What do you think of foldable phones? (beehaw.org)

Seems like foldable phones are taking over (e.g. Motorola Razr making waves) and only Apple is missing an entry in this form factor now. Almost everyone who can afford one swears by it with the exception of weak build quality.

What do you think? Anyone has one?

Personally, I'm betting on rolling screens (like Oppo X 2021) which seems like the most convenient take.

Rolling screens seems like the more practical idea, if they can become affordable and practical (practical as in similar build quality to existing standard screens)

I do wonder why we aren't seeing any rolling screens on the market yet despite it looking like a more simple tech than the fold hinge. I hope we have something soon as that would be my preference too.
