31 October 2018
We just hope that the latest craze with foldable smartphones doesn't end up to be a gimmick, like the notches.

Sort by:

But where is the projector replacing screen that rolls in to a cassette..

      Am I the only one here who thinks this idea is stupid?

          I have only one but very simple question.
          Who from Audience from real users and people would like or need a foldable phone???
          Its another research which eats tons of money just to tell manufacturing company we dont need that???

            I fail to see any market for this stupid idea. More water resistant yes. A flip phone that flips on the screen is going to be a returns disaster.

              Anonymous, 31 Oct 2018LG is always rushing to be first and always makes a mess of it.maybe they were trying to be innovative but end in vain

                Walter C. Dornez, 31 Oct 2018I honestly hope this tech succeeds. Pocketable devices with... moreWell, there's certainly demand for it, so most OEMs would experiment with this tech. You can expect to see foldable phones from all major brands. Samsung, Huawei & LG have confirmed working on the tech, and others are likely considering (or secretly developing) it too.

                The biggest problem with the tech initially IMO would be display quality & durability. I think it's going to be significantly poorer than traditional panels, which would turn off most buyers. The tech will take a few years to evolve to perfection, at which point the tech would become mainstream & gain acceptance by all OEMs.

                I think we have a long way to go, so i wouldn't hold my breath for first-gen foldable phones, as they likely will not please the most demanding of us. They will however be better than any concept foldable phones out yet (such as the FlexPai).

                    I honestly hope this tech succeeds. Pocketable devices with huge screens would be amazing
