What do you think of foldable phones? (beehaw.org)

Seems like foldable phones are taking over (e.g. Motorola Razr making waves) and only Apple is missing an entry in this form factor now. Almost everyone who can afford one swears by it with the exception of weak build quality.

What do you think? Anyone has one?

Personally, I'm betting on rolling screens (like Oppo X 2021) which seems like the most convenient take.

What do you think are the chances of them being around in 5 years time? I really want to get this as my next phone but for now I'm happy with my current phone (King Kong Mini 2)

I guess currently it doesn't seem that great, given they've been unable to fulfill their Indiegogo campaign due to manufacturing woes. I hadn't realized how lucky I was to receive this unit :).

I do hope they'll survive, though, because I want to keep seeing qwerty phones—and have some support for this one..
