So full of questions on this form factor, I’m not sure where to begin.
How do the ergonomics of a foldable phone work out? I assume it’s generally optimized for bigger screen capability in a phablet mode, but would it make sense to have it fold to become more portable like a flip phone?
Do the phones become more fragile from drops or subject to scratching due to having screen on both front and back? (Edit: Looking at the Samsung Fold, the main screen is actually inside the fold, so maybe not?)
- hu3 5y agowow I just learned about Samsung Fold. That thing is wild. They even managed to put front facing camera behind the screen. https://youtu.be/kMJEYDZT_JE?t=230 https://youtu.be/kMJEYDZT_JE?t=230
- rjzzleep 5y agoBased on previous experience with Samsung devices, absolutely do not buy any based on promises the company makes about the future. Buy it based on what is proven to work today(probably good advice in general, but plenty of people have been burned by Samsungs promises).
- hu3 5y agoThe link is about the third edition of Samsung Fold. It was launched more than 2 years ago. Shouldn't be hard to check how it went.
- thomascgalvin 5y agoI'm not sold on Samsung's "behind the screen" anything. The fingerprint sensor in my wife's phone is embedded in the screen, and it just doesn't work. The sensor on the back of the phone was much, much better.

- hughrr 5y agoScreens are not at all durable. Surface has to be pliable for obvious reasons which makes it susceptible to scratching. Even a finger nail run down the screen can permanently mark it if the galaxy fold is anything to go by. I’m not quite sure of the use case for these devices really.
