Huawei Mate XT is the tri-fold phone, a concept come to lifeShoutout to dbrand for finding a way to buy this thing. They make skins for other phones: http://...

Was watching this video on the “tri-fold” phone by MKBHD and that thing is thicc! I don’t care about folds, but I can’t find a single phone without a fold phone that is that thick. The battery life would be amazing…

    Why are we OK with thick folding phones, but not with thick no-folds?

    i think by “we” you mean the manufacturers? AFAICT they just gave away the game: the push for thin phones was more from the supply side than the demand side. not saying people don’t generally prefer thin phones – just that the preference is probably weaker than has been made out to be.

    that said, i think it’s more fair to compare things like cubic volume and weight than just the thinness. a 1/2" thick full-size phone would be uncomfortable in my pocket, whereas a 1/2" thick wallet-sized phone might actually be more comfortable than a traditional smartphone.
