They can fold with the screen in, fold and leave it out or some variation on those two options. Each has its advantages and disadvantages.

So there are tad bit of senseless people more than others.
Samsung has an innovation but should have been more considerate towards functional aspect.
Thicker, costlier, more complicated.

    Obviously Samsung and Motorola. Most practical design, protecting fragile massive screen. Xiaomi and Huawei designs are just stupid, and deserves no praise at all

      Anonymous, 03 Mar 2019What does you mean by xiaomi not a phone?Oh, I meant that their foldable design doesn't fit into a 'phone' category, cuz it's just too wide in folded mode. Sorry for late reply

              I want it to triple in size, not double. Double is useless, just makes a square, and that's bad for media consumption, which is the primary role of a tablet. I want one that folds like a Z shape, where the full width of the device folds both under and over a middle section. Will give a rectangular shape, which is better for video and gaming I think. The sides that do not have screens can house camera units and creative ways of doing selfies and such can be identified.

              But before I buy that device, crease needs to be fixed. Some sort of hinge design where it expands as it opens, pulling the screen tighter. Or I would even favor two screens that join together with a barely perceptible (or completely imperceptible) joint between them. Not my problem to solve, but I hope they figure it out.

                        Samsung's solution is so far the best one.

                          I forgot to mention : Get ready for the clamshell invasion! Looks like that trend can finally leave Asia and join the rest of the world :)
                          I forsee a lot of girls wanting one :)

                            The Fold looks so much better in terms of design and quality.
                            If they add SD card slot, 3.5mm jack and a larger front display in the next generations of the Fold, I'm buying one for sure.
                            I like huawei's bigger display, but that wrinkle in the middle is hideous, plus it looks and feels like a cheap device. Sorry, but that's what I see when I look at it. You may praise this brand, but I don't. I'm going to say the truth no matter how much it hurts.
                            Either way, I'm in no hurry, gonna get the S10+ and after that I'm switching to Fold.

                                they're just 2 different religions. the Apple and the Samsung one.
                                Just like left vs right are becoming religions.

                                Same thing. People are just being people.

                                I like the quad fold personally because it allows for a smaller fold as you need to put the electronics somewhere

                                  Combination of two. Huawei design with fold inside like Samsung to prevent screen scratches. LOL

The screen is made from plastic, so it'll scratch in no time (since it's on the both sides of the phone), and there's a bump where the fold happens, since unlike samsung's design where the fold flattens the screen, this bunches it up in the middle.

                                      It folds Inwards to reduce chances of damage to it, and the fold is not completely flat but as a slight curve.
