Xiaomi is also working on a tri-fold phone
We might see the new device in February at MWC 2025. Huawei is developing a triple-folding smartphone, but it's not the only company doing so. A tipster...
I think the tech is still kinda pricey, but imagine having a phone, table, and then full computer when docked to a keyboard and mouse in one device.
That’s the dream.
I’d even be happy with the phone/full computer combo.
Except I would HATE 1. having the full computer use the Android OS (or ios) 2. Not having full access (administrative / root) rights on my computer, for some vague security handwaving.
We'll probably get there in 10-15 years (as in at mainstream, mass market prices).
This is going to be like Gillette razors right?
Sounds cool but most of the folding phones I have seen are as thick as 2 phones stacked when folded. If this is now 3 phones thick I think it looses some portability unless you put new pockets on your pants.
It looks a little thick but not insanely so, judging by the photo in the article.
For me it looks thin enough when unfolded that I'd be worried about breaking it if I hold it wrong.
We are getting close to the devices from Westworld!
I look forward to the point a screen can be balled up like a piece of paper

Well, most flagship mobile screens are already flexible. It's the rest of the components that is the issue 😄
"Paper can only fold 7 times; can phones fold more?"
WTF
They were so concerned about whether they could that they didn't stop to think if they should.
