"Fold" doesn't mean "part". So "three-fold" should mean it folds three times, not that it has tree parts. It would make more sense to me if it was called bifold, because this phone has a screen that folds twice
@@davidarco6127 dictionaries are amazing things -fold -suffix (forming adjectives and adverbs from cardinal numbers) 1. in an amount multiplied by. "threefold" 2. consisting of so many parts or facets.

When they use the term bi-fold or tri-fold, they're referring to the layers of the object stacked onto itself. Saying something is folded is ambiguous, and doesn't fully explain the amount of layers. Bi-fold and tri-fold refer to the specific number of layers of the object. All existing folding phones would be bi-folded phones since there are two layers in the folded state. These terms have been used for centuries in doors.
Correct! You guys are right that the prefix " tri " means "3" but the word "fold" isn't just what we think of as the "singular crease where it bends" . i made that rough definition to accentuate that the suffix "-fold" refers as said by the replied to post to the number of layers stacked by bending (it sounds weird with reference to phones, huh?) a single plane / panel/ sheet. think of the girl scout cookie "trefoil", similarly there are three clover like leaves, but between them, only two grooves, and in that case the similar word is more clearly about thetasty part of the cookie, not the sad place between cookie "petals". fold is the number of the object you want, not the problematic bends between them. and never think about horrible geometries like infinity scarves and donuts!.
Does anybody still doubt why Huawei was really banned, because if it wasn't for the ban they would be the number one smart device manufacturer in the world today by far.
That’s not why they were banned, smartphones was not a considering factor in the ban… It was because of their networking equipment and telecommunications and being caught sending information to the Chinese government that got them banned. If it was just their smartphones that got them bannned, OnePlus, Xioami, and other Chinese brands would be banned as well.
it shocks me how little he knows about the specs of the phone? for someone who's a tech guy why has he done no research? it comes in a 256, 500 and 1tb and it starts at about $2500 and goes up to about $3500. you can get about 4 hours in full tablet mode streaming internet and you'll use about 50% power or just over maybe a little more using 4g/5g

This phone bombed so bad in china from quality issues to bad service to faked pre-order number to tanking second hand value. Chinese people roasted it on the internet non-stop in China. In fact, lots of people took a big loss sold this garbage and went back to iphone or samsung in china.
Yeah great idea but I heard about quality issues as well over there but its not first hand knowledge. In China the media may not want to publicise such an issue given the political situation with countries banning the brand.

Bifold or trifold 'wallet's or 'door' does NOT mean 2 or 3 folds. It means when folded there is 2 or 3 sections smart guys. Lol
Tri-folding phones or nothing because they have three sections because when they're closed you have three separate this place above each other
3 folds, 3 sections, 2 creases
Phone reminds me of those barriers they give you to stop you from cheating during tests.
It's crazy to me that we still call these "phones".
Phablets
I kept wanting them to open just the front screen and take a selfie with the back camera, but nope 😔
5:39 the way you switch both phones 😳
bro forgot about the 10.2in ipad and went all the way to ipad Mini (8.3in)

are all 3 screens plastic?
Its folded into 3 sections.

trifold (3 hinges)
