Past Discussions:

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.

    I like glass screens with an anti-glare screen protector on it.

    The foldables I’ve seen use glossy, soft plastic screens.

    We’re already off on a bad start.

    These things are becoming softer, more fragile, and more disposable, all the while going up up up in price.

    When I see a review for a device that can be permanently damaged with just a fingernail and is frail enough to snap in half if folded the wrong way - all the while costing way more than a regular phone, I don’t know if I’d feel comfortable using it. I already get uncomfortable handing my “normal” phone to someone to see, especially a kid.
