensive, when we went to 720p TVs it was expensive ... It's what happens with new tech (able to mass build a device with new tech). I bet they barely making a profit as well with the amount of RnD that went it to this device .

                            Ignorance is bliss I guess

It certainly wasn’t because they couldn’t. I feel this is part PR stunt as well, to get attention for a brand that has fallen. Other Chinese brands make superior foldables.

                                  and Samsung could've done it earlier (seeing as they were one of the brands that kickstarted the foldable trend (if not the literal only one)), but they instead would like to miss opportunities just for money and AI. And the South Korean government, that too. If it weren't for the chaebols, Samsung would've continued to make phones that feel fresh and good to use.
