Foldable smartphones... What say ye?

a stupid waste of time, effort and resources

a step in the right direction
only foldable at that one middle area? needs further research and improvements

what the fuck what for ?

No, buy last year's flagship and a PC instead

Practice makes perfect and I can definitely see it become a thing. Access to a tablet-sized display that fits in your pocket is pretty convenient. I mean, the there's no way it warrants a $2000 price tag, but as tech progresses and it gets cheaper to produce, yeah, it could work.

>own a computer repair shop
>can't wait for people to start bringing broken foldable phones

I would not give anyone any more money than they ask for ever

It looks cool, and it makes you really special and unique... Plus women will owe you even more sex for owning one.

Another fad like 3d movies and curved monitors. I imagine it'll explode on the scene and become the new standard and people will forget it exists withing 4-6 months.

Pic related, it's people lining up to buy this shit.

That one looks like it could be awkward to hold folded, but sure I think id be interested.. You'd could walk around with a large screen tablet without also having to wear Jncos.

It's reasonable... What they're figuring out is foldable screens, not foldable chips, circuit boards and batteries...

why make phones so big you have to start folding them in the first place?
is it for people who dont even have normal computers? I think it is!

So, no way to use a decent screen protector, coupled with a screen that is necessarily soft and flexible, right at the point on the edge where it's most susceptible to scratches....

Yep, I'm sold...

Useless, pretgty much just a phone and a tablet in one, and tablets are useless outside of being a mobile toy for kids or being used in businesses.
