Wow. Just wow. I keep looking at this thing in awe. I'll be honest, I'm so afraid to take it outside that it's becoming ridiculous. Not that it's flimsy. Sturdiest hinge ever. Very satisfyingly stiff. I've linked for unboxing and first impressions video with some pics.

Good points:

The hinge, stiffer than any other hinge I've ever experienced on a phone, only time will tell if it remains so.

The aspect ratio! What more needs to be said about this?! Finally. That tablet in your pocket experience will not get old fast at all. It's been in its fully open state 95% of the time. Watching movies like an addict, youtube, websites, this phone has ruined all other phones for me.

The screen, crisp with it's deep blacks, 90Hz refresh rate and creases that are there but can hardly be felt.

Cameras. Huawei didn't skimp at all on these cameras! The 10x zoom I'm sure isn't an optical zoom but it sure looks like it so far, amazing video quality too, further investigation needed.

Weight and thickness, not heavy to me at all and the thickness is not that much more than my Z Fold 6, concidering what you're getting it's absolutely acceptable.

Battery life, needs more time but it's not dropping as fast as I feared at all, pleasantly suprised and we have charge limits in the setting of 70, 80 and 90% For example with the screen fully opened right now I've use 17% battery at an hour and 40 minutes screen on time mostly browsing, typing on forums and 15 minutes of youtube, so not heavy stuff, impressed

The cons:

The price, sigh, it'd a beautiful device but not even worth Huawei's asking price let alone the extortionate reseller prices out there!!

Sound quality. It's mediocre so far and I don't feel it's loud enough. Average sound, very.

Not the latest and greatest chipset, oh well, seems to be OK for all my needs so far, only play games very little but it would have Been enn nice.

such an incredible level of tech.

only downside is the lack of support if something goes wrong. If we ever get this in global market for a brand like one plus or samsung which is the best bet to get good insurance plan

Yes definitely. Mine has a year warranty but it is a hassle getting it sent back to China for repair and so on
