Foldables is a new category in an attempt by manufacturers to fit a huge screen in a small body. This is a natural progression as manufacturers have sought to increase the screen size by curving it to the side, getting rid of a front-facing camera altogether, and not folding the entire screen. I have a whole article about foldables and you can read it here.
This is a refined version of Huawei’s Mate X. It definitely isn’t the first in the category as there is a Samsung Galaxy Fold, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip and Motorola Moto Razr. Escobar Fold 1 and Fold 2 exists but to this point, it has proven to be a scam and everyone should really avoid. They repackaged Royole FlexPai for Fold 1 and then added a Gold looking wrapper with Escobar branding on Samsung Galaxy Fold to make Fold 2 and sent out a few units.
