When you start needing reading glasses, you’ll know. I have a phone for outside the house and a tablet for home. I would much rather just have one device be both.

I guess i don't really see the point. Is there a strong use case out there, or is this a marge's potato? ("I just think they're neat")

What is the point of current folding phones? I still fail to grasp that. This, however, seems more clear. It’s a phone that can become a full on tablet. This is a true transformation into an otherwise disparate device. A phone that becomes a slightly bigger phone is the real mystery to me.

Honestly I feel this was always the goal (one of several), but R&D is expensive. Shipping an odd phone that people still buy keeps the shareholders happy while the multi-year research process can eventually produce more usable results.
Single-flip phones were the awkward teenagers, now this phone can be the 18-20 age young adult, fully featured, but needing refinement. Next gen or the one after this will add a lot more robustness.
