Huawei has just announced a September 10 event where the company is set to launch the world’s first tri-fold smartphone which, apparently, has a 10-inch display.

Seems like a really cool idea. Two problems.

It will be heavy and fragile.

How does it stay locked in the tablet form? Will you be able to use it without it folding? And if it does lock, how does it unlock and how tiny and fragile are those locks going to be?

Why would it need to lock? It's no different than a normal foldable in that regard, the hinges are firm and hold in the position you put it.

With something that large and the hinges folding in opposite directions one will want to fold when you are pressing on the screen.

Huh? Each hinge will be doing exactly the same thing as every other foldable for the last 5 years.

Except it's bigger and heavier and zero foldables have had two opposing hinges. But OK.
