can you post photos from your wife’s phone versus your modern phone?
Obviously my 4 times as expensive 9 year newer phone is superior. Especially in low light conditions.
Comment on Huawei tr-fold review
Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 month agoother companies made triple fold phones before Huawei, you mean that they brought it to the mass market first?
like 3,000 bucks or something right?
It’s difficult to call that innovation when we already have foldable phones, and they haven’t found a new way to do anything, they just added one more standard screen.
It’s as thick as three phones put together.
It’s good that they went up 50% in China, but it’s literally federally subsidized, so that’s not crazy, and they went from 20 to 30%?
it sounds like you have nostalgia for Huawei, which i get, I still have nostalgia for my HTC one, that was the best phone/os I ever had, and definitely the most innovative phone company I used, with front-facing speakers and an IR blaster, expandable storage, but they’ve gone the way of apple and Huawei and Google and the rest of them in modern times
“10 years ago Huawei was clearly THEE leader in design”
this is when I used Huawei, and my memories of it are pretty bad. pretty low power even for the time, pretty low battery, I don’t remember them leading anything.
I remember the pictures being standard, but I don’t remember anything remarkable or innovative about them.

other companies made triple fold phones before Huawei
Literally from the article:
Discovering the Worlds First Tri Fold
I haven’t seen one, and three separate screens don’t count, because that’s apples and oranges.

I saw the headlines, but I thought everybody knew Samsung and razor were making tri-fold phones before that, I think Huawei put it on the market.
I’ll check though.

first result is the Tecno trifold, and he’s talking about the Samsung trifold Z, which of course, it’s just one more screen, The natural evolution of folding phones to get to the tablet size.
I don’t think innovation is the word here.
innovation is a new idea resulting in some sort of paradigm shift or surprising development, not the logical progression of a known process like a foldable phone.
I’m glad Huawei is forcing other companies to develop better tri-fold phones so that eventually we have viable phone tablets.

He says “It’s gonna be…” these products do not exist.
he’s talking about the Samsung trifold Z
Doesn’t exist as far as I can tell. Maybe they couldn’t make it work?
techradar.com/…/the-worlds-first-tri-folding-phon…
The world’s first tri-folding phone could finally land soon – and not from Samsung
So no even if you may have seen it, those were not actual products, but development prototypes.
innovation is a new idea resulting in some sort of paradigm shift or surprising development, not the logical progression of a known process like a foldable phone.
That’s just childish, obviously you need technological innovation to make the idea possible. It’s easy to say “flying car”, and that has been done for a century, the innovation is to actually make it happen.
let me control my TVs and other devices with an IR blaster again please.
The Xiaomi 13T / 13T Pro have that.

It’s more childish to pretend huawei made the first trifold phone when they may the first commercial trifold phone.
they didn’t develop or innovate new technology to add one more fold.
“you need technological innovation to make the idea possible”
someone did, I hope you’ll notice that Huawei is not claiming to have developed some new innovation.
which makes sense, considering there are other companies that already made trifold phones.
they added one more fold to a phone using the established and developed technology of foldable screens, and have brought it to mass market first, that’s all.
there are no new features, no efficiency gains, certainly not cost effective, nothing is significantly different about this phone except that another screen and hinge has been added.
a third fold to reach true tablet size that people have been talking about and companies have been developing for years is a logical development in foldable phones and foldable screens, established technologies, not innovation.
I hope people enjoy it (for that price tag they better), and I hope it spurs development in the field.

t’s difficult to call that innovation when we already have foldable phones,
It’s not the idea that’s innovation, it’s developing the technology that folds both ways seamlessly and is durable.
Just because an idea is easy to get, doesn’t mean it’s easy to make. Ideas are easy, it’s making them work that is hard.
And I’m not aware of a phone that existed previously that could do this and fold out to a single 10 inch screen.
Even if it already existed, this is apparently the first good one.

This was clearly the most innovative Android phone at the time.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 month ago
It was… minus the battery failures after a year or so of use. The 6P was supposed to be their foot in the NA market, and they fucked it. Mine failed, family members’ failed, friends failed. The LG was no better for that year, something about a mobo shorting after X amount of time with the 5X. Again, family members’ had them, failed.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Never heard about that, here (EU) it would be under warranty though.
wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Stateside you get a 1y warranty from G, this hasn’t changed since they started the nexus (pixel) program. So when mine shit the bed, I was sol.

innovative?
isn’t that the Google phone?
it has slightly upgraded specs from the HTC one, but the One came out 2 years previous, with truly innovative features like front-facing speakers so that you could hear the audio clearly and an IR blaster, plus it had self-diagnostics so that you could test a second hand phone before you bought it or troubleshoot yours very easily with the series of diagnostic tasks.
what’s the innovative part of the 6p?
ooh, I do like that the Nexus adopted the front-facing speakers and aluminum body from HTC One, that was a smart move.
not innovative 2 years later after those features were developed, but definitely a smart move by a hopeful company.
a slightly weaker battery, but 2 years after the HTC One, I would have been interested in the 6P as the logical next step; add 1 GB of RAM, add the new bands, slightly higher ppi.
I was disappointed when the M8 went backward with PPI, HTC one had 468 in 2013, new huawei phones in 2024 have 402 ppi.
that’s rough stuff, all the companies are doing it too, skimping out on screens in favor of shitty proprietary software.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 month ago
WHAT? It’s a Huawei phone adopted by Google, and marketed and sold by google with Googles update plan for Android.
www.gsmarena.com/huawei_nexus_6p-review-1355.php
This phone was widely praised for innovation, the build quality and camera quality, the rear fingerprint sensor. I’m shocked you don’t even remember…?
