Why do phones need to bend?
- jagged-chisel 1y agoBecause. Seriously. Take a look at the foldable touchscreen phones that do exist. "Because" is the only answer.
- oblio 1y agoWouldn't you want a moderately priced device weighing under 200g with a big screen? I would. It would be great for reading books everywhere.
- jagged-chisel 1y agoKindle
- oblio 1y agoAwesome, can I fit in my pocket and will I have it with me at all times?
- jagged-chisel 1y agoIf you acquire men’s clothing with proper pockets, yes. The second part is entirely up to you.
- oblio 1y agoLOL. I have perfectly fine pants, thank you. I already carry my keys, my wallet, my phone, the last thing I want in there is another item that's bigger than my phone. And most people are like me, which you will see in a few years, when foldable sales take off.
- sotix 1y agoMy Kobo mini does! And it still runs a current OS, so it syncs with my bigger Kobo I use at home.
- MrDrMcCoy 1y agoI wouldn't. I like being able top use my phone one-handed and not have the battery die before the end of the day.
- matt-attack 1y agoThere’s a single and obvious reason. Bigger screen. And if you’re going to ask why a bigger screen? It’s the same reason your laptop or desktop isn’t 7” wide.
- ileonichwiesz 1y agoMy laptop isn’t 7” wide because I do my work on it, and that work involves reading long text files and requires a keyboard big enough to comfortably type said long text files, not because “bigger screen = always better”. It’s all about the use case.
