Sounds like a really neat idea. Most clamshell foldables have a third screen, that's used when the device is closed, but faces backwards when open. This design makes use of that.

However I feel, just like with an iPad, 10 inches is too much to hold in one hand comfortably.

A 10 inch tablet....wow Honestly i just hope that the 2800 price tag comes with a god tier warranty. (just remember, in America it would be something like 2200 because tax is included)

The VAT in China is 13%, I believe. So the price before tax is around $2,475.

And, also: Is it just me or, with all these "foldables" and (resulting) screen form-factors ...

... are we not seeing as wide (and diverse) a variety of screen aspect rations as ever? (For good or bad).-

The video makes it look like it has a display when folded (1/3 of the unfolded display), so I assume unfolding is optional.
