Huawei's tri-foldable phone hits global markets in a show of defiance amid US curbs
-
I was going to say the same thing a bifold wallet is two panels and one for, trifold is the panels and two folds
-
So is Aurora Store replacement for play store only? What about Security like android security which is core for vägning apps? I do want to get rid of Google things but email is essential and in dont want paltry GBs subs in have lit of emails. I am all for foss infact any utility which I search on play store I always try foss alternative but Gmail and maps are 1. Too good 2. Too much convenient 3. Highly accessible (e.g. with Google maps I can get local commute options which I highly dependent upon )
-
Trifold wallets fold twice, which also doesn't make sense, but it's probably where they got the name.
-
Don't we all haha, thanks for the feedback. I'm sold
-
Seconding the other guy's endorsement of the zflip. I got mine as a really cheap trade in upgrade thinking the folding was just a gimmick and now I'm pretty much always advocating for the thing. Hasn't been any less durable than any other phone I've had and though there's a very minor crease mostly from the protective panel, it's never been an issue.
-
Still a dumb concept.... just bring back classic flip phones. ffs
-
without Google's android, and in Western world you can't use it for banki g purposes due to lack of security
Weird how I can use this PC (Made in China) without needing no oversight from lel Google to access my bank without issue. Right?
-
Very very interesting, and stupid
-
I want to have a phone that I have to wrangle-fold like an old paper map
-
Which is weird, because where I am, most banks don't rely on Google services at all for this precise reason (and as a side effect my bank works perfectly on Graphene). Not all budget Chinese phones lack Google services of course, but Huawei and such are still a big chunk of the market.
-
Americans would still get confused. Refer to ⅓lb>¼lb burger, flopped because Muricans claim weird fraction math for length is superior....yet still cannot fraction their way out a wet paper bag....

I've got the Honor Magic V3, it's the 2 panel version of the OP device. I've had it for 6 months now, no complaints so far. I'm a stone mason, loooooots of super fine dusts of varying degrees of caustic. I got a slightly more robust case than what came with it, and I'm a bit more careful about what pocket I keep it in. I've dropped it over a dozen times, and mangled the hinge on one case already. But like you, I've had regular phones start failing around now, and this one is still fine. I feel like the first and 2nd gen foldables were where most of the kinks were worked out, and now they're only slightly more delicate in very specific ways compared to a regular slab phone.

Call me when the phone folds into an origami swan
-
I didn't know that, but yes, it would probably seem confusing to use different terminologies for essentially the same thing.
-
See, that's just it, I already do that with my standard phone... At this point, they're all basically phablets, Nexus 6 was right all along (although it still did it better, save for the weird speaker system...). Multi-window splits have also been a thing for a good while now, I honestly don't see the point for more screen on my pocket device... Heck, I even mainline it as a secondary PC, use it to have YT/movies in the background while doing stuff on the big dude.
-
Sso... like my already existing smartphone. Only larger.
-
3500 is a lot for a device with an always exposed, easily scratched display.
