Quote from: Julian M on Yesterday at 22:30:17holy projection , you're clearly the not here. you don't understand the point of a larger screen? do you think people use phones, 8in tablets, 10-12in tablets, laptops, pc monitors, tvs, and projection screens the size of movie theaters all for the EXACT same reason? every size category has it's use case separate from the other SPECIFICALLY because of screen area (size + aspect ratio). foldables fit the 8in category which is used for e-readers, media consumption, expanded multitasking, enhanced mobile gaming.Quote from: onlytechineptreply on Yesterday at 20:00:02well first off you're just wrong about foldables. functionally, they quite literally offer a much larger screen area when unfolded. you know, the main function of FOLDables. and i'm guessing you've never even attempted to use a foldable or even test one in a tech store because they have a ton of multitasking and productivity features in software that aren't available in even the most expensive bar style flagships. And no, they aren't clunker or heavier. the z fold7 is as thin and lightweight as the S26 Ultra when folded and when unfolded it's even more impressive.You're still not explaining why more screen real-estate is useful or even needed thanks to foldable screens (yeah thanks I know what folding means), you're just rehashing that we have the technology to make this happen so it must be amazing.
I can see why you don't understand the point of foldables, it's because everything you believe about them is outdated information or flat out false. I recommend you watch videos and reviews about the latest foldables so you don't embarass yourself again about a product segment you know nothing about.
And yes the folded device is thicker than current phones, not sure why you're trying to deny that.
Are you just a bot?

Functionally they don't improve anything, don't allow the user to do more, they're even clunkier and heavier for very debateable benefits.
Pointing that out automatically means I'm not the target audience, it's a toy for folks with money to spend rather than an once of common sense.
