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