pastabatmanScreen durability and the distracting crease are the two biggest problems with foldables, so they are making a phone where a third of the screen is always unprotected, added an additional crease, and sharpened the radius of both creases. Hard pass for me (and most people), but this is more of a statement piece for their manufacturing and engineering prowess than a mass market product. Hopefully the advances they make will improve single fold devices.
As someone on their second foldable, the crease is truly, I promise you, a non issue. Unless you’re doing detained drawing with the S-pen, not my use case, it has no effect on use.
I’d actually miss it, as it gives the screen a kind of magic bookish quality. The biggest problem with foldables in my experience is the odd aspect ratio universal to all of them, something a tri fold design may actually mitigate.
HanrahanThanks for that I have been considering a foldable and the creaae doesn’t worry me but how’s the durability ?
NickwithaCWhy do screens need to fold at all? In folded mode an edge to edge screen is enough and in unfolded mode two more of those can combine to make one large display. It’s the same as those led walls you see in places, made of edgeless panels that slot in next to each other. Curving the pixels is stupid.
