You know, it’s like 3 screens, so they can push you triple the amount of ads and bloat ware! Yay!
It sucks. I know its not for everyone and for sure its gonna cost €€€€.
The foldable phone are fine, yet expensive and not so widely used.I recently bought a flip folder for under $600.
And who asked for it? They very well know that nobody will buy that.
Just get a tablet at this point.
Considering everyone I know with a folding phone has had a fault with the folding part of it - I don’t think its the best idea from a durability standpoint to add yet another folding part.
If one screen or fold point breaks, you’re now left with two unusable (but perfectly functioning) screens. Seems like an expensive gimmick to me.
Then they can replace more devices. Capitalism at work
Mine grew a visible line at the foldy bit that you can see at an angle.
I like the phone though, just know what you’re getting into.
PhabletPhoneTabletWhy did they make the screens fold in? The Huawei Mate XT folds up in a z-shape, which imo makes more sense as you don’t need a ‘fourth’ outer display anymore. Seems more efficient that way.
Because they’re fragile. You don’t want your screen to die on the first drop.
and you don’t want it full of scratches, since cover glasses and protection cases will probably be quite complicated for these monstrosities?
Nice, it has twice as many failure points as previous folding phones.
Why have a single point of failure when you can have multiple?
Redundancy!
This is going to be like shaving razors, isn’t it? How soon before quad-fold phones?
What about 6 minute abs?

I’m waiting for one that unrolls like a bamboo placemat.
Behold, the iRoll!

A phone you can crumple up like a receipt before you put it in your pocket
That would finally be a convention to replace slacking the phone down in rage.
Well phones already vibrate so they’re ahead of the curve in that regard.
I’m waiting for the twelvefold myself.
Not sure if we’re talking about phone, razor blade, origami, or sword-making.
anything is a dildo if you’re brave enough
This is a very cool piece of technology. The comments here naysaying about it seem odd to me. If it’s not for you that’s fine, but many millions of foldables have been bought over the past few years, and they continue to sell very well today
And they will continue to have big ass creases visible in the folding part
it is a very cool technical achievement, but the user experience leaves a lot to be desired with them. most people don’t think about comparing. which is the only way i can imagine samsung getting as big as they have.
Statement with no substance. What do you desire that’s not there?
Aside from the screen being softer and easier to scratch, name a practical difference between this and another 10" Android tablet…
If a 10" tablet meets your desires, and your desire to fold it and put it in your pocket, what’s left?
well that is part of the user experience. the main thing that annoys me though is that the ui tends to go one of two ways for these devices; either it’s super-custom to the point that all application developers have to do extra work to be usable on it, or there’s too little customisation, which again means apps are not properly usable without extra work. i’ve not seen a folding device that “just works” yet.
Whose brilliant idea was it to demo this with a wallpaper that looks like a shitty diagonal screen fold?
thats not the wallpaper… someone just had nails.
It’s to make a subtle “Z”
Commitment: 10/10
Execution: 0/10😲 Zorro is real!
You had me and then you lost me.
Samsung’s Most Versatile AI Phone, Powered by the Largest Screen
How is screen?
Why are you confuse? Battery will last a day? Maybe half of day. Screen? What about three folded screens? The power is immense.
I’d love to see a Japanese fan style phone 🪭 Maybe it folds up into a reusable straw?
Not that I’d ever buy it, but I’m looking forward to the price tag so I can have a good laugh.
Impressive from an engineering standpoint and it’s only going to get more refined. Give it 5-10 years and maybe they will be durable enough for regular use.
*foldable tablet that can also make calls
Phones have been tablets, well phablets, for nearly a decade now.
Wow, haven’t seen anyone use ‘phablet’ for years!
Because phones now are bigger than what we called phablets 12-13 years ago lol
Galaxy Note II (2012): 5,5 inches Pixel 3a (2019): 5,6 inches
Exactly! :)
My first tablet had a 7" screen. Huawei Mate 70 Air is 7"
What else is 7"? 😏
That’s absolutely phabulous!
