Well, as promised, we are talking foldable this week. The excitement is palpable, and it looks like the rest of our mod team have already started the conversation here. Go check it out.

I honestly don't know very much about foldable phones, so I'll let the rest of our (very smart and knowledgeable) mod team handle this one this week. :)

Last thing for future reference at the end of the week, we also have a great thread discussing foldables here too, go check it out if you want more great discussions.

Expensive, fragile and rather useless unless you plan to replace your computer and in that case you just made a bad decition. I think it's a very desperate attempt to hype yet another generation of smartphones no one needs with a gimmick becuase sales go down.

I replaced my tablet, I can't replace my PC so easily lol

Now I always have my tablet with me in the form factor of a phone. I wouldn't call foldables useless, I love multitasking and consuming media on a large screen!

I kind of never liked tablets ether tbh 😅

All I want is practicality and replaceable parts. Still waiting for a FairPhone like device to reach the US

I got my brother to buy one but can't affort one myself, it's damn cool tho, especially while I watch it with my broken Battery and charging port!
