  • High performance from in-house Xring O3 chip
  • Good three-camera setup with telephoto
  • Excellent battery life, around 26 hours WLAN test
  • No eSIM support
  • No 6 GHz WLAN
  • Software limitations and unclear update delivery
  • Poor speakers lacking bass
  • Poor Live View in the dark; display flickering may bother sensitive users

9/10Oct 13, 2026

A striking, well-proportioned foldable with a strong telephoto camera and battery, held back by uneven software, sustained thermal throttling, and China-only availability.

  • Distinctive passport-style proportions and cherry red finish
  • Large 6,000mAh battery with fast wired and wireless charging
  • Capable 3.5x periscope telephoto camera
  • Strong everyday performance from XRing O3 chip
  • Large, useful 7.58-inch inner display
  • HyperOS software needs polish and multitasking refinement
  • Inconsistent third-party app optimization for foldable screens
  • Thermal throttling during extended demanding workloads
  • No stylus support
  • China-only availability with warranty and support trade-offs

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
