[@Orwellian-Purple-Grapes-1984]

​​​​@@WuJiZhang-wc9mc We can't fully rely on Huawei in the west, because we're locked into the ecosystem of American companies that will never migrate over to HarmonyOS. Besides, even if consumers want to switch over, our poodle governments will never allow it to happen, considering they have banned Huawei from contributing to building out the 5G networks here. It's probably much easier for developing countries to switch over to HarmonyOS, as they still have room to create a more autonomous ecosystem, not reliant on American monopolistic tech companies. But it will depend on their governments preserving in not bending over to the White House.

I have given up on my iphones; I used to have iphone 4, iphone 5, iphone 6plus, iphone 7plus, iphone XR but have given these up as the prices for iphone is going through the roof for a tiny screen.

Congrats to Huawei for thinking outside of the box and always being innovative. This Mate XT Ultimate Design phone is amazing. I just checked and Huawei has 4 million pre-orders even at its US$3,000 price tag. So obviously, there’s a demand/market for this product. Of course I fully understand that there’s never a product that’s right for everyone. Just like fast food chains; some like McDonalds, some like Burger King, some like KFC, some don’t like at all. The Mate XT has a cover screen of 6.4 inches, bi-fold 7.9 inches, tri-fold 10.2 inches. It can fold inward or outward. It has 4 cameras; one being a periscope telephoto camera. Besides the tri-folding design, it has AI features, satellite communications, stylus support, and keyboard attachment. Like you said, Andy, it’s like an iPhone, iPad and laptop all-in-one; nice and compact. I travel a lot and do business on the go. I carry my cell phone in my pocket and my laptop in a shoulder carrying bag everywhere I go. It’s inconvenient to pass thru airport security where I have to take my laptop out of the case and turn on the computer for security check.

The main obstacle for Huawei is global adoption, particularly due to the impact of US geopolitical policies. They've faced tariffs and restrictions on Google connectivity, which have hindered their progress. However, trends indicate that Huawei could dominate markets in other regions. In the future, consumers may prefer fewer devices; if one phone can serve as a replacement for standard foldable phones and tablets, it could shift preferences from other brands to Huawei. Many people have already moved away from carrying multiple devices like MP3 players, DSLRs, digital cameras, watches, and calculators. Therefore, it’s not surprising to see tablets and laptops potentially facing a similar decline.

The two fold does not give 16:9 video format or an A4 proportion for typing. It is vastly more compact than tablets and mini tablets. They would sell like hot cakes, if it were not for the price. America's economic wars are killing low priced high technology.

@@blcsfo you remind of these fanboys who I have to deal with. Last year, I had one colleague who tried to sell my supervisor his iWatch 6 for £500, claiming them to cost £800. Told that fanboy he could’ve got a 1990s TAG Heuer 6000 chronograph for that amount. He went on the typical fanboy rant about technology. I told him who wants a smartwatch that is absolutely worthless in a few years time. The depreciation of those are nastier to those by Garmin.

The function of a watch is to tell "time". One can get a good watch as cheap as $10. Ask yourself: why is there a market for watches that are in thousands and even tens of thousands of dollars? If you knew the answer, then just applied that to mobile phone. And by the way, a home is just a roof over one's head, why super mansions , selling in millions of dollars, are still selling?

Apps for computer, tablet and mobile phone may have the same name, but they do not always offer the same functions. Manufacturers sell hardware but it's the Apps that we use that do the work. Software has been very much neglected by manufacturers, and new operating systems often cannot run our favourite Apps. The cost of software more than doubles the price of the hardware. Modern haptics, like hold a tap a millisecond to long, and we don't know where we are. Add in the plethora of advertising and redirections and the device no longer works satisfactorily. I spent days trying to book two hotels, I could not preview without divulging private details, I could not get the addresses and locations, and I could not get contact details, phone numbers and email addresses. What I do get are lots of advertisements after the event for my next trip. A real nuisance.
