    The reason for this to exist is for a phone + controller combo to be pocketable. Even the most compact add-ons like Razer Kishi are not exactly that. This should be somewhat similar but integrated for the weirdos that want it.

      PSP, Gameboy, 3DS, etc. all very pocketable without trying to reinvent the entire wheel like this goofy thing. And I suspect either the phone or the gameing aspect of this will be severely neglected as a result.

      That said though, if anyone is going to make a folding screen handheld (phonsole?), Samsung is probably the best one to do it considering their history with folding phones.

        Agreed, I own a bunch of older handhelds with better form factors and large libraries of games. I tried to give gaming on iOS a go and it’s fine but the catalogue is still to small if you don’t want to touch gachas. I think this thing might be for people who play those though.

      I would walk around with a kishi shoved up my ass for storage before I would try playing a platformer using that d-pad.
