The CEO was just conspicuously spotted with one of these a couple weeks ago, looks like it was a marketing scheme as we suspected.

Pedantic nit: this thing doesn’t have three folds, the name is nonsense.

antmzo220 , (edited )

Pedantic return: it has 3 screens with 2 connecting hinges, it is therefore trifold.

trifold in American English (ˈtraiˌfould) adjective

  1. triple; threefold
  2. having three parts a trifold screen

And two fold is how many screens ?

2, with 1 hinge. It’s like a normal phone but the screen number increased twofold.

Bifold means something that folds into two parts. Consider the bifold wallet or bifold door.

interdimensionalmeme ,

How can something fold into one part then ?

@gedaliyah@lemmy.world avatar

I guess the same way you slice something into one piece. Bisect is one less than trisect, so what’s one less than bisect?

Maybe the problem is that the phone is rectangular. I bet they could do it with a polygon with just two fewer sides. ;)

Trifold wallet tho

2001aCentenaryofFederation ,

The suffix “fold” in this instance refers to the number of parts, not the number of folds. As confusing as that is.

This is dumb and stupid

Holding out for the Anne Frank Trapper Keeper phone.

GamingChairModel ,

Do you mean Lisa Frank, the artist for colorful animals on school supplies, and not Anne Frank, the famous diarist who was killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust?

afox ,

Shit. That’s a big oops. Been a very long day.

mosiacmango ,

An Anne frank fold out phone would be a hell of an art piece. I think it could give Lisa Frank a run for her money.

SynopsisTantilize ,

Lmao thank you for leaving your comment unedited.

InvertedParallax ,

Ok, now I want an Anne Frank Trapper Keeper.

blindbunny ,

Holy shit we just witnessed Lemmy culture 🥲

restingboredface ,

Or, perhaps a mashup of both???

I was really wondering if I had missed something about Anne Frank.

I kinda always wanted Penny's computer book from Inspector Gadget.

Is it stupid? Yes! Yes it is certainly. But I’s it fucking stupid? It certainly is fucking.

Shit will get REALLY real when we reach five-fold! Or better yet, touch-papyrus! Just roll that meter-long flab of screen up, and you’re good to go!

rednalsi ,

i can only get so fucking soaking wet… literally can not wait.

Going to 4 is just playing it safe, you gotta go to 5!

Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.

SmoothLiquidation ,

I already pay with my watch.

I don’t need anything that is between my phone and my laptop in size.

BeardedGingerWonder ,

My concession here would be wink devices, kindle voyage and an A4 device Fortnite taking. Don’t need them, but they are handy AF.

Phones are becoming the new wallets…

Now I want a phone case with a chain that attaches to my belt.

(Like the kind bikers and punks used to wear.)

SynopsisTantilize , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

I wish this was closer to cheap than bat shit expensive.

Also, the only reason I’d want this is for native x64 emulation (which isn’t out of infancy) I had a laptop, my cellphone and my work laptop sprawled out today and this all could easily be 1 phone and 2 vms…

Clearly, so they could make an !oddlysatisfying animation. I mean, practicality is obviously not a factor here.

hellequin67 , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

Whilst I agree the technology is awesome, £2,000 for a phone, wow, no thanks.

rednalsi , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

yay, it solves every non-existent problems!

noredcandy , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

This is cool but what I really want are rollable screen phones like from Earth Final Conflict.

citrusface , to technology in Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design

I can hear the sand crunching.

Imgonnatrythis ,

My tender palm hurts just looking at this. I can feel the pinch.
