Past Discussions:

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.

    Just another possible point of failure with no real upside, beside the ability to slam it shut while on a call when angry like it is 2005 again.

    Cosmetically the screen creases would anoy me.

    Only use case I see valuable would be easier portability of larger screen formats. But I really never use a tablet to begin with.

    I’m sure the tech will go towards better curved displays like monitors,tvs, and VR headset optics. Which are some things i maybe interested in using.

    But at this point I feel it’s more gimmick than anything.
