This is a fantastic piece of tech, I'll save the proper gushing for a review but if it's the real deal, this would have a ton of real world uses. I for one could see it being great for work meetings if it can be coupled with a stylus, fold it out to take notes, read drawings etc then fold it back into your pockets for site walks, sitting in bed you've now got a proper sized tablet to browse, read books etc... that price though...

Nice. I love the idea of foldable (unfoldable?) phones in theory, but the ones that exist kinda just fold out into a larger square rather than a proper tablet sized screen.

It'd be pretty useful to load up with movies for a plane, I guess. It's probably cheaper to buy a decent tablet and a top end non-folding phone than that one phone I would imagine though.

EDIT: yep

The Huawei Mate XT Ultimate Design is available in Black and Red, with the 16GB+256GB model priced at 1,99,99 yuan (approximately USD 2808 / Rs. 2,35,910).

The higher-tier 16GB+512GB version costs 2,19,99 yuan (approximately USD 3089 / Rs. 2,59,500), and the top-end 16GB+1TB model is priced at 2,39,99 yuan (approximately USD 3370 / Rs. 2,83,095). It is already available for pre-order, with sales starting in China on September 20th.

It would be but for people that don't want to carry a phone and 2 different size tablets This is an awesome first stab at it

Oh yeah, I also think for people that could do all their computer work on an Android phone, it'd be quite useful. I couldn't make that work, but I could imagine it working for some people. But I also wonder how many of them think it's worth paying 3x the price of a top end android phone to do it all in one device.

The convenience of just having to carry one device plus having the ultimate status symbol will make it worth it for some. It's apparently loaded with all sorts of AI and satellite communication features. It comes with a wall charger, car charger and earbuds to soften the price tag a little. 🤣

That must make it the only phone on the market that comes with a charger now!

I look forward to Apple doing this. But even worse and a few gens behind. (I own an iPhone).

I cannot imagine me breaking my phone by folding it the wrong way.

4.5 million reservations in 3 days just to put things in perspective the entire global market for foldables in the 2nd quarter was 4 million. I doubt they can even produce that many.

Mate! If I had "fuck you" money, I'd get one and get you one, too! Shoot... I'd get one for all my people...

Plus the OnePlus 13 coming out in January, too!

Looks cool, but I'd cringe every time I folded it.
Wouldn't it eventually degrade in the folds or lose pixels or some such?

It's the size of a regular slab phone it's just a few millimeters thicker not sure what your problem is. Do you complain about people who use tablets in public?

Nah every idiot that can't see will have it unfolded taking videos at events without a care about anyone around them.

We need smaller dumb phones for dumb people.

Why would someone use it unfolded to record a video? The smallest iphone is going from 6.1 inches to 6.3 and the pro max is going to a massive 6.9. Did I miss you ranting about it in the apple thread?

You don't need to unfold it to record video or take pictures... Why would you think that?!
