Samsung copying Motorola now XD
At least their design is a little better, as it has no fat notch, just a glory hole.
But the most important thing is, I hope the screen is not made out of play-doh again. Not even the cheapest potato phones today still have an easily scratchable plastic screen.

        Seems like the Escobar Fold 1 is forgotten it can beat all foldable/clamshell smartphones because of its cheap price but with high end hardware

There's a lot of stuff (books, documents, comics, photos, videos) that doesn't dynamically adapt to narrow screens. If you display, for example, an A4 page on this narrow screen, it's going to be totally unreadable.

                RC255, 19 Dec 2019For what it is, it looks OK but we can only see the screen ... moreIt's going to use glass, not plastic like the Razr. A crease would mean the glass breaks.
                It will be interesting to see how the durability of glass that thin will be... Exciting times in mobile.

                    For what it is, it looks OK but we can only see the screen and I'm not a fan of the hole punch design.
                    Doesn't move or fold the same as the RAZR though so could have a harder crease at the fold point, like the Fold does.

                          Tonberry, 19 Dec 2019This could be awesome, but the screen is so narrow :( readi... moreYou need to try tbh. I only have 10% less content on my xperia 1 on a facebook post comparing to the computer version (with 66 letters/space per line for 10 words). It's just smaller, but perfectly readable thanks to the high resolution.
                          And the narrowness is so good to not have a bulky look with a case on, to be put on a jean pocket or just to use the phone with one hand only.

                            Not bad at all!

                              This one is definitely not good looking.
                              Razr by Motorola looks like a master piece.
                              This on the pics looks garbage to me.

I was complaining about it since i've been using 16:9 (z5 compact). Now that I have an 18:9 XZ3, I feel that 21:9 is the future. I can't fully grip my XZ3 due to the width but surely it's easier on a 21:9 (xperia 5). We may see 21:9 foldable phones next year.

                                    Looks to narrow

                                      This is how foldable smartphones should've been in the first place.
                                      But that front camera cutout is a serious eyesore...

                                        This is a perfect example of how execution matters more than concept. The stylish Moto RAZR annihilates this ugly turd no matter how you see it.
