No camera hole on display is genius. I want a cellphone without a hole in the display to enjoy videos without being distracted by it. Not everyone cares to take selfies.

The last time I was this early, if you folded your phone in half you'd break it.

Nice video!
I'm really curious how or if their new operating system is going to work here in the US?
I've been using a Mate 20x for over a year and a half now, and it is still checking quite a few more boxes than most flagships.

The US based sanctions re google play services against Huawei should only apply in the US rather than unfairly impacting everyone else globally. Even though google based services can be installed manually we shouldn’t have to resort to this in other countries. Biden should seriously consider relaxing this ban… That and the huge price tag make this a real deal breaker… it really is very well designed and best in class from a hardware only perspective though…

so i cant use the main cam as selfie just like in the mate x?

I wish Huawei wasn't banned in the U.S. I would buy this phone over the samsung z fold 3. The phone is just as cool closed as it is open, as opposed to the candy bar form of the other foldables.

Really don’t see the point of foldable with all the sacrifices but it’s really good to see the tech in there.

[timtwining]

That was cool. It made perfect sense and was well worth the watch!!!

Great job Serena, I truly enjoy your reviews on these new devices. Regardless of how people feel about the design of these devices I agree with you, this is great engineering and you got to give credit to the device manufacturers for either trying or adopting ideas. It certainly looks great too bad is out of most average consumer’s budget or not available in the North America market.

With very brittle screens no thanks I'll keep my waterproof phone that doesn't scratch and cost less than a a third of the price.

Zfold 2 is 280gm which is lighter but it was still too heavy for me. Folding phones needs to lower the weight down to 250gm. Its not user-friendly at all

These are exciting than apple M1 iPad lol

[noraisalive]

I want but don't have ? Tell me answer

[titanxie]

How is Huawei still able to make new phones??!

[iCozzh]

Lack of cameras on the inside is stupid.

[davem]

If you can’t beat your competition, make a product that is an almost replica of one.

[jamestaylor]

I thought this company was banned in the USA?

[henrih]

I know for a fact the galaxy fold 3 will blow this out the water

[dreamcastdc]

No thank you still has the fold crease between the screen.
