Imagine watching 3 different techtubers review the 3 screen phone on 3 different screens
😂😂
Yo bro, chill. I can't take that many people
.
.
.
That's what she said. Sorry, I had to say it 😂
That's like that one GTA5 achievement
If you do split screen mode, then 6 videos at once
My brain isn’t braining
Marques: Ready
Jerry: Set
Arun: Go
Average Dad selling it 😊
bruh
Samsung came up with the prototype 3 years ago, didn't enter mass production as screen was easily scratchabe. Huawei seems to not have addressed that issue and produced another knock off.
Apparently anything one company does and another company also does automatically makes one of them a knock off?.@orchid6699
LeoArronChester Jerry Rig Everything
How did we both post a video about the same phone at the same time? Nice work.
Looking forward to the bend test Jerry 😂😂
2nd
@gichukiirandu997 The video is like exposure therapy for when next time I damage my phone I won't be as sad
EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING!
Also, I can't believe the Tri-Fold was in the same state as me. (We live in the same state, I believe)
yea lol great minds think alike lol
fuck it why stop at 3 screens, lets get to 100
I think that the tri fold concept is probably the best implementation of this idea, unlike other foldables it genuinely becomes a respectably large tablet that is a media machine
I want you to watch JRE's most current video that he literally just uploaded at the same time as this one
Lies look at samsung trifold they knew it wouldn't last long tho which is why they haven't released it yet
As an idea, yes, I agree it’s the best way to do a folding phone. In practice? It’s awful. As touched on in this video: you *have* to expose one of the edges of the folding screen. And those screens are not at all durable.
I think you’d need something like the tablets in westworld where you have three solid edge-to-edge screens instead of one flexible screen. And you’d need a 3x improvement in battery density.
@auspiciouslywild Honestly that's not that much of a concern, these are foldables, which are by all means luxury vanity devices. People who want reliability should just buy a slab phone and honestly even with a foldable you should have a slab backup just in case something breaks. It's mostly a novelty, luxury device and not really good at being a phone. While the Samsung folds and flips are better at being phones, they're still in this category regardless.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, I don't think durability is that much of a concern here. I personally wouldn't put this in my pocket at all, I wouldn't daily drive it, I'd mostly use it in controlled environments like the home or the office, I'd keep it in a bag and a sleeve case or just outside hanging. But that's the case for the typical fold, too. While this does compromise it's durability more, again, it's slightly more practical, slightly better in terms of novelty, and opens up to a more usable screen size. But i would never rely on any of these for my daily driver other than mayyybe some kind of a flip style phone. I would NOT bring any of these to a construction site or into nature or what not.
@auspiciouslywild Its sort of akin to a designer bag in a sense. If you need a bag that's a terrible choice, but if you need a novelty and a statement, that's a perfect choice. Same here, these ridiculous cutting edge devices are mainly just for fun, they're not good at being smartphones in general but they're fun and cool pieces of tech to just kinda have. And again in that sense I'd rather have this kind of a phone which I'd actually want to use open unlike the Google Pixel Fold or the Galaxy Fold where the aspect ratio is horrendous for movies or videos. For a phone mainly intended to be a luxury purchase this one is pretty much excellent!! For a phone intended to be used as a phone it's probably the worst possible choice on the market, worse than those knock off wish phones since those are at least cheap.
*Huawei in Sep 2024:* adding 2 extra screens.
* Apple in Sep 2024:* adding 2 extra buttons.
Let me correct you it's only one extra button not two😂😂😂😂😂😂
@No0ne_55 yes…but on the standard 16 models (compared to their predecessor) - they now have got an Action button & a Camera Control button - both new 😂
Adding more price in comparison you could own 3 flagship phones.
Even people in China made fun of the design
Lol 😂
Why ft would you need 3x screen when u have tablet/laptop
Same criticism every time year over year
1. extra care to fold
2. extra care for screen
3. expensive
1.Dont be dumb.Have spacial awareness
2.Same as 1
3.Dont be broke
JK, I wouldn't buy it either if I had the kind of money to buy it.
@SiegfriedFafnirsbane The screen can basically be scratched with fingernails. Safe to say this is not a normal "just use common sense" situation. It's way too fragile for normal use. Hopefully the next generations can improve durability significantly.
same criticism, but a lot more valid.
single folds have a massive reinforced hinge, on the better brands these are almost impossible to break by force. here they have to be thin and fragile.
single folds don't expose the vulnerable screen when it is the most at risk, this one does.
and price, roughly $900 per segment seems consistent at least.(but this is based on dated tech and shady apps due to trade restrictions)
Oh yeah don't kid yourself the first time you drop this thing it's cooked!
got my huaweii and my screen folds fine going on 3 months now.. best device ever $$$$ means nothing to me I get what I want when I want to ill never buy samjunk Samsungs fold crap
This is basically Ipad Foldable
2:25 - the anxiety i get from how he's holding those
"eww an apple product, how disgusting 🤮"
I know 😮
@z12as?
@-naturalperson-5587 ??
But actually it's less likely to break compared to phones, thanks to smaller weight/area ratio.
Huawei was so good they banned
So true
phone ksm jisne subscribe nhi kiya wo pakka exam me fail ho gaye ga😅😂
😭
Yeah
Agreed I think them becoming was more than a reason to be banned than them being a Chinese brand
Apple : our phone doesnt fold.
Samsung : Our phone can fold
Huwawei :
Huwawei: 😅
It also breaks very easily. 😂😂😂
Look at chinese channels exposing this phone in china. It is not good.
I wish it was good. But it's not. You have the inner screen folding outwards.
Really? Really. Really... come on now. Really? 😂
Our fold can phone
Can fold twice 😂
🗿🗿🗿
It's amazing to see how innovative Huawei is even after they have been banned.
Indeed very impressive
I'm impressed with their technology and innovation. But my God their phones are so expensive, but with mediocre specs. I had the Mate Xs 2 before and it was a disappointment for how much it costs.
had the huawei nova 5t before, that phone was a BEAST when it released. the Google ban crippled it so hard the Huawei stores basically closed down in countries outside of China. I don't hear anyone using Huawei anymore.... that's unfortunate
🎯Spot on.. So true! 👌
Bro thinks there is only america in the world
Biggest advantage in my opinion is that you certainly don't waste screen on the back side of the device. Cuts down cost and reduces components inside to make it slimmer. I think the most downside of this device is still typical for foldable devices... they come with a very scratchable screen and a fragile hinge.
I think that if a company like samsung made one, with access to US companies and their tech, they could make a really good one that would appeal to the masses, the only issue that would arise would be the price
Yeah, the durability is what really needs some work. I generally replace my phone every 3-4 years, and I'm afraid with a foldable I'll want to replace it much sooner, even though I take very good care of my electronics. I feel the screen getting all mucked up and the hinges getting loose/weak over time would push me to buy more more often, and of course: at much more money!
@hailcat7027 I actually have a z flip 5 and it's gonna turn a year old this Christmas, I'd say it's holding up pretty well but then again, I did have the get the front screen replaced due to a mistake that I made. However, the hinge and the actual large screen are fine, I'm gonna hang on to this phone for 2-3 more years, so only time will tell how well this phone does
@hailcat7027 I also believe that companies should stop prioritising making phones slimmer if it's at the cost of overall quality of the device, my z flip 5 with my case on is just over 2cm thick unfolded and I would be comfortable with a phone as thick as this (obviously it would be thicker with a case but I still wouldn't mind it) I think that if Huawei or samsung made a 2-2.5cm trifold that was amazing in build quality and hardware and software, not many people would mind it
Officials have tested millions of folds without damage.
The phone's main charger has a lower wattage than the car charger they've provided because the car charger has more than one port on it. So you have to increase the wattage on the car charger if you're going to have more than one port on it.
The car charger has three ports and the wall brick has 2
@Yapperplays Then I stand corrected when it comes to the number of ports on the main charger. But, it still doesn't change the fact that the more ports a charger has, the higher the wattage. Since each port has its own maximum amount of wattage. For example; if one charger has two ports and a maximum wattage of 65 watts. With the USB 3.0 port having 20W and the USB C has 45W, then that charger has a total of 65W. And if you add another port, then the total wattage will have to increase for each port added to that particular charger.
@casp3rplayzz So? I literally said "I stand corrected". Why are you going so hard on a mistake I made? I literally said I made a mistake, and yet you're still talking about the mistake I made after I corrected myself. TF?
@LMProductions99 sorry i didnt mean it that badly.
The real reason is a lot simpler. You charge for less time in your car, basically on your journey. So it's higher wattage to get you more juice. The charger at home is more of an overnight charger. So it's lesser.
It makes sense to have more power on the car charger since those are shorter rides hence less charging time, if you are at home you would have it plugged in for longer
it doesn't make sense to include 12V charger as modern cars have already built in USBs and wireless charging pads for years
@KryptosatanTemnozor yea and all them USB ports and wireless charging pads can do 88W. 🤡
@KryptosatanTemnozor so low
@KryptosatanTemnozor that’s beside the point, it goes back to the basis of “since you are doing it already, at least make it make sense”.
Do remember you could use that as well for many other car accessories. For the price point of the phone I doubt your car doesn’t have all those gadgets built in already, but the Chinese market is something very different and weird 😂
Only supports up to 66w. Users with this phone will have other Huawei flagships.
The other main benefit is no creepy google!
@6:25 then look at your phone and see that your wife has changed her status from married to single 😂
6:30 was crazy
The typical fold stuff is perfect for emulating old games or watching older stuff (as I tend to), still niche but it's got more going for it instead of just multitasking
also good for youtube and twitch, full access to comments and chat in portrait with a fullscreen sized video window.
FINALLY someone else says it. The immediate nostalgia I naturally stumbled upon (and hadn't even considered when I got my One Plus Open) when I first played one of my games was such an awesome feeling. It's like I have a futuristic Game Boy Advance SP and I love it. I even still have my SP and out of curiosity I side by sided it; it was honestly crazy similar and made me so much happier to have the actual validation lol
Truee
And it especially fits for the ds and 3ds
I swear I would open it the wrong way first time I got my hands on it!😅
6:22 Poor wife😭
Arun about to be sleeping on the couch
Arun folding his phone instead of his his wife😭😭
@Ternius23 bro 💀
😂😂😂😂😂
Is that not his sister ?
4:59 the screen protection is still just soft plastic right ? I would be too scared to scratch the screen to even attempt doing that xD
recover tempered glass problem 😮😮😢😢😢
"You turn over to your wife- sorry phone"
@NotVixios underrated
4:14 I can use it with 3 hands like this
😂😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I can use it with 4 hands like this: 🫱🫲🫱🫲
3:07 JerryRigsEverything over to you🌝
I still find it weird how it has 1 screen for some reason I thought it had two
"Your wife, sorry, your phone" 😂
actually made me laugh
2:36 my heart is pounding, COULD YOU USE MORE THAN 2 FINGERS TO HOLD SOMETHING THAT EXPENSIVE?!
I was thinking the same thing! lol 😅
It’s no coincidence that most top tech RUclipsrs are covering this device in a short amount of time
I like my zfold 5 but i donr like how when u ippen it to video u have to reset size of app so apl restarts
5:45 stock android does that the same way on a tablet
12:16 it absolutely gets rid of the "invincible" selfie stick
You don't need to get rid of anything if it's invisible
@yfiles700 that's exactly my point
Would loooovvve if we could get this phone! The future of phone brands!
2 cables ?! Now it's easy worth this 5000$. Man i never had 5000$ savings in my life
It looks likeArun listens to critics lol.
people were saying his video had an unwanted high energy which made the videos not watchable,
but this video was amazing with minimalism, and just talking normally without unnecessary screams.
Good job bro
I was searching for this 😂
He needs to get back on phone reviewing 🦧
Nah bro, he's doing too much atp
+1. i hate screaming youtubers
What?? Arun isn’t a screamer
6:46 is the truth about most foldables. I have the Galaxy Fold 5 and use it folded despite being narrow a lot of the time. I'll open if i want to multitask, watch a video full screen, game, or show someone something
Yo, the way he matched the theme color to his hoodie is sick!
"you turn over to your wit sorry phone"🤣😂🤣😂
0:57 because on the go you want quicker charges than at home. Big brain logic move right there
yeah understand. But what if u forget to charge and need quick charg ein the morning?
i seen video on youTube huawei mate xt extreme drop test and it survive insanely many drops with no problem :)
You're answering the question, "Why is the auto charger 88W?" but not the question, "Why isn't the home charger 88W?" I assume the answer is cost.
@PeteC62 and because battery health. But that's a given thing
@MileyGaia What a terrible thing to lose.
Turn over to your wife.. sorry.. phone. 💀💀💀
That's what I was gonna comment 😭
Try tecno its been over a year since youve seen the camon 20
The fold creases trigger my OCD, hard.
from the screen to the screen to the screen... - KSI
wake up every morning with a spring in your step
turn over to your wife : No
turn over to your phone : Yes
🤣🤣🤣
If Huawei had official google support and the chips they will probably be far ahead of competition for sure when thinking about their good old products. It's a shame that people do not get to experience some cool items though...
That is the main reason they got banned
bcuz huawei doesnt invent they steal lmao
@Spiritasq from who exactly?
@Spiritasq who? and whod the steal the trifold from?
@Spiritasqthey literally invented the tri-fold with such thinness, a type C charger is thicker than the phone when unfolded, you're brainwashed to a point where you think you're a free thinker 🤡
You can listen to 2 remixes of an original song with the orignal playing
No he didn't 🤣🤣🤣06:18
The actual Z fold
7:49 16 GB ram🗿
The start made me think this was a old mrwhosetheboss video, only realized because of the iphone 16
7:54 "The repair cost for this piece alone ARE a thousand dollars"
....that hurt my ears
Did he say Zee? Isn't Arun in the UK? 9:27
He says it that way for the Americans
4:45 “damn I look good” caught me off guard 😂😂😂
The screens must be plastic not glass.
2:40 the answer is 2024
😂
Genius
nah, it's 3024 lol
🙀🙀🙀
Good job. You can give yourself a pat on the back
10:57 Warzone Mobile has terrible optimisation. Even flagships can barely run the game 😂
It expect it to open if im paying 5000 dollars , when i could have bought a 32 gig ram pc and wayyy more
Hey , sam I watch ur videos
@BattaCham Remember, this isnt retail price. Retail is $2800, way cheaper than every single iphone flagship ($3800) and samsung foldable ($4000)
Greetings from Z Tri Fold👀
this one much better
@junhs2597 nah my bro, Call off duty can't even entered😅
This one looks more beautiful
@SalimSalim-zz4kkyes looks beautiful but can't response to play call off duty😬
It’s correct
I would be so scared of snapping it at the fold
6:26 - Sorry wife 😭😭😂
I bet this will be remembered as a legendary phone in upcoming years for doing this.
I love Arun but he just needs to give Huawei the credit without trying to talk down on them. The downsides are better than most new phones. They are innovative and creative and actually did something new.
Love? Irritating
I'm in love with that color
A lot of people said it provides a feeling of the big red doors of the Chinese palace, or a royal doc :)
How to put a tempered glass and case on these foldable phones ?
that thing flexy😭😭
i have more likes than i do subs😭😭
💀
💀
fr😭
like sister
Samsung came up with the prototype 3 years ago, didn't enter mass production as screen was easily scratchabe. Huawei seems to not have addressed that issued and produced another knock off.
i was like why tf is he not talking about zfold 7.. then i saw this video is 9 months old 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me too
Feel like the main issue is how thin it has to be. You have to sacrifice so much like battery, speakers and more to get that feel
Exactly
They also sacrificed durability. It's already self destroying in China. Scalpers can't even sell them at profit anymore...
It has a 5600mah battery
@Blockthecreeper it still is quite bad besides other tablets have 8000mah battery
@NøshikiYTyeah thats true, but at the same time it has phone software optimization which is often more optimized regarding the battery life.
I'm not late, just rewatching the video, but imagine if they make a quad folding screen phone 😭
3:15 Real ones remember when Arun said in his Thinnest Smartphone video that the thinnest one at the time was 4.75mm, and that he envisions a 3.75mm smartphone in the future.
Look where we are now - even thinner!
Spends $5k on a phone to make a video about it, certified business move
Who said he spent it ? That might be a review product from Huawei directly, or he will return the phone after
@phantom0590 He said it. He purchased it from a scalper.
@phantom0590he usually always buys the phones himself and keeps it in his collection which he has showed multiple times
He literally said he bought it from scalpers @phantom0590
@phantom0590he did
Love your videos
can anyone give me the link of game that Aron is playing at 11:12
Im glad you enthuse about the great parts as well as commenting on the problems. Only negativity smothers overall growth and improvement - and tends to make any opinion appear less reliable.
I need someone to give this to JerryRigEverything... For scientific purposes
Edit: well its turns out youtube didn't send me the notification for the video
He has uploaded a video on it already bud
😂😂
Already uploaded!!!
Time is ahead of you!
Your wish has been granted human!
4 folds, anyone?
10
NAH 40
😂😂😂
50 folds into octagon shape
I call it pho-ragami
turning mistakenly from the wife before the phone is absolutely hilarious 😅
Competing is good and healthy for progress, for the most part
but just imagine what 11:40 those 3 could do if they worked together
teamwort makes THAT dream reality we couldve had a quad fold by next year
if we wouldnt already got the STARK tech goin ....
Another excellent review plus 1,000 points for including, "multiplicative"
The engineering behind this is incredible... huawei has truly pushed the boundaries
😅😅😅
Umm..the tech for it was stolen from Samsung actually
@Vortex51x 哈哈,原来三星有三折叠的技术啊,三星自己知道吗?
Yo I just got the fold 7 and I feel outdated watching this
Watch this whole video just to now be actually be looking into buy that insta360 thing. Looks so cool
also made in China
HE GOT YOU HAHAHA
"this is all they can do", "Huawei tech is frozen in that time?" You have no idea
This is what happen when someone made up their opinion about something before they even see them in reality. He had made up his mind beforehand that Huawei is not good enough or cannot be good enough after the US banned them out of jealousy.
@CGGS_0what hardware are you talking about mate?
Yeah he doesn't know Huawei makes so much more than phones.
Man all ya'll are bots lmao, who the hell even uses this phone? 😂 This phone looks like a scuffed android pretending it's great wearing fake gucci, and even then i'd rather waste my money on an iphone instead of a hwawei or whatever you spell it
@ARCH1V3Syou sound black
6:21 I learned a new idiom today, "a spring in your step". 🙂
Definition: If you walk with a spring in your step, you move quickly and happily.
Example sentence: As he walked into the office that morning, there was a spring in his step.
Definition and example credits: Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English
Good for you buddy 👍
Thank you sir 😁
If you really want a good time say "sparkle in your eye and spring in your step"
I finished the video and I am still waiting to hear what the sinister thing that is going on with the phone ?
Just sellotape 3 s24 ultras together and bang! Oh wait that's like even more money
10:17 It doesn't matter if the chips get better every year when the rest of the phone is the exact same. Kinda weird for saying that's a negative against Huawei when Apple and Samsung release the same phones every year.
This review was from a jealous point of view..
Chips are fast nowadays, it's just marketing that has remained and people still fall for that..
I'd happily settle for current decent specs like 120 hz display, 4k resolution 50mp camera etc for next decade but an increase in battery charge holding from one day to a week at least. Dont care about each year they release slightly better phone faster by 1 second from previous model but battery lasting still barely one day
@MrCarnivoure exactly. So much R&D used for better faster more efficient chips, but still no 3-day battery iPhones.
Didn't they release the same phones every year until a month ago?
@NBGUYVER changing up the phone every 4 or 5 years is exactly what Mr Boss is saying Hauwei HAS to do because of dated chips. Apple and Samsung doing the same would mean they're more similar than he makes them seem. That was the point of my comment.
If huawei was never banned then it would have conquered the smartphone Market
I doubt it😂😂
@isocarboxazid 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Well why do you think Tim cook got Trump to ban Huawei. Samsung and Google was already enough for apple to stop innovating 😂
@BeyondTheMotive Huawei was literally in No. 1 spot back in 2019. it was dominating the smartphone market.
They were already conquering the market, surpassing Samsung at some point.
I have the z fold 4. It's been replaced once because of screen bleeding at the fold
5:24 did u put the old grandpa filter??
Damage 100
💀💀💀
LMAO 😭
10:34 *Cough Cough* Apple.
Yeah, he should have just said it!
Yea
And Samsung lol
Samsung aswell
@Jason-se6dh No
At least they did their best
I have seen the fold phone in different sizes but unfortunately they haven't tested them only the ones that fold in half
Some things to note:
1. This design is definitely a step into the innovative direction since it's the first of its kind. It's to be expected that there are issues with the first gen.
2. At the time of the launch there were around 6 million pre-orders in China. So that's already several billions of dollars. The next gen of this phone is basically already financed.
3. Huawei's main focus isn't actually phones. Their main focus is on hardware, specifically for telecommunication. Think of cellphone towers, 5G (and now even 6G) technology, etc. They are also making their own cars now. And it wouldn't surprise me if Huawei is also creating tech for the Chinese military just like how Samsung is doing that for the South Korean military.
I do find it funny how Arun mentions that if they didn't make this phone, they would just be releasing the same phone again and again. Isn't that what Apple is doing?
yep, in reality it's apple releasing the same phone over and over again 😂 meanwhile, look at how different huawei's mate and P series are each year -huawei does not just recycle the same boring hardware design like what apple does ✅💯
You didn't comprehend what Arun said then. That's a you problem.
@FallenRaven You must have watched a different video then. Go back to 10:19 and listen to what he says. You might disagree with me in regards to what I think Apple is doing though and that's fair. I just feel like Apple releases the same phone each year with maybe just 5% of different features. Keep in kind that Huawei's scope of business is much larger than what Apple does.
Isn't the latest iPhone chipset still gonna be considerably better than the latest Huawei chip tho
@Dogflamingo Yeah but we are not comparing 2 different brands with each other. If you compare newer iphones with slightly older ones (iphone 16 vs 15, 14, 13) then you also see marginal improvements. Especially the 12 -> 13 -> 14 lineup had very small changes between them.
The same can be said about the Huawei mate series. Very small changes going from one to the other. So this new Huawei phone is completely different from the other ones. And not to mention that Huawei makes many more different models of phones than Apple does.
2:51 Samsung's latest Z Fold is now the Special Edition, which is 10.6mm when folded.
How is it called a triple folding phone when the phone actually only has 2 folds in the phone
Valid af
It should be called triple screen phone not 3 folds
How about a phone like galaxy s24 that comes with a big size screen and u just connect it to it
I like how Arun is one of the few youtubers, who, as they got bigger they’re production value increased, but they don’t feel like a big corporation, *cough* mr beast *cough*.
😂😂😂😂😂
the thumbnail of this video has entered the chat
They are all just billboards used by the companies.
Not yet
Is Huawei being punished for what they're accused of or just being bullied by Apple & Samsung?
0:12 The sinister thing is banning Huawei
Its an arm of the chinese government. Yes it's going to be banned lol china already gives us hell with how much hacking they do imagine willingly having millions of phones they don't even need to hack to spy. America is in a cyber war with china so it won't make things easier for them. Same reason it wanted to get rid of tik tok and temu
lol
the sinister thing is the CCP having total reign over Huawei, their data and therefore _your_ data.
He hit the fact on the nose. It's tech frozen in time. Kirin is 4 generations behind, so the only thing they can do is play with more hinges to appear to be doing something.
The 3 fold thing is bad luck in China, the rich business types have stopped buying them as it's a sign of cursing the very politicians who are gifted these things by rich businessmen
Nahh banning Huawei was a blessing Lmfao! 😂
6:30 The wife catching strays😭
