From the PR materials that i have seen, the Escobar Fold looks like a golden Royole Flexpai. I think that it is not notable because it is just a variant of the royole, maybe it deserves a place in the article about the royole, but not its own article. Pancho507 ( talk) 13:04, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- Keep The largest media in the world covered this phone launch, hence it passes WP:GNG and therefore is relevant to remain on Wikipedia. Certain legal disputes and what not, or if something is similar to other products on the market, does not adhere to a reasoning for a deletion of a Wikipedia article. There are many technologies which are similar to one and another, especially in today's day and age. There are now a dozen major references in the article, and I suggest users help to add more detailed information on the page. An isolated Google search reveals About 698,000 results (0.34 seconds). That is certainly more than enough for a smartphone. As far as the "Royole Flexpai", an isolated Google Search of same reveals About 228,000 results (0.30 seconds) .

- keep Even the launch publicity itself passes WP:GNG due to the amount of commentary published on the topic. Though it may be that the PR launch will be the only notable thing about this. If there was a merge it may as well go to Escobar Inc. If there is a source for the royole connection then certainly mention it there. Graeme Bartlett ( talk) 22:03, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
- Comment the escobar fold looks like a royole flexpai, however here they claim that royole actually stole escobar's idea. The problem is, how was royole able to steal it? And If royole stole it, then why nobody talked about that upon the royole's release? (Btw, royole was founded with the purpose of making flexible displays and they (and other foldable phone manufacturers) have spent several years developing their product (motorola spent 4, huawei 3 and samsung 8) and gearing up for production, so i don't believe that royole actually stole it. plus, how do you get a random chinese OEM manufacturer to make a product (for escobar) that is still in its infancy? A quick search in alibaba shows no foldable displays for sale, and for me that is a sign that Escobar Inc. is plagiarizing the royole flexpai, because it is not easy for anyone to just buy a foldable display and assemble a foldable phone. And if it really was escobar's idea, then why they didn't sue royole before or shorly after the royole was released?) Escobar inc also claims that Elon Musk's boring company stole their idea of selling a flamethrower (here as well) and escobar's attitude is childish and not professional at all, and that is fishy for me. (Legal methods for replacing Elon Musk as CEO of Tesla? How?
