This ‘G’ Tri-Fold Phone Bends in Ways That Make Me Uncomfortable

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-09-11 21:00:49

Darwinian evolution is speedrunning foldable phone development. “Z”-style folds from companies like the Huawei Mate XT collapse in a zig-zag pattern, exposing one side of the screen to the elements. The new alternate universe tri-fold could be Tecno’s Phantom Ultimate G Fold concept phone that literally wraps around itself like a big “G.” This actually may be the better way to do tri-folds, but Samsung would need to think long and hard about device integrity if it’s using this same design for it

I’m sufficiently old and grumpy to have resisted the use of emoji for a long time, wondering what was wrong with, you know, words – but I did find myself assimilated in the end.

Stellantis, the automotive giant behind Chrysler, Citroen, Fiat, Jeep and Peugeot, is pulling out of hydrogen.
