TCL’s Project Chicago is the latest design for folding phones, but The launch of this mobile phone has been postponed indefinitely for reasons everyone is familiar with.
Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 has already pushed the folding machine to a price of early 30,000 yuan. TCL Project Chicago, which also uses a shell folding design, was originally expected to target a lower price band of 700 to 900 US dollars, which is equivalent to about 20,000 to 25,000 Taiwan dollars. However, due to COVID-19 and global chip shortages, coupled with rising costs, which do not meet TCL’s strategy of cutting into lower prices, it has been decided to extend the launch of this mobile phone indefinitely.
