Kirin chipsets were on par with Snapdragon until they were denied access to TSMC.

I wouldn't mind a thicker phone if it lasted longer but i do understand why they did it, this is already on the verge of being unusable for many.

      But people glazed and supported the Z Fold5 and they called the original Z Fold a masterpiece. Yet they make fun of this phone's thickness. That's what irritates me the most tbh.

          YUKI93, 13 Mar 2025Not surprised with the 7h48m battery rating since the batte... morenot only that, but keep in mind that this device must've been in research/production for a little while so the display must be using 2+ year old tech. Not to mention the fact that the display is MASSIVE for such a relatively small battery. Samsung's Tab S9 is 11 inches and has a 8400 mah battery.

          Finally, the Kirin chipset is also a little icky lol imagine what they'd do with an 8 Elite tho!!!

            Over engineering device but it will lay the foundation for future devices.makers should start works to bring down the price of every foldable to below 1000$.

              Expensive toys for the super rich lol, but yeah I would love to buy one if i has the extra money

                  That profile shot of the display makes it look like an all-plastic display, the way it is warping everywhere. If I look at my Z Flip in that angle, the bits away from the crease are very uniform. If it is all-plastic, I have serious doubt that this phone has any longevity at all. Without the glass to keep it in place, it'll stretch and deform from basic use.

                    This is basically every Huawei phone review, meh performance, meh software but everything else is excellent.

                        Tensor has it's fine share of issues, but overall it depends in what it is good or not (google has their focus on few things, but overall Tensor is less versatile than Exynos)

                        But oh boy didn't expect Kirin 9010 to sink even lower, explains the abysmal battery life when unfolded (it would be bad anyhow, but with a more efficient chip it wouldn't be that bad)

                        Durability of folding phones is a thing I have issues with, but at least the more classic ones like Galaxy Fold or Vivo one are more protected when folded, and have a regular outer screen.

                        The design here makes both impossible, that combined with the makes makes this a phone for "a niche of a niche of a niche".

                        I wonder if this concept will ever be popular, time will tell when other companies try it too.

                          I'd say the mediocre display brightness is also a con. The whole reason for buying this is the novelty. Not sure what benefits from a tri-fold aspect ratio when it's unfolded, but this is a showpiece. Not particularly amazing in any one aspect except for photo quality.

                            This is not a 3-fold it is a 2-fold design, as everybody can see who has 1 eye in his head...
                            I really do not understand why they call it 3-fold because it is NOT....

If you look at all their previous standard two-fold phones review in this website, they all have TERRIBLE endurance, even when compared to the lower-capacity batteries of galaxy foldables. In other words, it’s either huawei's chips or perhaps their software version for foldable that is just as#

                                Not surprised with the 7h48m battery rating since the battery needs to deal with practically three screens at one time, unlike the book-style squarish foldable phones. I'm still a huge fan of this pocket tablet and I'd still love to buy one, but I'll wait until Huawei gives us a much-improved screen hinges and Kirin SoC in XT 2.
