The TRIPLE FOLDING phone has a Problem.

this right here is the Huawei mate XT I spent over $5,000 to get one it's the world's first triple folding phone the thing is kind of mind-blowing but as I've started to dig deeper I realized there is also something sinister going on with it so this is how the thing comes presented iPhone box size reference W there's no doubt about it this is absolutely incredible so right on top here are the Huawei free buds 5 I gave these things a 7 out of 10 when I tested all the band Huawei products got a car charger 8 watts pluming NE that's generous but then I suppose equally at the same time this is the kind of experience that you would expect anyone who's willing to pay thousands of dollars for a first generation product is a true fan and Huawei needs to make sure that those fans are looked after so in here we got tips for the earphones a bunch of papers and then a carbon fiber case okay we'll come back to this what's in here oh what so you got the mains charger which is only 66 WS how do you have a Mains charger with less power than the car charger and not one but two cables a USBC to USBC and then a USBC to usba a now before the whole we didn't even need onefold why on Earth would we need twofold Army comes to get me hear me out because there is something I think is absolutely amazing about this ever since the very first foldable phones we have had a problem I think it's fair to say that most people are interested in the idea of a phone that could become a tablet at the snap of their fingers a massive screen to watch movies or play your games on but the reason that very few people follow through and actually buy these folding phones like the ones from Samsung is price aside if you want to make it usable while it's folded it's got to be tall like a phone but then that means that when you open it it's got to be square and because videos and games are all designed to be widescreen it barely makes your experience bigger than just using a normal phone and so the only thing left for foldable is to be better at crazy multitasking but that's Niche and just be honest most people who could afford one of these already have a laptop or a proper tablet for that anyway but that is where this Huawei comes in so you open once from here and yeah in this form it is basically the same as a normal foldable AKA pretty useless for most types of content but look what happens when we open one more time the extra width from this one extra fold is an absolute GameChanger I mean like this is an iPad it's widely considered one of the best devices for catching up with your m movies on an airplane but now we have a phone that gives you practically the same viewable screen area when watching content except this one folds into something resembling this what year are we living in and what Huawei has done to achieve this is actually just as cool so this is Samsung zold 5 and when folded it is 13. 4 mm thick Samsung's very latest is 12. 1 mm huawei's triple folding phone is just 12.

8 they've crumbed in a whole extra layer this is like 2D versus 3D while barely making the phone thicker at all and what that means is when the thing is unfolded this is 3. 6 mm thick obviously it is easier to make things thinner when you have more space this way but 3. 6 I did a video a few years ago on the thinnest smartphone in the world and that was 4.

75 and the current iPhone is 8. 3 for reference it genuinely feels like some sort of sci-fi movie prop and I can't quite believe this is a final product you know where it really hits home just how slim this is is when you realize that every single port button and cutout looks like it barely fits on the device not to mention that you can really tell they've put some love into this design like can you see this gold accent ring around the camera well that is apparently handd designed with almost 80 layers of stacked steel very much like actually those highly prized Damascus knives and what it means is that every single phone looks just a little bit different and that's cool so is this what foldable phones should have been like all along is this what Samsung should be making starting from next year Well it certainly looks that way on first glance cuz let's say that I'm using a normal bold folding phone I could use it in one hand like this I could use it in two hands like this or I could use it on a table and it's half folded state but what can you do on this well for starters you've got the normal phone mode you got the screen on the front you got the camera on the back this is effectively the same as using a normal folded phone folded up so then you open it up and again functionally at this point we are still identical with what you get with a normal folding phone and also like a normal folding phone you can use the screen that's currently facing the back to allow the person you're shooting to see themselves and also to allow you to take high quality selfies using your phone's rear set of cameras damn that looks good but then you get the third screen involved and this way you can start to do some very interesting stuff like you can use two screens to watch what you're doing while using the third screen to angle your camera you could actually have two screens to work on and then use the bottom screen folded up like that as a stand and then you add this case into the mix which in itself already has a stand that can rotate to any angle that you want it to and you start to think to yourself I can use this phone however I can think to use this phone this is what I mean when I say that the extra screen here is like the difference between 2D and 3D because the possibilities aren't just additive they are multiplicative and they've managed to do all of this without even sacrificing on the cameras I mean you can probably tell by the fact that this camera bump is half the thickness of the phone but this is on the upper end of foldable phone cameras and even though it is somewhat early days on the software like not that many things are fully optimized for three screens it does feel like they have thought about the user experience like for example when you want to unlock the pin screen comes up on the side that you swipe up with so this is interesting enough that yes I would love to see what Samsung and xiaomi and other foldable firm makers can do with this type of form factor cuz while it does create a number of issues in itself they're all solvable and what it does is it fixes the one big one and actually makes foldables useful for the masses now that is not to say that Huawei gets a free pass because while the trifold design could work this specific attempt at one does not I mean the smaller issues are already something there's the fact that yes there is absolutely a honeymoon phase with this where you wake up every day with a spring in your step you turn over to your wife sorry phone you open it and you Marvel at how on Earth Huawei fit this much device into 3.
