Foldable Smartphones

[NameGervin]

What do you think about foldable smartphones cus lately samsung revealed their foldable phone? I don't think they will be a hit among the consumers but may only be a trendy thing about millenials. I don't really like the design and the rounded edge on the left side, I still prefer the old design of a phone, also when the foldable phone unfold, it is wide, which is a very big advantage for most app cus the screen will be square instead of the traditional shape.


This what foldable phones looks like:

It looks cool but they could do it ala NDS/3DS with 2 screens instead, as it is a lot cheaper.

I think they are good for people who need to use both a tablet, and smartphone, but don't want to carry them both.

I like the foldable phones but if they have a very different architecture then i might not like them. More like if the screen separation is visible quite a bit, then I might not like them.

The screen resolution must not be very good to get that bend.

I have a feeling this will end up like 'windows phones' which will likely easily to be forgotten.

Foldable phones can be nice for viewing some videos and games where folding the screen in a 90 degree L angle and other angles gives the video a unique and more realistic visual effect compared to watching the video on a flat surface like a regular flat smartphone screen.

So something like eh? ^^

I think it would be cool if these phones are more flexible, so you can turn the screen into a Cylinder/tunnel shape which can give certain videos a tunnel video effect like looking into a pipe or tunnel.

I would rather prefer if the screen folded in to hide the screen and become smaller. Rather than opening up to become a tablet.

Sadly I don't really like the idea, just not my thing really.
