Finally, a folding phone that doesn’t waste a screen. If you’re going to have three screens you should be able to use them all together. Ultimate form factor!
The Chinese idiom “一波三折” or tri fold can be translated into English as “full of twists and turns” or “a series of ups and downs.” It refers to a situation that encounters multiple obstacles or difficulties before reaching a resolution, often implying an unexpected or challenging process.
this phone had tons of issue with its screen, look at some reviewer in china, amoled instantly turn black on day one You won't earn china points by replying to me. Don't embarrass yourself
I had a Huawei once, and I loved the camera. However, I was worried of Australia banning it because of USA. As soon as I have an opportunity, I will purchase a Huawei again.
If you are not in China, you should be careful. Huawei may not be particularly useful. Especially recently, my friend told me that his contract mobile phone was also disabled in Australia
I had two Huawei phones before the ban, best phones I’ve ever had. My second one lasted me 4 years with 0 issues. Ended up replacing it with the s24 because of the ban. Still miss using them.
I still use my p30 pro which I pre ordered back in 2019.. never had any issues .. no lag nothing.. just changed battery couple of times thts all .. this is the best quality phone I have ever used.
And it only cost you sacrificing your identity and all personal data and usage history to the CCP to build a profile on you and everyone else dumb enough to buy whoarewe phones
same, i used huawei before changing to samsung thanks to the ban and it lasted for 4 years, and the only thing that broke in the phone was the screen. but the best thing that it was only a mid-range model, and the chassis was actually slightly bent because i hit it too hard when gaming lol. i think i'm gonna get another huawei when they managed to make one with 5nm chip.
And the fact that they give you the chargers, the cables, the screen protector and the case right out of the box! Always loved that about Huawei ❤️ Happy to see Mark appreciating it.
I don’t want competition being mentioned in the comments i hate that just focus on the phone itself and i know that huawei made a cool phone but other companies didn’t do anything
An amazingly bad and expensive product. Basically you shouldn't go to the beach with it or sand and water will kill it. Oh, and don't put it down on a couch or you will accidentally sit on and break the weak hinges. Don't drop it, or tap it too hard either.
@@g43654 It's almost like it's the first generation of the product. Give it time. I don't any other company with a Tri fold phone. Because they can't yet. At least we're seeing something different for a change. An extra button what a joke that was.
This feels like the end state for folding phones. So much about it makes so much sense. It means you one needs one screen, not a big screen and a "cover" screen, like most foldables. And fully unfolded, it gives you a tablet sized screen with an appropriate aspect ratio, not some weird square screen like most foldables.
Add a keyboard and you got a basic computer to send email and edit documents. China is living in the future, NIO cars have swappable batteries instead of charging them, Tri fold phones while here we are still stuck with iphone and tesla old technology.
There is a next step... A 5 or 6 inch tube like a cigar cylinder where the screen pulls-out and stays flat. The battery (etc.) is in the cylinder, which what you hold it by. Will fit easily in breast pockets etc. Companies are working on that form factor.
@@johnpublicprofile6261 Im picturing a phone like that and it's making me think it could work, especially if the materials science for the screen aren't there yet, instead of needing to replace a full phone, it would just be the screen itself and the rest of it would be intact hopefully making repairs cheaper.
That’s exactly what I thought. I always found the book-type foldables wasteful because they have two fully functional screens that you do not use simultaniously. Huawei has previously experimented with the monoscreen foldable but the durability was always a weakness. This looks like a good next step.
One of the biggest hindrance to adoption of folding phones is the lack of app compatibility with the square aspect ratio. Great to see a proper 16:9 and it'll be interesting to see what becomes of it
100% I went through 2 version of the Galaxy Fold and loved it until the apps started driving me crazy. It actually pushed me from Android to iPhone for the first time in my life. Will just wait for Apple to create the revolutionary folding phone. :-)
Tbh it really isnt that big of a deal for most users. Its not really about the number of apps that support 4:3, but the number of apps you actually use that supports it, and a lot of the biggest, most popular apps can handle it just fine Imo the much bigger problem is how bad a 4:3 screen is for watching 16:9 video, and of course price
To me it's the price lol... That, and probably the absolute nonresistance to dust and debris. I would love something like this that has a 6.4-6.7 in screen on the outside, then you flip it out like this for maximum screen... However, it needs to be at least 1/3rd the price for me to even consider, and then have slightly more resistance to dust and debris from absolutely destroying the thing... Bonus points for a tougher "flexible glass" that doesn't just scratch at a level 3 moes pick and maybe some semblance of water resistance.
Was just in China and visited Huawei/Xiaomi/Oppo retail stores dotted in major malls, they are out with so many bifold and trifold phones with much improved creases than those early generation models. It’s now a serious consideration for the compactness of an EDC smartphone. Quality wise, they are not differentiated with those from Apple. The only significant factor is with Huawei’s own HarmonyOS. Played with v4.2.0 and it’s really smooth and has many interface improvements over Android. By my real life assessment, this trade war on China by the US administrations really has backfired on the US. The sooner the US learns that it’ll be displaced to be world #2, and at some point #3 by India, the better it is. Screwing with a strategy that expects an unrealistic #1 is completely counterproductive and is just accelerating the downfall. Much wiser to strategise for a realistic solid #2 and try to extract maximum national interest in that position.
The task of the United States as the world's number one is to suppress the second... It just happens to be China. If India is second. It won't let you go either
The price of this phone is the only thing dropping faster than the price of a home in their country. It uses a five year old chipset that wasn't very good to begin with. They keep saying that it's better than apple when the apple models hold the top three spots in their country. Almost all of their top gov officials use apple phone. There are videos showing that the screen was broken while starting it up for the first time. If the screen breaks they refuse to fix it even when under warranty. They only made a million of them for a reason. Fail!
The most useful feature is that I can open an Excel on one panel and a browser on another panel to work on multiple windows, just like a laptop. And the keyboard is also foldable into your pocket. This one device can replace most laptops and phones and tablets.
Couldn’t imagine using it daily and not breaking it and at that price…but that’s not really the point. It’s an engineering marvel, a piece of art and a proof of concept for sure!
I mean, one of the phones you're comparing *is* a USD$3,500 phone being sold *in China*. If Apple were to sell a base for 3 grand, they'd be laughed to death no matter what they do, and I'm not even talking about factoring Huawei's pricing in American consumer prices to get a real reference to how much this would cost in North America.
@@diegofkda199funny enough this phone is struggling to sell for for resellers in China and some have even bought them for 2/3 of the price bc the market for these phones has crashed pretty hard.
@@diegofkda199 it's not about comparing this to an iPhone, of course you cannot compare the two like you detailed; it's about comparing approaches... (and this is coming from an Apple user) Apple's idea of innovation is... I literally don't know anymore, the biggest thing we had was the Dynamic Island (camera button is disgustingly ill-conceived, so I won't even categorize it as innovation), while we have people out there constantly pushing the limit in both hardware and software. All I'll say is that it's a damn shame Huawei has the GMS problem
Two things: 1) the second I saw the first foldables, I wanted this to happen. It's the next logical step, and it's so much closer to "no compromises" than current foldables. Not perfect, of course, but I kinda hate square screens. It's literally all in one, I freaking love it. 2) When you open it the "wrong" way, why not just auto-open the camera in that mode that uses the main cameras for selfies? Kills two birds with one stone: it makes it obvious that you've opened the phone the other way, and it speeds up the process of switching to that camera mode if you want to use it regularly.
i have to say the first part of your argument. its a great device dont get me wrong. ill give it an 8 - because its china only, they cant use Snapdragon (qualcomm chip) so its slower (about the same as 2020 chip snap 888) - the reason samsung doesnt do folding outward like this is because when you put it in your pocket, the flexible display is EXPOSED (unlike the book-like fold samsung use). so there will be a time where one of the 3 screen that is exposed 24/7 will be scratched VERY easily in pocket (compared to when you pocket Samsung Z fold and the outside is a proper gorilla glass phone) because we cant control a little grain of sand/gravel got into your pocket its a good attempt at inovation but until we find a material that is flexible and scratch around the same level as glass, folding outwards isnt practical in the slightest
Thin screens and one fold the wrong way, kaput your phone is just an expensive brick, it also costs a lot to fix the screen. Y'all not familiar with the Chinese market won't understand the issues this phone has.
I dailied a Huawei phone in the US for 3 years. It was the P30 Pro, making it the last before the Google/US ban, meaning I could get all the normal apps. It was missing a few radios, so sometimes reception was a little worse, but most times it was fine. I ultimately switched because all the US carriers now require you to have an iPhone, Samsung, or Pixel (or one of the cheap phones they sell you directly) to use features like WiFi calling, even if the phone supports this natively (which the P30 does). The thing I miss most about it was that it is the only phone I have ever used that basically had no battery worries. I just never thought about it, and in the 3 years I had it, only twice did it get near to running out: once, when taking several hundred (a thousand?) pictures at a show, and once towards the end when the battery was getting weaker, and I used it for an hour long video conference while taking hundreds more pics at a show. Huawei does pretty aggressively close apps in the background, but this really works to extend battery life to last 2 days or more. I wish more manufacturers would copy this bit. Another cool feature (before AI became the latest trend) was the camera's AI subject/scene identification. It could literally tell a bicycle from a motorcycle, and would tell you what the item was on screen. It would then optimize the settings for that scene. Also, the night-mode beat all other brands, as it could see in almost total darkness due to the RYYB sensor (versus the standard RGGB sensor in pretty much every phone), and super-sampling. It was one of the first phones with periscope zoom built in as well, long before Samsung.
I am still daily driving my P30 Pro and the only issue I have had is the fact the the screen broke a month ago. Had to have it replaced fast, so I went for a knockoff brand the next day. The screen quality is not the same and the fingerprint reader has some issues now. That said, it still supports everything I need it to do, the responsiveness is the same as ever and the camera quality is still amazing. Huawei does indeed make some amazing flagship phones, but the sanctions make people forget how good they still are.
Same here. Best phone ever. Still today I hold it and I think it was too advanced for 2019. Now I switched to Honor Magic 6 Pro. Couldn't be happier. Battery life is 2 days.
I loved my P30 Pro, then I fell in love with foldables and bought a Galaxy Z Fold3. That died (the infamous flex cable defect), and in between phones I went back to the Huawei. Since then I gave Samsung another shot with the Fold5, but I still feel the P30 Pro was hands down the best all-rounder phone I've ever had. In Europe, phone signal is better than any other phone I've had, the camera still had some features superior to my Fold5, and the battery life was great - even 4 years later when I had to move back to it.
All three would literally be the same because no one buys Huawei's in those three companies biggest markets. Paired with the fact innovation is dead at Apple and Samsung, with it rapidly draining out of Google's Pixel team, I doubt much would be different. At best, maybe Samsung would take their foldables seriously again.
@@facelesstruth4961 You been brainwashed by your politicians. Don't believe in politicians they are the ones going to take your money and send it abroad after brainwashing you with their propaganda.
This is the most exciting phone I've seen in YEARS. As for the weaknesses, I never actually use phone speakers except for ringtone and notifications so it doesn't matter that they're bad. If I want good audio I use headphones or a speaker anyway. And the price is steep. But that's something that can come down with time. Along with scratch resistance on the screen and how prominent the fold lines are. This form factor should be the new standard for folding phones. It's actually amazing for video and gaming content.
I have dual opinion about this phone, it's impressive and in many use cases it's perfect phone where all my needs are fulfilled by this one device, but on the other hand having 2 devices, standard phone and tablet with thicker bezels is just more comfortable and I don't have to make tradeoffs in screen durability, visible crises, and battery size, so my opinion is 50:50, great concept device but still needs a lot of work and tech advancements.
yeah huawei was the top company when it came to affordability and innovation, but US had to ban it and all others followed, for "security" and fear of being spied... Because obviously only huawei would spy on people, us companies would never do that They were just scared of huawei getting ahead of apple is all
This phone maybe looks cool, but once the novelty wears off, it's gonna be a pain in the ahh to use this. Not only it's too heavy to put in your pocket, you also have to unfold it every time you pull out your phone for simple task. The repair cost is gonna be stupidly high and the quality for long term use is ... questionable.
Always great to see your balanced reviews and so glad that you didn't tear down the phone just for the sake of it - considering I just saw a couple of videos do just that. It really is a marvel of technology.
Not gonna lie, this looks really amazing and fact that its that thin is arguably the best thing about this product. Its been a while when i saw a product and my immediate thoughts are this looks freaking amazing. I want to use it. Last time i was this excited to see a product was in 2013 when Nokia launched Lumia 1020. People went bonkers with that 41MP camera with Zeiss Lens and Xenon Flash.
I still have that phone in my drawer. It was truly a great phone, and the only phone that didn’t try to be another Apple knockoff. Too bad they started too late and the usership never really caught on 😢
I do hope that now that Huawei has managed to produce a tri-fold, this will propel others manufacturers to try it, as a visually impaired user, i adore the idea of being able to look at something on my phone sized screen and if i want to see more detail I can open the phone up to full screen, this would be wonderful for instagram.
I doubt it will push anybody, apple got people clapping for adding another button, that's where we are at man. I doubt there is people out there who even noticed
@@kaydend5192 Apple isn't at the cutting edge of screen technology though, they're software based, Samsung, even Google are doing foldables because they recognise that we are hitting maximum brick phone, people aren't changing phone every year as there isn't anything new on the hardware side.
As an Aussie, I bought a Huawei P30 Pro in Nov 2019 and it is still going strong. It was the last Huawei phone in Australia to be Android & Google Play compatible. I definitely understand the embargo 🕵️🇨🇳🕵️, but appreciate the technology and competition of Huawei products.
I have the lite version (since 2019). Had to do a battery replacement as I was gaming with fast charger back during corona. Now it's kinda slow compared to my new flagship, but it still works fine except for the camera
At the time Huawei were pretty much the fastest selling phone in the world ,they surpassed Samsung and they were on a trajectory to surpass iPhone too , Huwei is technically the only phone that was competing against iPhone even in the US,that would have been good for consumers as iPhone was force to innovate in order to sell but with the ban of Huawai, iPhone has just a monopoly over the US market which means that it is bad for the consumers since they are not force to innovate
If these were still available in australia i would 100% get one, my biggest gripe with the folds is that the aspect ratio is always funky, this solves that issue
do u have any idea how expensive it is? Good thing about stated sponsored company is they can do burn any amount of cash they want to push out tech, but the downfall is if they fail it's after their head
They literally have 2 freaking folds on the OLED and is the bleeding edge of technology and this guy is still stuck at iphone colours. I understand how Apple is still in business after selling the same thing over and over again. It's because of people like these. @@BrunoDias1234
LOL at 4:58 when Marques scroll Chinese domestic Tiktok: "Americans think they can blow up the Three Gorges Dam and China would be wiped out, they are dead wrong". 🤣
This is the only fold that I actually approve of. 16:9 aspect ratio is the way to consume content in over 90% of SM and media consumption platforms; this just makes sense. The other folding (dual folding - no pun intended) phones are just a fancy way to see bigger bezels on videos.
Agree 100%. The Fold 5 is a great daily driver but the way people defend the square drives me bananas. We're barely half way through figuring out the best design.
I have had a Huawei phone in Australia for a couple of years. I bought because it had the best camera at the time, a Leica lens and genuine mechanical plus optical zoom. It has been great so far. Google works fine in this part of the world. The US really needs to get over its fear of China.
@@noticiasinmundiciasthat’s also one of the reasons why iPhone literally stopped innovating simply because they don’t need to innovate anymore since most young people in the US just buy iPhone and there is no actual competition .Before Huawai was banned ,Huawai was the fastest selling phone on the market , it was selling more then Samsung and they were on track to actually take market share from Apple In the US market which it is insane since Huawai is technically the only phone that was actually starting to compete with Apple in the North American market at the time I was recommending Huawai to a lot of people since it was the best android device out there .
The fear mongering is a political tool to protect its industries and to prop up the Millitary industry complex. The senators and congress has alot to lose if their investments are going down south.
It seems that an important function has been overlooked. It is also a satellite phone that can be used to make calls and send coordinates anywhere in the world. It is an important life-saving tool.
If the U.S. does not ban it, satellite communication technology will be widely used around the world. Satellite communication technology has been used in Huawei phones since the Mate 50😂.
I've been wanting something like this forever. It makes sense in terms of usability. Small form factor for when you want to use it on the go. Tablet size for when you want to read a novel. The only thing missing is availability. I've been aware of this phone since it came out. Thanks Marques for confirming my suspicions and teasing us a little bit more with things we want but can't have.
@@alexx123ify they delayed the V2 in Europe for so long that it made sense to skip it. Likewise, every other phone looks so dull by comparison, well apart from the XT!
This is UNBELIEVABLE! Wow. Just wow! I want this so bad right now, regardless of the limitations. We should have this. Do you know how much work you can get done with this! $3,500 though… and I still want it.
Ye and this dude in the video did not say anything about the outdated chip in this Z fold, and poor quality of stolen from Samsung technology of folding screen. A lot of people complain that screen stops working after using it for a while.
This is the most compelling foldable phone hardware-wise. I used Galaxy Z Fold as daily driver for some time and my largest gripe was that, after novelty wears off, I just used as a regular phone rarely unfolding it because screen real estate gain is not worth it even for media consumption (lots of app doesn’t even support it). This tri-fold form factor unfold to a 10in tablet which is much more appealing IMO.
I see what you mean. I use my galaxy fold 4 90% of the time as a regular phone. But when I want to watch a movie or youtube I unfold it and use the inner screen. Still worth it for me.
I have mine unfolded at least 80% of the time. If I'm not going to drop it then it's open. If I'm walking around or using it in the car to find something quickly then it's closed or if I check something up in the store. But anytime otherwise it's fully open no matter what I'm doing, not only for media consumption. I broke mine and had to get another one and when I used another phone I have as a replacement in the meantime, it was painful to not have that big screen.
My problem is the price of 28,888rmb and with 2 folds. You could buy a 1-year warranty for screen replacement. The idea is great. I carry my iPad Mini wherever I go. The Stores locally have pulled it off the shelf and told me to come back in two months to see it again. It was there two months ago, then disappeared. I plan to check weekly to see when it returns.
love the tech!... phone is awesome, super thin! But not something you can just throw in your purse or pocket. The screen is plastic and scratches even with fingernails, and a bit of dust / dirt in hinges or low temperatures impede folding. Idea of having a huge foldable screen in such a small form factor is amazing, even if only in theory, since it is a chore to fold and unfold, and when closed it is just a thick heavy 6 inch phone. still amazing first generation idea.
The US are missing out on these Chinese smartphones. Companies like Xiaomi, Vivo, Huawei and many more are all pushing forward the envelope of innovation in smartphone technologies whilst also offering a decent alternatives for the budget-conscious. It's wild out here.
That’s what the US, their sycophantic “allies”, and non-critical thinking ‘muricans are actually afraid of. They’re afraid of the free market and real competition.

I had a Huawei once, and I loved the camera. However, I was worried of Australia banning it because of USA. As soon as I have an opportunity, I will purchase a Huawei again.
My Honor got rejected to join the celluer network since the 3G network switched off, because of it uses 3G for emergency calls. what a damn reason
If you are not in China, you should be careful. Huawei may not be particularly useful. Especially recently, my friend told me that his contract mobile phone was also disabled in Australia
I had two Huawei phones before the ban, best phones I’ve ever had. My second one lasted me 4 years with 0 issues. Ended up replacing it with the s24 because of the ban. Still miss using them.
I still use my p30 pro which I pre ordered back in 2019.. never had any issues .. no lag nothing.. just changed battery couple of times thts all .. this is the best quality phone I have ever used.
It also has a cool feature like answer call by voice, which I still miss in my latest phone 📱
Same, had a Mate 10 Pro and P30 Pro, best phones I ever had. Now I have a Pixel, I really don't like it, gonna change soon.
And it only cost you sacrificing your identity and all personal data and usage history to the CCP to build a profile on you and everyone else dumb enough to buy whoarewe phones
same, i used huawei before changing to samsung thanks to the ban and it lasted for 4 years, and the only thing that broke in the phone was the screen. but the best thing that it was only a mid-range model, and the chassis was actually slightly bent because i hit it too hard when gaming lol.
i think i'm gonna get another huawei when they managed to make one with 5nm chip.
And the fact that they give you the chargers, the cables, the screen protector and the case right out of the box! Always loved that about Huawei ❤️ Happy to see Mark appreciating it.

This feels like the end state for folding phones. So much about it makes so much sense. It means you one needs one screen, not a big screen and a "cover" screen, like most foldables. And fully unfolded, it gives you a tablet sized screen with an appropriate aspect ratio, not some weird square screen like most foldables.
tech isnt there yet for durabilty a few more years
Add a keyboard and you got a basic computer to send email and edit documents. China is living in the future, NIO cars have swappable batteries instead of charging them, Tri fold phones while here we are still stuck with iphone and tesla old technology.
There is a next step...
A 5 or 6 inch tube like a cigar cylinder where the screen pulls-out and stays flat. The battery (etc.) is in the cylinder, which what you hold it by. Will fit easily in breast pockets etc. Companies are working on that form factor.
@@johnpublicprofile6261 Im picturing a phone like that and it's making me think it could work, especially if the materials science for the screen aren't there yet, instead of needing to replace a full phone, it would just be the screen itself and the rest of it would be intact hopefully making repairs cheaper.
That’s exactly what I thought. I always found the book-type foldables wasteful because they have two fully functional screens that you do not use simultaniously. Huawei has previously experimented with the monoscreen foldable but the durability was always a weakness. This looks like a good next step.
Now THAT is truly a Z Fold phone...
Lmao
Yea I have no idea why Samsung named the fold that...
@@lowmax4431samsung should have called theirs a V fold
Samsung probably had it in mind (they did announce the triple fold way back in 2013 or so). Just taking its time polishing the concept.
@@rnrnrkrk994 what an excuse🤣
One of the biggest hindrance to adoption of folding phones is the lack of app compatibility with the square aspect ratio. Great to see a proper 16:9 and it'll be interesting to see what becomes of it
Exactly my fold 3 rarely get full screen use when using apps or streaming films.
100% I went through 2 version of the Galaxy Fold and loved it until the apps started driving me crazy. It actually pushed me from Android to iPhone for the first time in my life. Will just wait for Apple to create the revolutionary folding phone. :-)
The creases look awful tbf
Tbh it really isnt that big of a deal for most users. Its not really about the number of apps that support 4:3, but the number of apps you actually use that supports it, and a lot of the biggest, most popular apps can handle it just fine
Imo the much bigger problem is how bad a 4:3 screen is for watching 16:9 video, and of course price
To me it's the price lol... That, and probably the absolute nonresistance to dust and debris. I would love something like this that has a 6.4-6.7 in screen on the outside, then you flip it out like this for maximum screen... However, it needs to be at least 1/3rd the price for me to even consider, and then have slightly more resistance to dust and debris from absolutely destroying the thing... Bonus points for a tougher "flexible glass" that doesn't just scratch at a level 3 moes pick and maybe some semblance of water resistance.
Was just in China and visited Huawei/Xiaomi/Oppo retail stores dotted in major malls, they are out with so many bifold and trifold phones with much improved creases than those early generation models. It’s now a serious consideration for the compactness of an EDC smartphone. Quality wise, they are not differentiated with those from Apple. The only significant factor is with Huawei’s own HarmonyOS. Played with v4.2.0 and it’s really smooth and has many interface improvements over Android. By my real life assessment, this trade war on China by the US administrations really has backfired on the US. The sooner the US learns that it’ll be displaced to be world #2, and at some point #3 by India, the better it is. Screwing with a strategy that expects an unrealistic #1 is completely counterproductive and is just accelerating the downfall. Much wiser to strategise for a realistic solid #2 and try to extract maximum national interest in that position.
The task of the United States as the world's number one is to suppress the second... It just happens to be China. If India is second. It won't let you go either

The price of this phone is the only thing dropping faster than the price of a home in their country. It uses a five year old chipset that wasn't very good to begin with. They keep saying that it's better than apple when the apple models hold the top three spots in their country. Almost all of their top gov officials use apple phone. There are videos showing that the screen was broken while starting it up for the first time. If the screen breaks they refuse to fix it even when under warranty.

Two things:
1) the second I saw the first foldables, I wanted this to happen. It's the next logical step, and it's so much closer to "no compromises" than current foldables. Not perfect, of course, but I kinda hate square screens. It's literally all in one, I freaking love it.
2) When you open it the "wrong" way, why not just auto-open the camera in that mode that uses the main cameras for selfies? Kills two birds with one stone: it makes it obvious that you've opened the phone the other way, and it speeds up the process of switching to that camera mode if you want to use it regularly.
Huawei in 2024: adding 2 extra screens.
Apple in 2024: adding 2 extra buttons.
Feeds two birds with one scone
i have to say the first part of your argument. its a great device dont get me wrong. ill give it an 8
- because its china only, they cant use Snapdragon (qualcomm chip) so its slower (about the same as 2020 chip snap 888)
- the reason samsung doesnt do folding outward like this is because when you put it in your pocket, the flexible display is EXPOSED (unlike the book-like fold samsung use). so there will be a time where one of the 3 screen that is exposed 24/7 will be scratched VERY easily in pocket (compared to when you pocket Samsung Z fold and the outside is a proper gorilla glass phone) because we cant control a little grain of sand/gravel got into your pocket
its a good attempt at inovation but until we find a material that is flexible and scratch around the same level as glass, folding outwards isnt practical in the slightest
Thin screens and one fold the wrong way, kaput your phone is just an expensive brick, it also costs a lot to fix the screen. Y'all not familiar with the Chinese market won't understand the issues this phone has.
@@canthandlethetruth-djioh no, if i break it - it breaks??
I dailied a Huawei phone in the US for 3 years. It was the P30 Pro, making it the last before the Google/US ban, meaning I could get all the normal apps. It was missing a few radios, so sometimes reception was a little worse, but most times it was fine. I ultimately switched because all the US carriers now require you to have an iPhone, Samsung, or Pixel (or one of the cheap phones they sell you directly) to use features like WiFi calling, even if the phone supports this natively (which the P30 does).
The thing I miss most about it was that it is the only phone I have ever used that basically had no battery worries. I just never thought about it, and in the 3 years I had it, only twice did it get near to running out: once, when taking several hundred (a thousand?) pictures at a show, and once towards the end when the battery was getting weaker, and I used it for an hour long video conference while taking hundreds more pics at a show. Huawei does pretty aggressively close apps in the background, but this really works to extend battery life to last 2 days or more. I wish more manufacturers would copy this bit.
Another cool feature (before AI became the latest trend) was the camera's AI subject/scene identification. It could literally tell a bicycle from a motorcycle, and would tell you what the item was on screen. It would then optimize the settings for that scene. Also, the night-mode beat all other brands, as it could see in almost total darkness due to the RYYB sensor (versus the standard RGGB sensor in pretty much every phone), and super-sampling. It was one of the first phones with periscope zoom built in as well, long before Samsung.
@@Afy62 bro he doesnt say 3 years ago he says he "used it for 3 years"
I am still daily driving my P30 Pro and the only issue I have had is the fact the the screen broke a month ago. Had to have it replaced fast, so I went for a knockoff brand the next day. The screen quality is not the same and the fingerprint reader has some issues now. That said, it still supports everything I need it to do, the responsiveness is the same as ever and the camera quality is still amazing. Huawei does indeed make some amazing flagship phones, but the sanctions make people forget how good they still are.
Same here. Best phone ever. Still today I hold it and I think it was too advanced for 2019. Now I switched to Honor Magic 6 Pro. Couldn't be happier. Battery life is 2 days.
@@Fredrare100% agree. Consider buying Honor Magic 6 Pro. I switched from P30 Pro to this one and I am super happy. It is the natural successor
I loved my P30 Pro, then I fell in love with foldables and bought a Galaxy Z Fold3. That died (the infamous flex cable defect), and in between phones I went back to the Huawei. Since then I gave Samsung another shot with the Fold5, but I still feel the P30 Pro was hands down the best all-rounder phone I've ever had. In Europe, phone signal is better than any other phone I've had, the camera still had some features superior to my Fold5, and the battery life was great - even 4 years later when I had to move back to it.
This is the kind of foldable that I would actually buy. I want something that can combine my phone and tablet into one device.

@@noticiasinmundiciasthat’s also one of the reasons why iPhone literally stopped innovating simply because they don’t need to innovate anymore since most young people in the US just buy iPhone and there is no actual competition .Before Huawai was banned ,Huawai was the fastest selling phone on the market , it was selling more then Samsung and they were on track to actually take market share from Apple In the US market which it is insane since Huawai is technically the only phone that was actually starting to compete with Apple in the North American market at the time I was recommending Huawai to a lot of people since it was the best android device out there .
China installs spy tech and doesn't respect privacy.
The fear mongering is a political tool to protect its industries and to prop up the Millitary industry complex. The senators and congress has alot to lose if their investments are going down south.
Never considered a folding phone until this!
What's stopping you with this one? Looking for a more refined model and play services?
Same. If samsung releases something similar, I would get it in a heartbeat.
@@SRC267 It isnt legally sold in the west
This, to me, is the only logical folding phone.
It's a 1st Gen. So hold your hype to buy until the next generation. Battery suxks and all of the screens are still soft.
The most honest reviews as always. This is why I Marques' content.
WOW, It's really quite impressive, Quality piece of Engineering on both the Hardware and Software
Best innovative product of the year 🎉
might be the most interesting phone for me since the first iphone release
That looks absolutely insane!
Love your reviews by the way
US: sanctions
China : Innovation triple fold
US: you started a war!
I hope they launch this globally. It's an amazing phone.
A good piece of tech makes this man happy
Yes! I have been waiting to see your opinion on this!
Apple claims that it has tri-fold, too. Just get 3x iphone 16, duct-tape them together to make an Apple tri-fold . . . . magic, right?
It seems that an important function has been overlooked. It is also a satellite phone that can be used to make calls and send coordinates anywhere in the world. It is an important life-saving tool.
No, satellite phones can only be used in or near China
If the U.S. does not ban it, satellite communication technology will be widely used around the world. Satellite communication technology has been used in Huawei phones since the Mate 50😂.
Honestly, for a first gen, they really came out swinging with this one! Well done Huawei 👏🏻, It seems like this is what folding tech was meant for 👍🏻
I've always believed the Trifold Phone to be the pinnacle of smartphone technology.
I'm really glad to see this!
previous years: we remove buttons to innovate
latest years: we add buttons to innovate as well wtf...........
The best case use of 3 screens, while having immersive media real estate in such a compact form factor, Huawei really seats at the peak with this one.
Can I try folding it?
No Zack, leave that baby alone.
I've been wanting something like this forever. It makes sense in terms of usability. Small form factor for when you want to use it on the go. Tablet size for when you want to read a novel. The only thing missing is availability. I've been aware of this phone since it came out. Thanks Marques for confirming my suspicions and teasing us a little bit more with things we want but can't have.
That’s nuts… and awesome… thank you for going to the trouble of getting one and sharing the experience!
I've got the Honor Magic V3, it's got the same type of case that comes with it but*only* 2 screens. It's honestly wonderful
I've got the V2 and it's brilliant. I'll probably get the v4 by the time my contract runs out. I can't go back to a candy bar phone now.
@@alexx123ify they delayed the V2 in Europe for so long that it made sense to skip it. Likewise, every other phone looks so dull by comparison, well apart from the XT!
apple: we lead in innovation also apple: we still have 60hz in 2024
Jerry will have a lot of fun with this one
Samsung: Innovation phone roll
Huawei: Innovation triple fold
Apple: Umm, New button
This is UNBELIEVABLE! Wow. Just wow! I want this so bad right now, regardless of the limitations. We should have this. Do you know how much work you can get done with this! $3,500 though… and I still want it.
Then buy it. It will be broken in a week.
And then you have Apple thinking that moving icons in your homescreen is revolutionary XD
Ye and this dude in the video did not say anything about the outdated chip in this Z fold, and poor quality of stolen from Samsung technology of folding screen. A lot of people complain that screen stops working after using it for a while.
@@РукиТрясуки How much did you get to post this? Samsung don't even have the technology.
@@rexyuan6508 lol google Samsung Z flip phone
2:57 “Why stop halfway when you are just one more fold away from greatness” 😂😂😂
This is the most compelling foldable phone hardware-wise. I used Galaxy Z Fold as daily driver for some time and my largest gripe was that, after novelty wears off, I just used as a regular phone rarely unfolding it because screen real estate gain is not worth it even for media consumption (lots of app doesn’t even support it). This tri-fold form factor unfold to a 10in tablet which is much more appealing IMO.
I see what you mean. I use my galaxy fold 4 90% of the time as a regular phone. But when I want to watch a movie or youtube I unfold it and use the inner screen. Still worth it for me.
I have mine unfolded at least 80% of the time. If I'm not going to drop it then it's open. If I'm walking around or using it in the car to find something quickly then it's closed or if I check something up in the store. But anytime otherwise it's fully open no matter what I'm doing, not only for media consumption. I broke mine and had to get another one and when I used another phone I have as a replacement in the meantime, it was painful to not have that big screen.
Screens of these phones are already breaking. Lot of videos uploaded on Chinese social media bt angry customers. 😂
Apple take some notes on innovation
My problem is the price of 28,888rmb and with 2 folds. You could buy a 1-year warranty for screen replacement. The idea is great. I carry my iPad Mini wherever I go. The Stores locally have pulled it off the shelf and told me to come back in two months to see it again. It was there two months ago, then disappeared. I plan to check weekly to see when it returns.
love the tech!... phone is awesome, super thin! But not something you can just throw in your purse or pocket. The screen is plastic and scratches even with fingernails, and a bit of dust / dirt in hinges or low temperatures impede folding. Idea of having a huge foldable screen in such a small form factor is amazing, even if only in theory, since it is a chore to fold and unfold, and when closed it is just a thick heavy 6 inch phone. still amazing first generation idea.
The US are missing out on these Chinese smartphones. Companies like Xiaomi, Vivo, Huawei and many more are all pushing forward the envelope of innovation in smartphone technologies whilst also offering a decent alternatives for the budget-conscious. It's wild out here.
Xiaomi and vivo. I laf
That’s what the US, their sycophantic “allies”, and non-critical thinking ‘muricans are actually afraid of. They’re afraid of the free market and real competition.
EV & tiktok too ?
This phone has bad QC and repair is expensive as hell. No thanks.
