Sure buddy, whatever keeps the iPhone nightmares at bay for another year. But does the battery last three times as long? Who cares about screens if I have to charge twice a day.

You know that fat British guy that someone is posting shorts of on Youtube/Tiktok? "I was working for a company and their main product wasn't selling. They asked me if they should lower the price, I told them 'no, make your entry level product more shit.' So they took their entry level product and added roofing nails to the seat cushions. Overnight, sales of their main product skyrocketed because no one was buying their entry level anymore." That guy? He said he likes Samsung's folding phone because "I'm old and my vision is failing, so I like the larger screen of the Fold. But you can't sell that, because it's not cool to sell products for the old and infirm."
Can't speak for the TriFold, but I easily get a full day out of my Fold 7, even with Battery Protection set to 85%. I usually end my day with a 40% charge, which is considerably better than my last phone (Fold 4). Easily over 1.5x more battery life.
That said, I miss the pre-Android/iOS days; back then I was charging my phone maybe once a week.
damn! I love my fold 5, but only cause the front screen is slim. not a fan of the standard screen size on the front of this one but a 10 inch tablet in my pocket is intriguing....
ill wait for the second or third generation to come out before I consider this
I don't need origami for a phone. Just bring back classic flip phones or stop. FFS
The outside display is just about 21:9 and internal about 4:3, sounds like it's an ultimate retro gaming handheld. Lack of SD card support is a pain though
For folds, I like the old flip phone style flips better. The only puzzling thing with those ones are why keep the front facing camera when the rear cameras have a display on that half on the phone. The outer display on this is 6.5". It's not a compromise in size at all like the flips/razrs. Internal screen shouldn't have a selfie camera either
