          There's a large niche of people that buy phones only for the design. This phone will sell like hot cakes!

              With so much delay in this fast moving technology environment, it will be DEAD even before launch.

                The only reason to make foldable phones is to shorten the lifespan, causing people to upgrade sooner. There's no real benefit to having a foldable phone and folding your phone constantly will cause the plastic to wear down much faster than a traditional phone smh

                    The foldable display is just another thing which is far from useful. The phone size display that can translate into bigger screen for consuming Media or reading books can be useful, but the cost of adopting one device for two functionalities is very high at initial phases. So these techs are not for masses until the tech turns affordable.

The only reason I would like to have a foldable device is to use more screen estate when needed. This one is not even practical unfolded.

                            Soon we will have 30:9 ratio phones. or 50:9 ratio phones the size of Note 9 when folded.

                              Small screen folding phones are simply stupid. Sacrificing battery just for the sake of folding.
