How about one that doesn't fold?

Yeah I can't imagine choosing to game on a device that has no physical controls and just touchscreen which is what I imagine this device would have to be if it's foldable.

It will probably also be over $1000 if it's a foldable touchscreen and have shitty hardware so may as well get a steam deck if you're intent is gaming.

If I want to game on a touchscreen I'll do it on my phone because it's convenient. I'm not carrying a second device around for touchscreen gaming.

I mean... Nintendo has released several devices with physical buttons that fold. They sold famously well.

Also, you could read the article. There's a massive picture of the patent with, shocker, physical buttons.

some of the emulators I use, when the phone is vertical they put the action on the top half and a bunch of touchscreeny buttons on the bottom. Still not as good as a physical controller, but it will do when the controller is recharging.
