Good joke mate. The Infinix tri-fold was a mere prototype while this is a fully fledged product. Samsung isn't close to making something like this.

                Btw they were on par in CPU only, they were half a generation to 2 generations behind in GPU. Ofc, if Huawei perhaps partnered with Mediatek they'd have made chips as efficient as Apple by now i think but oh well, ig in another universe.

Infinix just released a concept phone that tri-folds vertically, and why should Apple try to make a foldable when foldables still have so many faults they do not really "deserve" the iPhone brand? besides, who needs a tri-fold phone? even normal foldables (aside from the ones that "folds" like flip phones of yore) are quite hard to justify purchasing....
                  and Samsung literally could pull off the same tri-fold thing with more refinement (they literally kickstarted foldable phones after all), but their chaebols just like to stick their heads in the sand for more money and control over the South Korean government.
                  plus, have you seen the durability tests JerryRigEverything has done on the Huawei phone? the phone is just incredibly fragile....

                    Those 50MP full resolution images are of really high quality. Damn. Impressive.

                      Anonymous, 13 Mar 2025Can you suggest a way of unfolding into a larger display wi... moreI cannot, but then adding extra hinges just to achieve said result wouldn't be my suggestion to begin with. First I'd be asking what actual value there is to larger form factor foldables, beyond the current market standards. Second, how might that be achieved without just adding more second hinges and thus exasperating the compromises already present in the foldable category.

                      See, you don't seem to get it, just adding in extra hinges before solving for those compromises, isn't marvel level engineering. Show me a 'tri-fold that has a better quality, tougher display, equal or increased battery life and no creases, all at a cost that isn't double the current market standard, then we'll talk. Even if I'll still not be personally sure of the exact use case, I would at least consider that 'Marvel Engineering'.

                          After all extra hinges will mean and even bigger and therefore less compromised tablet sizes 🤷‍♂️

                            Would you really pay a car's worth of money for a tablet with a mid range phones performance?

                              Yes, the larger tablet and not the "compromised" smaller tablet form factor. If anything is compromised, it's the 2 display tablet size.

                                Actually, I think you are a little to inclined to believe that is the case, which would suggest a strong bias towards Huawei. let's try to leave Fanboyism out of this shall we?

                                What extra form factor? It can fold out to become a tablet, and then again to be a slightly bigger tablet. Doing so though comes at the expanse of an extra crease in the screen, reduced battery life, weaker overall durability and a vastly higher cost.

                                If that floats your boat dude, then by all means, go nuts 🤷‍♂️

                                  The advancement is the extra form factor it can unfold into. Do you see any other phone manufacturer with a similar product? Samsung can't make a foldable with similar thinness and Apple can't make a foldable at all. You simply can't accept that Huawei is the only phone maker with the capability of producing such a product.

                                    I agree its adopters will be those willing to pay the premium though, in fact that would seem rather obvious 🤷‍♂️
