they didn’t develop or innovate new technology to add one more fold.

False

which makes sense, considering there are other companies that already made trifold phones.

False

they added one more fold to a phone using the established and developed technology of foldable screens,

False

Making the screen fold on the outside of the fold is not the same as making it fold on the inside. Which is probably why Samsung didn't manage to beat Huawei to market.

Why won't you acknowledge when all reviews say that Huawei made the first trifold?
To have a prototype that isn't production ready is not the same. It may not even work!

"False".

you are not convincing.

you insist that using existing technology is the same thing as developing new technology, which it isn't.

were you similarly blown way when Gillette added a third blade to the safety razor?

"Why won't you acknowledge when all reviews say that Huawei made the first trifold?"

because 1. they are specifically referring to a commercial launch, not new technology(a hinge).and 2. I don't value or believe doubtful headlines without evidence.

Tecno released a demonstration of a tri-fold phone in August, it took me one second to find that video, so with almost zero I've heard, we found at least one company showing off a tri-fold phone before Huawei's commercial launch.

other companies were working on and build prototypes of trifold phones, Huawei decided to bring one to market first.

we'll see if that was a good idea after people have the chance to actually purchase it and use it.

It's good for huawei you are excited about the extra hinge, that excitement is necessary for the $3,000 price tag,

Here, this will blow your mind;

5 hinges that fold on the inside and outside:

what will they think of next?

6 hinges?

that would be a coup.
