Comment on Huawei tr-fold review

  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?

    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.
