    Other than the novelty of it, I don’t see the attraction of folding devices. Other than folding it doesn’t do anything that my non-folding smartphone doesn’t.

      Bigger screen with a constrained form factor. If you don’t need a bigger screen, you’re just not the target, but that doesn’t mean it’s totally useless.

      Main camera selfies look amazing, multitasking with apps are usable, works as a kickstand, can easily fit in a clutch, big screen for videos, etc

        They should put a little WearOS watch screen on the back of a regular-ass smartphone for that.

      Ever try to stuff a modern phone into a small purse?

      Form factor has been a complaint since the HTC EVO.

        Yes, it’s why I got an iphone 12 mini. Super small! I don’t know how people deal with the huge ones that are practically a small tablet.

      Yes, it doesn’t. Noone needs one of these, and that’s ok. The 4:3 ratio is irritating, but getting two rows of videos on youtube is soooo nice when just looking for a video.
