I tested out last year's foldable phone for a couple of months.. borrowed it from a friend.
Maybe I'm just losing interest in phone tech - but to me, it was only down sides and no upside.
The phone was bulky. Fragile.
The larger screen you get when you open the phone - was absolutely useless for most of the content I watch. The screen is 4:3 and most of the content I watched was 16:9. The black bars at the top and bottom of the video meant that the actual video content is exactly the same size as my non foldable Motorola Edge 40.
That's an excellent point. If it's not close to 16:9 you hardly get more space, or you zoom the video a bit and cut off the sides. 16x9 seems to make more sense. But if you fold it in half, then I think you a weird sized device (wouldn't it be pretty long for cell p hone) - that's probably how we got here
