Brother of Drug Lord Pablo Escobar Launches 'Unbreakable' Foldable Smartphone

'Roberto Escobar, brother of the late drug lord Pablo Escobar, has
announced a foldable smartphone that is "very difficult to break"
thanks to the screen's "special type of plastic." The Escobar Fold 1,
as it is called, significantly undercuts Samsung's Galaxy Fold and
Huawei Mate X with a price of only $349. Neowin reports:

While all the foldable phones announced so far have a price tag of at
least $1,500+, the Escobar Fold 1 will be available from only $349
which includes free shipping and a case as well. It will be sold
unlocked and work on all compatible networks worldwide. This makes it
cheaper than other non-foldable flagship smartphones available in the
market right now.

The drug lord's brother has been able to price the phone so low by
cutting out the middlemen like networks and retailers. He is also
preparing to file a $30 billion class-action lawsuit against Apple for
scamming people and wants the company to "give some of their illegal
profits back to the people." Like the Huawei Mate X, the Escobar Fold
can be unfolded to turn it into a tablet with a screen size of
7.8-inches. The expanded AMOLED display has a 4:3 aspect ratio and an
FHD+ resolution. The design language is different from the Samsung
Galaxy Fold which features two separate displays, one of which folds.
