what is the benefit of this i don't get it?
Larger display but still compact in your pocket. It’s just a competitor to the Samsung flip phone
Yes, but you can rig the screen with a fingernail if you push hard enough. Tested it in store..
Do those phones sell that well? I held one recently and it doesn't seem very practical for someone that keeps taking their phone out back into their pocket often.
It has its niche. Those who like it, really like it. My friend is basically only going to go with flip phones from now on because it fits completely inside his pockets and that it can act as its own tripod.
I bet the screen is less prone to scratching from anything in your pockets
No. And 2 friends I know that have them are constantly replacing due to damage
this is my thought too. i take my phone out hundreds of times a day and wonder how this would affect me if i had to unfold that much.
I'm the sort of person that takes it out of my pocket and puts it back a lot. It's not a big deal honestly, it feels good to open and close it.
I'm actually greatful for foldable phones. When they started actually coming out, I was certain that smartphones were feature-complete and my phone would never become obsolete again. If that weren't true, they would have put a new real feature in the phone instead.
