Bring back netbooks you cowards.
After reading through the comments and seeing the majority of people are commenting negatively but have never had a folding phone. i feel like i should chime in.
I have owns a fold 3 a fold 6 and now a fold 7, my wife has a fold 5 and we have never had one fail on us. No broken screens, no scratches or bugs. There are also several people where i work who have had at least 2 generations of these phones and also have never had issues.
I know these things break, but so does any phone. Phones breaking tend to be a user problem and not a hardware one. If you dont handle with care then you are the problem.
In fact i have only ever broken 1 phone in my 20+ years of using them and it was entirely my fault. I put it on a book on a table, then without thinking i lifted the book and it slid off and landed in a bucket of water. Pixel 1 not waterproof. My bad.
I guess i just think people are quick to judge these phones without ever having used one and i think thats so short sighted.
Ight, this shit is just getting loony.
cant wait for the TeleVoneTM. a phone that flips to the size of a full 4k television
seems like a gimmick.
I know a person who has some Samsung foldable phone that is as of right now (2025.12.03) about a year old. According to them, everything was fine since February when the phone was bought. But last week we got below 0C weather, so the fold line on the screen got layers separated.
Z Fold 7 is 2000 euro. They might have Z Fold 6, I am not sure. Regardless, that is way too expensive of a phone to breaks under a mildly cold weather.
its like curved screen gimmick, prone to defect, failures because of the awkward construction making it prone to failures, plus screen protectors have a hard time being placed on them…
This would be the coolest shit ever if these phones didn’t have a reputation for breaking so easily. I had the Z Fold 4 and after I left it partially folded for about 30 mins in my car while I was driving, something went wrong with the hinge and it could no longer open fully flat. Unacceptable for a device at that price range.
I want us to go back when it comes to smartphones, not forward. Bring back the holy trinity of removable battery, headphone jack, and SD card slot.
i have a feel foldable phone would have more weakspots.
Actually not the first tri-folded phone, but OK
Yes, because the dual-fold phone did so great. Clearly the problem was a lack of folds
I think the problem with 2 folds is that you get a square screen, which sucks for most websites, videos and games optimized for 16:9 screens, either landscape or portrait.
More unfixable crap for a world drowning in crap. Hooray!
Yeah, even as a foldable enthusiast, I see no reason for this to exist. A second hinge is just another failure point.
Wake me up when the first cylindrical, rollable phone comes out. Until then, I’m happy with my Fold 7.
Huawei: Fuck everything, we’re doing five folds.
Imagine the possibilities!
- Heated camping mattress
- Sausage roll warmer
- Car windscreen defroster
Why?
This is going to end up like the number of razor blades on disposable razors isn’t it?
20-folded phone, or they can make a phone like a dice next, then dodechedron, and then a 20-sided dice phone thats probably thier next marketing gimmick.
1K per screen according to Sammy.
I won’t buy a phone with any fewer than 16 folds.
