I like it in a 'I'm not gonna buy it' kind of way.

Its the future, just wait for Apple to release one in 1 or 2 years and like the notch everyone will start copying it.

Samsung Fold Z is copying Motorolla. The Phone to Tablet is probably DOA, but the flip phone foldables is going to be the next step.

I really like the idea of a pocket-sized phone that can unfold into a giant screen. I don't quite understand these newer flip versions, though. They unfold into a normal sized phone and have limited use when not unfolded. What is the point of that?

You said it yourself, pocket-sized. If I put a typical smartphone in my front pocket I'm either destroying a phone or my nuts, flip a coin. If I put it in a back pocket I'm gonna forget about it and sit on it.

A flip like this I could put in my front pocket safely while still having a decent-sized screen when it is open.

I have a S10+ and consider that pocket-sized already. I could go way bigger, even. Is it a skinny jeans thing? I'm old enough that I don't wear skin-tight pants, so that could be why

How big are your balls?

Nah, I wear loose fit. If I sit down with a fullsize smartphone in my front pocket I'm going to injure myself.

Same here. I'm 6'9" so my pants size and my hand size is obviously bigger than most. I too have an s10+ and could deal with a bigger phone no problem.

6'9? God damn! I'm only 6'2 so maybe height has something to do with it. I wished the phone was bigger right away, so for you this thing must feel like

Great, love to see smaller sized phones for training.

Folding phones are here to stay and it will be replacing your computers and gaming consoles soon enough.

Is this like the Michael Pachter thing where whatever you say is the future of an industry means that the opposite is what happens?

 

[eot]

Rigidly attaching both ends of the phone in a machine to fold it is fucking stupid, as shown by how they need to adjust it several times because it won't fold. Just because they find a configuration of their clamps where it does fold does not mean that they're not stressing the thing in an unnatural way while doing so. Amateur hour at CNET, not big surprise

Look at this amazing Huawei foldable phone we will apparently never get:



This thing is fucking awesome and is just what I want from a foldable phone.

 

[Dr. Claus]

For me, I only ever use my phone for music, web browsing, and phone calls. If I could get the quality of an iPhone Pro Max screen with a foldable, smaller form factor - I would be happy.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

If those things weren't so incredibly pricey at the moment...

Strange considering how most Motorola phones are budget priced.

Seems very gimmicky. The idea of a foldable phone, at least to me, is to get a substantially bigger screen that you can fold and put in your pocket. This doesn't look that much bigger than a regular phone when unfolded, and I've never had any issue fitting a regular phone in my pocket.

I think both can exist. Some want smaller form factors, some want larger screens. Why not cater to both crowds?

Phone companies are searching for the next thing to sell to you the thread.

Nothing wrong with that, if the new thread is cool and amazing.

People are paying way too much for this based on those specs

New technology goes for a premium. People were paying multiple thousands for 4K TVs when you can now buy them for less than a grand for a high quality one.

Sucks for Motorola (luckily Google sold it to Lenovo, so sucks for Lonovo). The new Razr is less powerful (worse CPU and lower RAM), has a smaller screen, worse material for the screen, lower-resolution camera, AND more expensive than a Galaxy Z.

Damn that looks better than razr
