Seems like foldable phones are taking over (e.g. Motorola Razr making waves) and only Apple is missing an entry in this form factor now. Almost everyone who can afford one swears by it with the exception of weak build quality.

What do you think? Anyone has one?

Personally, I’m betting on rolling screens (like Oppo X 2021) which seems like the most convenient take.

    I think they are an awesome concept, and I can see how certain people could really take advantage of the larger screen and better multitasking.

    Personally the things stopping me are

    • Plastic screens. I already scratch my glass ones.
    • Cost. In Canada they are 2x more than a regular flagship.
    • Worse front screen. I just know I’ll get lazy with the folding aspect quickly, and I’ll just be using a worse front screen the majority of the time.

    One of the largest upsides I see, though, is the fact you can use the rear cameras as front facing cameras. That’s pretty wild and opens up WAY better selfies and video calls.
