Like it or not, flexible smartphones are the future and Google is betting big on that one.

I like the idea foldable phones. You can use your phone normally and unfold it to have a bigger display for multitasking or watching videos/playing games, why not.

      while i 'like' the idea, i disagree with this being the future. That's what some claimed about 3D when that was a thing (remember that?). It failed spectacularly across TV, gaming and mobile. Flexible display sounds good (much like curved monitors/TV)..but i have doubts. From actual usability. durability, and lastly user experience, don't think this is it

        [deleted post]Seriously, what is even the point. I don't see how folding screens can be useful for phones except adding bulk and thickness. There is a reason flip phones and every other form factor except bar/slate died out. Folding screens can be utilized in Microsoft Surface Pro and Surface Book like devices but I fail to see how this will be more than just an experimental feature on a few phones for a few years before being forgotten.

          This looks actually really nice. The only thing I am wondering is the thickness of this thing. But nonetheless it is still not finished when the first devices go to sale.

            No, I don't like it. I am regressive to the full.

            I also hated bezeless design and loved sealed batteries. I basically hate everything that is good and holy.

            I expect a torrent of messages concurring with me. This place is a joke..
