Well, as promised, we are talking foldable this week. The excitement is palpable, and it looks like the rest of our mod team have already started the conversation here. Go check it out.
I honestly don’t know very much about foldable phones, so I’ll let the rest of our (very smart and knowledgeable) mod team handle this one this week. :)
Last thing for future reference at the end of the week, we also have a great thread discussing foldables here too, go check it out if you want more great discussions.
I have not personally used a phone with a folding screen, but I work in customer service and I know our tech team has replaced a lot of them where the screen gets a crease in the middle or comes unlamented.
Honestly though the foldables seem kind of pointless to me. It gives a slightly larger screen that’s really of no use unless your phone is the only thing you use to watch movies/game on. It’s really more of a status symbol than anything else.
I’m sure someone will eventually come up with a more useful and innovative way of using foldable screen technology, but this is not it.
