  Never understood the reason of foldable smartphones, like what was their intended usecase?

    I love it and would hate to go back. You have a normal sized phone that can make various otherwise awkward activities on small factor quite comfortable: note taking, film watching, reading, Internet in general.
    It is so good to be able to whip this out anytime, anywhere.

    It literally replaced 3 other devices for me that I used to drag around to cafes, work and when travelling.

      Would you say the technology is developed far enough?

      I’m definitely interested, as the phone screen size is often a bit too small. But any mechanical movement makes me nervous on a small device that should last multiple years.

      I’ve definitely been interested in one. What foldable device do you have? And which three devices did it replace?

    The only usecase for foldables that made sense is that since phones keep on getting bigger, so having a foldable phone would save some pocket space. However, I think phones stopped growing after 6" and foldable phones have been considerably more expensive. People are just more comfortable with a normal “slab” phone.

    For me it would be to have a single device that could work as both a phone and tablet, so compact when folded for portability while having the option for using a big screen when needed.
