Never understood the reason of foldable smartphones, like what was their intended usecase?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The only usecase for foldables that made sense is that since phones keep on getting bigger, so having a foldable phone would save some pocket space. However, I think phones stopped growing after 6" and foldable phones have been considerably more expensive. People are just more comfortable with a normal "slab" phone.

@xavier666 @Mandy I've got small hands and it's *really* difficult to find a smartphone I can use one handed. I looked at foldables for that reason but the added thickness means my ancient Xperia compact is still better I think.
