I'm glad companies are continuing to innovate, but it feels wrong to be moving towards mechanical inventions again when we've finally nailed solid state tech. Have we forgotten how often printers used to break?

With how my Galaxy Flip has held up, this thing will be unusable in 6 months. There's no way it will lay flat for long with regular use.
I'm waiting for rollable screens to become a thing.
I'm sure this screen will roll lol
All models are equipped with 16GB of RAM, and two additional storage variants are available that cost 21,999 yuan (about $3,089) for 512GB and 23,999 yuan (about $3,370) for 1TB.
They are learning from Apple about the memory price. $300 for 512 gb additional memory is insane.
You're right, it is insane(ly cheap) for Memory, a bit overpriced for storage though
Folding tablet. We've left phone behind at this point.
Trifold is a newish technology while laptop are very standard. Make sense that it's as expensive
"Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
Kinda cool though tbf. Wrappable tech would be an awesome next step, like a watch that’s all screen that you can completely wrap around your wrist.
The screen would get smashed immediately.
But a trifold phone is way cooler than a laptop so of course it costs more.
Wtf u doing with the 3rd panel? I don't see the point
Dedicated porn panel
I think it's just a fancy way to make a phone turn into a tablet, which I don't see much point in. Or rather, I do see the point just not the appeal. Now if they made a Surface style tablet-laptop I'd take a second look.
This is a form factor that is actually interesting to me instead of having a double-sided screen.
If it fits in a pocket I assume the battery life is atrocious, though. If it doesn't fit in a pocket, why bother having it over a tablet?
I'd read more into it but that price is outrageous.
All that for an Android lol?
Huawei runs it's own branch of Android since it lost its ability to offer Google services.
In the case you're not paying for "Android" but for the tech, whatever you think about it it's a tech that no-one else is yet doing, least of all Apple which in real terms is still playing catch-up with Android and it's insistance of a walled garden .
2500$ for a slab of silicon with chewed on apple ain't much better lol
