The only main gripes would be those shitty 2Mpx cameras and a really lethargic update cycle (although they do come out). Everything else is quite good, including the haptic motors they put into it.

Big foldable for under 1000 euros please.
Now you have to buy older Samsung Galaxy fold models if you want cheaper price.

Also, a Unisoc SOC would never be able to pull off 2 displays at the same time.

Rumors about Realme’s folding phone ambitions have been going on for years - who exactly writes these sorts of articles? Any idea when Realme was founded?

Anonymous, 09 Mar 2023Yeah sure..800usd foldable phone that has lower screen'... more3-4 months is an exaggeration, but I would agree most people would not be comfortable spending half to repair the screen. If they manage to get the price down to $600 (which is a pipe dream), it would be worse. You might as well just buy a new phone at the point.

I probably prefer a Flip because of size and lower price. But I may try to own a Fold once in my life to see what the fuss is all about.
I'll probably will stick to the Flips. I really don't like carrying large, heavier devices and never been much of a tablet user. Had an iPad mini 2 for 6 months and rarely used it except to stream Netflix because the speakers were so good. Would binge watch old Saved By The Bell episodes from it.
Realme is all about low prices. Bring out a Flip first and price it under $600. And if it breaks, cheaper to repair. You really can't trust Chinese brands with aftermarket service. So bringing out a $1500 Fold doesn't make the most sense for Realme users who expect cheap prices. Not expensive to buy and expensive to repair if you get one from Realme.

With zero possibility to repair since majority of realme user dont want to spend another 400usd for new foldable screen after 3-4 months of usage.

Anonymous, 09 Mar 2023But 99% of Realme consumenr only spent money under 600USD. ... moreThey actually dont cost that much. In reality all modern OLED displays without a cover glass are foldable. The 400-500usd, is the repair price. Since repair becomes more complex because of the hinge and form factor. They can definitely reduce price by cheaping out on the quality, refresh rate, resolution of the display along with poorer cameras and processors. Although 600usd would be quite hard to reach, 800usd on the other hand is definitely possible.

Just spare the phone from a 8MP ultrawide. Even worse if the 2MP macro follows it too.
Main cam with OIS + 13MP ultrawide or just a good main cam with OIS. But forget these useless secondaries, please.
