A photo of TCL\u2019s tri-fold smartphone concept<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Spotted in the wild in the hands of Huawei CEO, it seems like the Tri-Fold smartphone may just end up becoming a reality. Whether we need one is an entirely separate question (has that truly ever stopped tech companies?), so let\u2019s ask ourselves something more relevant \u2013 How would you design a protective case for this new breed of smartphone?<\/p>\n

A brief recap on the phone itself \u2013 photos of Richard Yu, CEO of Huawei, emerged last week holding a strange smartphone. It was a foldable, but unlike conventional flip or fold phones, this one had three panels with two hinges (sort of like this wild Samsung concept from 2020). Dubbed the tri-fold, this phone managed to get quite a bit of coverage on the internet, with people speculating tech specs, launch dates, and even one Twitter (or X) user<\/a> wagering a price of $4000 USD. Nevertheless, when I saw the phone, I had three distinct thoughts in this exact order.<\/p>\n

A. Wow, that\u2019s an impressively thin tri-fold phone.
\nB. Is there really a market for this?
\nC. There\u2019s absolutely no way you can make a case or screen guard for this phone.<\/p>\n
