The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 has almost single-handedly revived momentum in the folding smartphone space. So what if a company came along with a similar foldable, for a couple hundred dollars cheaper?

Sadly, this particular device will never get further than that “what if” phase. TCL's first clamshell-style foldable will never go on sale, and as such is still known only by the code name its manufacturer gave it: Chicago. In this episode of "Into The Fold," I'll take you on a notional tour of what might have been, and I'll explain why the TCL Chicago still matters to the folding-phone world!
