Samsung Galaxy Fold - First foldable screen smartphone from Samsung
- Thread starter UberTiger
- Start date
y'all need to remember the galaxy round, then the galaxy note edge etc.. it's basically a real world tech experiment. You have to make things real eventually but this will be scarce and expensive enough to ensure it's not a disaster if it's not 10000% perfect.
Then in about 4 years apple will invent it and everyone will **** bricks.

Another potential deal breaker for me for this type of folding screen tech is if the foldable screen will play well with screen protectors, though I can't imagine it will.
I never use a phone unless I have a clasp case with rubber/extremely rigid and strong corner protectors and a gorilla glass or similar screen protector - I've dropped my phone at least 10 times over the years that would have likely totally smashed the screens on them only for them to be completely fine thanks to screen protectors and cases.
I can see a lot of these getting smashed pretty easily if screen protectors don't work well with them.

Especially if we've got to a point where the back is the screen as well as the front
i mean I get the Huawei is a nice looking device but thats the whole thing you can break super easily.

Would you buy it ? Considering £2k could get you a decent PC or a huge smart TV
The tech is cool, but way too expensive

A tablet sized screen that fits in your pocket I presume is the point, the price point though you may as well just buy a bag to carry your 5x cheaper tablet
I wouldn't even contemplate even thinking about contemplating it unless I could be absolutely guaranteed that..
1) It can be dropped on concrete from a great height and survive unscathed. (See also, sat on, trodden on, Chewed by the Cat/Dog/Leopard/etc and so on)
2) I can vigorously rub an old-school Brillo pad all over the screen and it will remain unscratched.
3) I can drop it in the Bath/Loo/Whatever and leave it there all night and it will be totally waterproof.
4) That the battery is either/or user replaceable and last at least 5 years

Get used to it. Will be normal in ten years.
Really don't understand why so many people are so happy to sleepwalk into this?
Really don't!

More people will want it than not i think. Im not keen on it but we are a minority.

Wow, what phone do you have at the moment?! I assume a Nokia 3310 in which case this wasn't really for you...

Not at that price, no. You can get a decent tablet and a decent phone for less than that.
