I've been asking for this for 10 years. 👍🏾 This is what I envisioned when I first saw the Galaxy x foldables. The tri-fold design brings the laptop mode that I've been wanting for my phone... With one screen on the table and two in the air, it needs a kickstand, and you can use it as a small laptop. I even thought that it may be the end of the mechanical keyboard for laptops, the way new phone designs got rid of the mechanical keyboard for phones.
@@Dazza2292 Right, but that's what we said about phone keyboards for years. Heck, that's what I said about phone keyboards for years... I don't have a mechanical keyboard on my phone, anymore...
@@anyadike phones are a slightly different device to a laptop or computer, in an office or daily work environment a touch keyboard is a hinderence. Phones are touchscreen yes but it works on them as it's a totally different device in a sense.

It took a few years- but it looks like foldable designs have reached perfection. All that’s left is to keep making screens as durable to abuse as normal glass flagship phones.
THIS IS MADNESS.. but we are so loving it.. thank you Huawei for always pushing the boundaries.. while company like Apple shipping AI next year.. hmmmmmm.. but still people keep buying them..
because its not Chinese CCP ....because its not 3grand....because it actually runs a real OS not hobbled by china....because nobody wants a trifold and nobody gives a crap. It's literally 1% of the market.
I have a Fold 5 and had a Fold 2, got them both discounted and as cool as they are to me they weren't worth the MSRP. The Fold 6 especially isn't worth MSRP, but if this thing came to the EU for like 2500 euros I would almost too happily pay full price. This is maybe peak phone hardware up until now
I went the other way with a heavily discounted refurbished Z flip 5. The ergonomics of using the cover screen half the time, and unfold it as needed, beats the book-style foldables as the squared aspect ratio when unfolded doesn't provide a real advantage watching widescreen content or in immersion in racing games with the FOV. This phone changes that, and if something like this comes out with the promise of long-term software support and is proving to be close to as durable as my Z flip 5 by 2027, I will pay a lot of money for it.
I want move to Fold 6 after use iPhone 14 pro max. But Huawei look awesome but in my country price are $6550 that crazy, unrealistic price. I don't want buy it, I looking Fold 6 now. Forget about Huawei
I have the fold 6 and honestly I wouldn't trade it for this Huawei. Don't get me wrong I love the innovation, but there's no way that folded screen on the front and side will last in the outside world.
It’s laughable to think about the fact that Apple wants to compete with Huawei in China or globally nowadays. Huawei is just more innovative. I’m an Apple fanboy and will still use the iPhone but we are missing out on the foldable phone innovations.
Apple wont sell an iPhone they know wont sell hundreds of millions of like they always do with current iPhones Especially with current folding display being so easily scratched with just a fingernail, that would be a very expensive repair and replacement nightmare for that many phones needing screens replaced
@@bryanmiller476 Apple likes to use mature technologies for sure but on the other hand, if they want to make a scratch-free display, it is still possible given the large amount of resources in their position. They actually did this for the original iPhone display which was not scratch resistant in the beginning. The recent OLED iPad was another example of Apple capable of improving the current OLED technology to make it brighter. At the end of the day, it's all about how to allocate economic and engineering resource to balance innovation and supporting the current product line. Clearly, Apple, made the mistake on the Apple car project, and many people have forgot about Vision Pro (imagine Apple use the funding for these two products on a foldable iPhone). I am very bullish on Apple Intelligence so we still have hope!
@@LV2355 That's rich considering they already have the best foldable on the market period. And it's already less than the Samsung fold outside of china. Your talking non-sense
yeah they should launch this as honor, harmonyos just wont work outside china with their future iterations leaving android altogether. though it having the soft screen as an outer is a durability nightmare to me
What would be cool was for this to be a standalone, battery powered foldable display cable of running something like Samsung Dex wireless for when you need a bigger screen. But all the data and processing power remains on your phone where all the important stuff is. I don't think people will want to carry around something as bulky all the time.
because the plastic screen is exposed to outside, it needs some sort of folio cover, or triple screen protector... thats the only way I would consider something like this... oh yeah and the price is just eyewatering
Only concern is the delicate screen scuffing, banging on an edge or dropping it on hard surface since there is no protection for any of these scenarios. It's like a super no no for a clumsy user.
Samsung abandoned the outward folding display concept for a reason. Exposing the delicate soft plastic display poses a significant risk, potentially leading to costly repairs. Moreover, numerous videos from China show the tri-fold display being damaged straight out of the box, suggesting that other manufacturers have avoided outward folding smartphones for similar concerns.
Super cool to see more content about this device, been wanting a device like this for so long. Definitely some refinements still needed and curious if there's stylus support or desktop mode?
I still maintain rollable screen is the way to go for true pocketable tablet, but this is a great start. Huawei literally made squarish foldable screens redundant and irrelevant.
I love my fold but ive struggled on the go using it as a PC for when i run windows emulation. This with a Bluetooth leyboard and mouse might ACTUALLY be the netbook of the future!! Oh my god this with a Dex like feature would be killer!!!
you don't even need a Dex-like-feature. Huawei's harmony OS has a special emulator layer that they can migrate some Linux version apps and runs them directly in the system, supporting all the keyboards and mouse interactions. I purchased a Huawei tablet last month, and there are already some "PC version" of apps they listed there, I looked into 2 of them, one is WPS (China's MS Office), another is a CAD app. you can directly run them, full screen or in a window, no need to transit between phone mode & dex mode. it's kinda funny that since WPS also has a mobile version, so you can run the mobile WPS and Linux WPS side by side at the same time. however, seems like there's still some migration and test work need to be done, so the "PC apps" list is still kinda short, but yeah, at this point, you start to realize that harmony OS isn't Android. it's much more than that.
Honestly the best part of this phone is knowing in 6 years there will be a whole market of well-developed triple fold devices that are more affordable. Someone had to go ahead and dive in, take the risk on this clearly luxury, highest-end smartphone that will only sell to a niche market. I hate to shill corporations since they often abuse workers (or their supply chain does), but this is undeniably impressiv. If all the apps were customized to fit the screen ratios properly, it would be breathtaking. A phone that can turn into a proper tablet is like a dream.
Suffers the same problem as the first huawei fold that had an outer fold screen vs an inner fold screen. As novel of a concept as this is, it'll never get mainstream appeal
Tri Fold phones are entirely different device with much more flexibility and productivity than the book type foldables. This is the proper and maximized implementation of foldable phones. God Bless Us!
It should be "illegal" to talk about phone thickness without the camera bump. The Huawei looks good. But that is the biggest camera bump I've ever seen. With it, it's double the thickness of other fold phones.
People seem to forget how "durable" a folding screen is. Imagine having that in the front and side when closed. 💀 Can't easily fit a case and can't put tempered glass either. Repair costs 📈📈📈
Finally, the only video I've seen of this phone where they actually correctly call it a "dual folding" phone. Everyone else keeps incorrectly calling it a "tri fold" which it isn't.
That's not correct though. The trifold terminology comes from wallets. A wallet that folds in 2 places with 3 panels is called a trifold wallet. This is despite the fact that it only folds 2 times. The tri in trifold comes from the number of panels. In other words everyone else is correct and this guy is the only one who is wrong.
Cool concept, but durability certainly is concerning here. Maybe in 4-5 years they come up with a breakthrough technology to protect folding screen, for now I'm still skeptical on the regular fold design, and those phones are tanks in comparison to this, with their conventional outside screen.
The crease on foldable phones is a real deal breaker for me. And this guy is no exception. Add to that the lack of durability, the lack of battery life, the lack of screen protection and the cost and I would not touch this with a 10 ft pole. 😁
I won't lie. I originally said to myself, "This phone is doing too much." But that screen real estate would be an upgrade from the Z Fold 6 for productivity. But the always-exposed hinge scares me off a bit.
What is not mentioned in the review is that this Huawei phone has built-in advanced AI functions, such as editing photos. If all goes as planned, the iPhone 16's advanced AI will come later as an update.
The semi holy grail. That's the form factor foldables should be. However still couldn't have one as much as I would like. As they're still to fragile for my clumsyness. something I expected would get better year on year, but they still seem so fragile, I hope that it does improve.
I think, until/unless they are able to make decent thin cameras, foldables should be considered "foldable tablets WITH PHONES" and skip the elaborate camera array just as tablets do. I'm a big foldable user and would give up a good camera for a good tri-fold.
They have already worried once before when Huawei was outselling them before the banned. Even with Huawei sanctioned, if Apple and Samsung still have to worry, it means - Huawei is much ahead.
I think tri-fold is what foldables should have been, that screen size after unfold is the closest to a tablet screen. Kudos to Huawei i cant wait to see the improvements they'll do in the upcoming generations
Don't forget sam sucks gonna bite off them now and other companies
also don't forget it still has dual mode, just like other dual fold screens.

Watching this on my OG Pixel Fold gets me excited for what could come in the future. If Google makes a tri-fold, I'll definitely buy it
Great video and really great phone! I would love to use that one every day.
This needs a very good case. I am very careful with my bar phone but still wouldn't want this without a durable case. Hope they ship it with one.
I love my fold but ive struggled on the go using it as a PC for when i run windows emulation. This with a Bluetooth leyboard and mouse might ACTUALLY be the netbook of the future!! Oh my god this with a Dex like feature would be killer!!!
you don't even need a Dex-like-feature.
Huawei's harmony OS has a special emulator layer that they can migrate some Linux version apps and runs them directly in the system, supporting all the keyboards and mouse interactions.
I purchased a Huawei tablet last month, and there are already some "PC version" of apps they listed there, I looked into 2 of them, one is WPS (China's MS Office), another is a CAD app. you can directly run them, full screen or in a window, no need to transit between phone mode & dex mode.
it's kinda funny that since WPS also has a mobile version, so you can run the mobile WPS and Linux WPS side by side at the same time.
however, seems like there's still some migration and test work need to be done, so the "PC apps" list is still kinda short, but yeah, at this point, you start to realize that harmony OS isn't Android. it's much more than that.
@@zsydeepsky2 If you could install any Linux program manually that would be great at least for people with good tech skills
Honestly the best part of this phone is knowing in 6 years there will be a whole market of well-developed triple fold devices that are more affordable. Someone had to go ahead and dive in, take the risk on this clearly luxury, highest-end smartphone that will only sell to a niche market. I hate to shill corporations since they often abuse workers (or their supply chain does), but this is undeniably impressiv. If all the apps were customized to fit the screen ratios properly, it would be breathtaking. A phone that can turn into a proper tablet is like a dream.
The phone looks good!! I'd buy it
It's a breath of fresh air to have a product that's not spammed with the words "AI" in every sentence
Suffers the same problem as the first huawei fold that had an outer fold screen vs an inner fold screen. As novel of a concept as this is, it'll never get mainstream appeal
7 million pre orders...
@@nasafake1 you can pre-order by putting in a nominal amount, you don't need to pay the full amount
Tri Fold phones are entirely different device with much more flexibility and productivity than the book type foldables. This is the proper and maximized implementation of foldable phones. God Bless Us!
I never heard of any problems from mate X
@@MST3.5 how many people you know have mate x?
0:58 The Real "Z Fold" Smartphone 😂
This phone is straight beautiful
the thickness of that camera needs to be included.... the next iterations will be stellar
It's like Mt. Vesubius rising from the back of that thing.
It should be "illegal" to talk about phone thickness without the camera bump. The Huawei looks good. But that is the biggest camera bump I've ever seen. With it, it's double the thickness of other fold phones.
People seem to forget how "durable" a folding screen is. Imagine having that in the front and side when closed. 💀 Can't easily fit a case and can't put tempered glass either. Repair costs 📈📈📈
Finally, the only video I've seen of this phone where they actually correctly call it a "dual folding" phone. Everyone else keeps incorrectly calling it a "tri fold" which it isn't.
That's not correct though. The trifold terminology comes from wallets. A wallet that folds in 2 places with 3 panels is called a trifold wallet. This is despite the fact that it only folds 2 times. The tri in trifold comes from the number of panels.
In other words everyone else is correct and this guy is the only one who is wrong.
'Triple folding' refers to three screens, not folding them three times,bor
@@梁天-i2h I know what it’s referring to, but it’s still wrong terminology. Tri panel would make more sense, tri fold does not.
Ironically, calling it "dual folding" can be misleading even though technically it is correct.
@@fancyleaf yeah it’s strange. With this logic, every regular slab phone is a mono fold.
Cool concept, but durability certainly is concerning here. Maybe in 4-5 years they come up with a breakthrough technology to protect folding screen, for now I'm still skeptical on the regular fold design, and those phones are tanks in comparison to this, with their conventional outside screen.
Huawei (Internet of Everything)
Samsung / Google / Honor: “we’re on it!”
Apple: “why would you want a tri fold when you now have funky coloured icons in iOS18?”
Got about 5 years before this technology is ready for the masses.
but when this tech becomes cheap to make it will be GLORIOUS
The crease on foldable phones is a real deal breaker for me. And this guy is no exception. Add to that the lack of durability, the lack of battery life, the lack of screen protection and the cost and I would not touch this with a 10 ft pole. 😁
折痕是无可避免的，但是并不会影响使用。你觉得明显，是因为光线原因，你应该去看一看真实的折叠手机。
SNAP!
probably in seconds.
That about sums up my feeling about this expensive eggshell thin chinaware.
Thats crazy!! 6M preorders?!
$16B waiting and thats just china
Wow

Magnificent
👑 Huawei 👑
🥇 Thanks 🥇
Windows phone need to do a comeback with this 3 fold screen. It can smoothly integrated with windows on arm laptop. It's going to be crazy
Sorry but windows OS sucks
@@clandestine736 in term of capability it definitely better than chrome OS/ android lol
I won't lie. I originally said to myself, "This phone is doing too much." But that screen real estate would be an upgrade from the Z Fold 6 for productivity. But the always-exposed hinge scares me off a bit.
5 years of US ban and huawei didn’t survive. Huawei thrived
Watching this on the Pura 70, which I believe has the same camera setup. I would be more than happy to have the mate XT as a daily
What is not mentioned in the review is that this Huawei phone has built-in advanced AI functions, such as editing photos. If all goes as planned, the iPhone 16's advanced AI will come later as an update.
once Samsung makes one I'll buy it day 1
내년 기대 하십시오
The semi holy grail. That's the form factor foldables should be. However still couldn't have one as much as I would like. As they're still to fragile for my clumsyness. something I expected would get better year on year, but they still seem so fragile, I hope that it does improve.
Huawei is king❤❤❤
Lol bro was like, "You will be happy with The Fo'os this device will produce:"😂 British accent or Spanish?
I wasin the mindset of "folds are too small for a tablet when unfolded and too small for a phone when folded"
But man, this...
if you using it in the US, then you are a national security treat.
Here's a sponge that doesn't understand the restrictions 🤡
you don't show one of the most important factors --the multitasking
Courage and Innovation
Academic outside of China with HarmonyOS and no Google Services, at least for me.
Awesome Awesome Awesome 👌🏻
I think, until/unless they are able to make decent thin cameras, foldables should be considered "foldable tablets WITH PHONES" and skip the elaborate camera array just as tablets do. I'm a big foldable user and would give up a good camera for a good tri-fold.
Apple and Samsung, " YOU GUYS ARE IN TROUBLE "
6 million pre-orders.
Impressive numbers.
i will chaperone a Diddy party to get one of these
Waiting for ROLLABLE Huawei.😁
The only thing mind bending about the phone is there are people willing to pay $3,000.00 for it or import it for $7,000.00.
Sold, moving to the trifold from the galaxy fold 6 as soon as it's available
Samsung has fallen behind their competitors such as Huawei, Honor, Vivo, OnePlus etc. Huawei and Honor have broken records in fold design.
HUAWEI have always been better in technology than all of them
here before an hour :)
Good for keeping my noodles warm
Correctly calling it dual folding in the beginning.. then incorrectly saying "fold open a phone three times" 1:36. Awesome looking tri-fold though!
It is technically a dual fold. There is no third fold lol
Samsung apple should be worried mate xt innovative foldable phone
They have already worried once before when Huawei was outselling them before the banned. Even with Huawei sanctioned, if Apple and Samsung still have to worry, it means - Huawei is much ahead.
I'm too broke but this is exactly what i need a tablet that I can fit in my pocket
