This is a very cool piece of technology. The comments here naysaying about it seem odd to me. If it's not for you that's fine, but many millions of foldables have been bought over the past few years, and they continue to sell very well today
And they will continue to have big ass creases visible in the folding part
Which foldable do you own? There is no visible crease on my Fold 7 during normal use. The only way I can see it is by placing the phone directly under a light and angling it in an unnatural direction.
That said, my old Fold 4 had an obvious crease. But it's no longer an issue with modern foldables.
Only in real life, not in any of the marketing materials. So you only know how it really works after purchase.
Almost no one buys a super expensive phone that has a totally new form factor without trying it out in real life before buying it
it is a very cool technical achievement, but the user experience leaves a lot to be desired with them. most people don't think about comparing. which is the only way i can imagine samsung getting as big as they have.
Statement with no substance. What do you desire that's not there?
Aside from the screen being softer and easier to scratch, name a practical difference between this and another 10" Android tablet...
If a 10" tablet meets your desires, and your desire to fold it and put it in your pocket, what's left?
well that is part of the user experience. the main thing that annoys me though is that the ui tends to go one of two ways for these devices; either it's super-custom to the point that all application developers have to do extra work to be usable on it, or there's too little customisation, which again means apps are not properly usable without extra work. i've not seen a folding device that "just works" yet.
