TCL's accordion style smartphone prototype is looking to change the definition of foldables with a form factor comprised of three screens. The Chinese manufacturer has employed two hinges in the design, where each one folds in the opposite direction, ending up like a combination of the Galaxy Fold and Mate X in one package.

The 10-inch tablet uses a patented "dragon" hinge and a butterfly hinge that results in one fold always appearing on the outside, negating the need for an external display like that on Samsung's foldable. The phone also gets rather chunky when the device folds completely, doing away with any thinness as the body looks like three phones glued together.

A hands-on by CNET shows a non-working prototype with creases visible in the bends.
Given that the phone's production is yet to be green-lit, the price can be expected to trump, if not match the current competition.
