Comment: On Wikipedia, for something to qualify for an article, need to prove WP:NOTABILITY through reliable sources (not blogs or retailing websites; things like newspapers) that are independently written (not press releases or significantly influenced by company in question) that discuss the product in question in significant detail (not just brief mentions). The Toyo Kezai website I think possibly meets that description, but the others are either passing mentions, blogs, press releases, or random retail websites. grapesurgeon (talk) 21:58, 11 April 2026 (UTC)Also there are some bugs in the article code that you should be able to spot; they're quite obvious. The short description should be invisible for example. Please fix those. grapesurgeon (talk) 21:59, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
{{Short description|The series of Korean Android smartphones, stylized to resemble a clamshell design of a classic mobile device}}
The Style Folder (Korean: 마이브 스타일 폴더) is series of Korean Android smartphones, stylized to resemble a clamshell design of a classic mobile device, initially released exclusively for a Korean market in 2022.[1] On the other hand, its successor, ALT Mive Style Folder 2, was developed and produced by ALT (All Life Technology), as the first product of a Japanese subsidiary shortly after its establishment.[2] It launched on a Korean market in January 2025, shortly after the phone became available on a Japanese market on February 19, 2026.[3] Advertised as an alternative, while capable of the same configuration as a regular phone, the device remain more portable simplistic solution,[4] with the physical keyboard being the biggest standing out feature.
The sales of a flip-style phone increased by approximately 18% between 2021 and 2023.[5] Consequently, although the phone was meant to appeal to the elderly who struggle with the modern touchscreens, within certain communities it became a popular choice amongst all age groups, with the sales of both models reaching 1 million units in South Korea as of early 2026.[6]
