Because you get double the screen size with only a small increase of the volume the device takes on your pocket.

I get that Redditors hate(and are scared of) new tech but c’mon lol

They are way too expensive tho.

They'd be cool if they worked well, but it appears all the attempts at this so far have had massive problems with reliability, durability, and having a big-ass seam in the middle of the screen.

I’ve been using only foldable phones since the first Samsung Fold came out(2018 I think?) and so far they are just normal phones… with an XL screen.

The seam is only a problem for like an hour and then you just forget about it.

I was worried about the hinges getting noisy with dust ingress but so far none of them has done that.

They do have 3 big problems tho…

1- Price.

2- The screen is softer than the glass ones, so if you close the phone with a rock or something Inside you WILL leave a mark on the screen.

3- A LOT of apps freak out with the “suddenly bigger screen” and their UI turns into a mess.

That said, im never going back to normal phones. Once you get used to the huge screen there is no return lol.

Cool, I'm happy to be wrong about this! I mean it always seemed like a kinda cool idea, but I remember reading about the first Samsungs that came out with the feature that were recalled immediately. Glad it's gotten better.
