This feels like something LG would do. Like they're picking up where LG left off of like, hey, no one's done that swively thing yet, have they? Okay.
Speaker A
Yeah, now we are. So, here's the, yeah, the Huawei Flip Fold. I think it's an interesting idea. It's still a smallish phone. It's a 6.3-inch phone when you open it. So, you know how some of them are
Speaker A
like kind of gigantic, 6.7, 6.8, a 6.3 open. So, it's not as gigantic. So, I feel like there could be a smaller crowd that's into this idea. I think it's similar to the Samsung situation and the Razer. You have a big screen on the
Speaker A
outside, but you're not really meant to use it on the outside that much. It's more just like, I want to read an entire notification without it being cropped. I want to see, like, I might play a game on
Speaker A
the outside once in a while, but that's really kind of a niche thing. So, it's going to start off as China only. It's going to be the equivalent of about $1,000, similar to like Razer and Z Flip.
Speaker A
And it's probably not going to show up in the US anytime.
