Huawei's tri-foldable phone hits global markets in a show of defiance amid US curbs (apnews.com)

Huawei on Tuesday held a global launch for the industry’s first tri-foldable phone, which analysts said marked a symbolic victory for the Chinese tech giant amid U.S. technology curbs. But challenges over pricing, longevity, supply and app constraints may limit its success.

Huawei said at a launch event in Kuala Lumpur that the Huawei Mate XT, first unveiled in China five months ago, will be priced at 3,499 euros ($3,662). Although dubbed a trifold, the phone has three mini-panels and folds only twice. The company says it’s the thinnest foldable phone at 3.6 millimeters (0.14 inches), with a 10.2-inch screen similar to an Apple iPad.

For what its worth, my galaxy flip 5 is over 2 years by now and have no issues whatsoever. I also work in construction so it is by no means pampered. Ive had regular phones break earlier than this have held up now.

I've got the Honor Magic V3, it's the 2 panel version of the OP device. I've had it for 6 months now, no complaints so far. I'm a stone mason, loooooots of super fine dusts of varying degrees of caustic. I got a slightly more robust case than what came with it, and I'm a bit more careful about what pocket I keep it in. I've dropped it over a dozen times, and mangled the hinge on one case already. But like you, I've had regular phones start failing around now, and this one is still fine. I feel like the first and 2nd gen foldables were where most of the kinks were worked out, and now they're only slightly more delicate in very specific ways compared to a regular slab phone.

That's not bad, given your profession. You got a case on it? Just curious since I always get a case with a new phone.

I do use a case, nothing special, just some random chinese plastic. I also keep it wrapped in plastic protectors, both on the back and front, and tend to switch them out when it begins to look scuffed.

So far it looks kinda brand new besides the edges that have some actual scuff marks, i tend to drop it frequently lol
