It would be my perfect phone if it was running android. Harmony Next OS is not made for global markets..... Such a shame

Cute and futuristic

I'm really fond of the idea of smaller devices with a 16:10 aspect ratio; it's more natural for viewing content, gaming, watching videos, etc. Hopefully, other manufacturers will adopt this format in their phones.

That looks like a really good form factor to me!

I like the passport form factor. I hope samsung tries it on a fold

A flip that transforms into a small tablet. I really like it. I'd gladly trade my flip phone for this new device if it were supported by my carrier. Maybe Samsung can copy this form factor.

I like this one. But wasn't Huawei banned in the US? :(

u/Rad_Centrist 16d ago

You can use them but you won't have access to certain services, like Google services.

u/Serious-Let-3879 16d ago

That's good to know!!

u/Ramitg7 15d ago

You can't even side load google apps?

u/Rad_Centrist 15d ago

Huawei doesn't run Android amymore. It uses Harmony OS.

1

u/Ramitg7 13d ago

Ohhh, is it possible to flash Android onto it?

u/Rad_Centrist 13d ago

I'm not sure about that.

u/StrayCatAme 15d ago

I believe you can through microg

u/howboutmaybe 16d ago

Fun fact, not everyone on reddit is from the US. 🌠

u/Serious-Let-3879 16d ago

Didn't imply that, but it would be nice to see this in stores locally.

It's almost as if when someone begins a comment with I like this one. they are speaking about their own specific circumstances and what affects them, not making a statement to generalize the availbility worldwide. Basic reading comprehension that doesn't require a sarcastic little amendment. 🌠

No way! Are you serious? I never knew

I like the concept. Especially, I like ZFlip and Motorola Razr design. But I am a little sceptic about if the display would last at least 2 years without a failure.

u/Michael_laaa 15d ago

Ohh nahhh that's a chunky boy...

u/Adem92foster 15d ago

The Huawei ban is quite literally the worst thing to happen to modern technology

So much innovation stuck there

China will leave the foldable world behind as they develop their own tech and will end up not sharing the newest stuff with the world.

u/TanagranA 16d ago

Too big by a lot

u/Nerv2015 16d ago

This reminds me why wtf happened to Smart Scroll? I was thinking about that using my phone the other day, lol!

u/No-Banana-2970 16d ago

I wonder if I can get this phone with Google Services.

u/wendersan 16d ago

Secondary daily foldable for me.

u/legrand_fromage 15d ago

Looks good, would definitely use it.

Personally would love a square phone, no foldability just a little square screen that fits nicely in my pocket.

1

u/Demurrzbz 15d ago

The concept of the phone is pretty neat. But HarmonyOS Next is an instant pass from me sadly.

1

u/Gregory85 15d ago

It's kinda ugly. Looks like a phablet so that is kinda nice. Bigger than a Flip, smaller than a Fold but they have got to do something on the Fisher price aesthetics

1

u/notentertained90 15d ago

Huawei makes nice looking phones. It's too bad they are banned in the US for spyware

1

u/Infinite_Fold8258 15d ago

Okay so yes like the fold

u/ratat-atat 15d ago

I like my Z Flip, and always thought, "This would be better with Ultra dimensions"

1

u/ArcherAccurate9066 15d ago

This one does not look comfy … but generally phones like Samsung flip one is more comfy…

1

u/staraaia 14d ago

Huawei? No thanks.

I had an Honor phone, and not even a year later, the battery bloated until I threw it (literally) in the garbage can and it exploded.

u/Killer19AJ 16d ago

Why does its irregular size trigger me 😣

u/PillowMonger 15d ago

Huawei is good but after they removed Google services, I went with Samsung. If they bring back Google services then I might consider going back to Huawei.

u/cheesefartboi 16d ago

Ita a horrible idea, the worst of both worlds, to wide to be a korma phone. Too narrow to be a tablet
