Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing::Foldables are barely 1% of the market, but that’s not stopping anyone but Apple.

    Once they are cheaper and more durable I’ll buy one. Its still a new form factor that hasn’t been perfected yet, but that doesn’t mean its wrong for manufacturers to keep at it

      Honestly, unless they come out unlocked for like sub $300 I’m unlikely to want to get one as I have had no problem using sub $300 new phones for 4 years now. And no interest in spending more for a tablet - I’ve gotten tablets for sub $250 for like 8 years now and they are good for my needs.

        Unless I can get it used for 20 bucks and a handy thrown in, NO SALE. Like hombre, you’re not the target market for any of this.

      I’m waiting for them to find a better spot on durability, weight /bulkiness and hardware like cameras.

      They’re still too big and bulky for me, the other components are usually a bit behind, and the screen durability seems a bit too eeh still.

      Which is to say, I’m interested in one, but they’re not there yet for me.
