My understanding is you fold it in half to use as a phone. Open it up to use it as a tablet.

Hah, yep.
Would love to see dude holding the tablet-size up to his ear as a phone though. Be like the guy with the 3 foot long boom box on his shoulder back in the day.

Have you used one? Or even held one? You have no clue how structurally solid it is or how long it will last.

Huawei has one if you don't mind a little chinese spyware peaking into your life.
Lenovo, Xiaomi, and Motorola are said to be developing their own along with Apple(they got a patent for a folding device in 2014).

A few years from now the tech and hardware will be refined and the price will be where it needs to be IF this style catches on and doesn't become just another fad.

It's a known issue with the technology, dumbass. There's already foldable devices out there, and they're pretty flawed. The tech just isn't quite there yet. I mean, they even state there's a limit to how many times it can be folded.

Here's the fold on the Flexpai fold phone:

The phone pictured is nothing like the Samsung phone.

"Samsung says it’s able to fold at least 200,000 times, which works out to over 5 years if you fold it 100 times a day."

I'd say that's unlike anything out, and 5 years is more than adequate usage.

You've never seen nor handled one, you're just talking out of your ass about something you have no clue about. Par for the course for you though.

Once the reviews start coming out, we'll revisit this thread for a chuckle at your expense.

Considering the specs of this phone and the fact the S10 is already $1000 I dont see this as that bad of a deal. I use my cel phone more than any other device I own. It makes sense Id pay a premium for it

I don't know how many need a screen that big. But I would sure like it. What's left of my hair is grey and my eyes are bad. I have to make everything bigger which means I don't get much text/map on the screen.

I don't use the phone walking around much. Usually I'm sitting at a table/desk so I would mostly use it folded out.

I would like a phone that when folded just comfortably fits in the front pocket of standard pants for guys. So I would like it even bigger than the Galaxy Fold.

But I don't use my phone enough to justify blowing 2 grand on it.

Plus I don't like having a damn brick in my pants.

I don't like having a damn brick in my pants either. I would rather have it in Billay's mom.

I buy cell phones for about $100 and use them for 5+ years. Buying a phablet for $2k that the manufacturer says should last for 5 years is ****ing stupid.

You use your car every day - you wouldn't expect to pay $100 for it would you?

I use my phone even way more than my car.

I use my socks every day. I wouldn't pay $2,000 for them.

Yeah socks have alot of complex uses like a phone. I'm pretty amazed cell phones have stayed as affordable as they have. There is a huge market for high end cell phones. Affluent people with money to spend, why wouldn't they want to spend a ton of money on the best of the best devices? They don't have to be adopted by the masses to be profitable and useful.

Nobody in this site should be calling me cheap ever again. Even I don't settle for a $100 phone.
