Fold your phone in to a paper plane to enter airplane mode. It won't stop you from receiving calls, but it will look badass when your $2000 Samsung phone makes it several feet down the cul-de-sac

In order to call your mom, you have to:
Pick a color
Pick a number
Pick a number
Pick a number
No, not that number, Nora just did that and it's not funny to get the same one twice
Okay, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... Flips open page
You're a turd
Wanna try again?
I had a folding phone back in the day. I think they're called feature phones now. I preferred it over my Nokia because it was harder to accidentally call someone or make weird noises.
Can't wait to go full circle (literally) and have a fully flexible scroll phone 📜
You laugh, but there are some OLEDs out there that can do it. Not scaled down to phone size yet, though.

Oh I want to open a scroll like that dramatically
No sane person buys a foldy phone, unless they completely fix the issue of it breaking because it got folded.
There are two types of people
- People who see phone as a tool to get things done, tools should be strong and can withstand wear and tear
- People who see phone as prized possession, they don't mind spending extra effort to ensure phone is treated nicely.
In my experience people who love folding phones have habit of taking care of their phones that no one is sitting on it on the couch, that keys are not in the same pocket as phone, etc etc
Then there are people like me who don't want to bother with taking care of a phone. And we hate folding phones. I like that sometimes my phone is on bed and I am sleeping I don't have to worry about what if i roll onto my phone in my sleep. I know my phone will live.
Who the hell keeps their phone in the same pocket as keys? 😱
Before having wireless earphones I had habit off putting keys with wallet and phone on its own, but since I switched to wireless earbuds they don't fit with large ass phones, so I have to put them with wallet. I already broke one case of earbuds pulling out keys from the pocket that had everything. I switched to keeping my phone and keys in the same pocket.
I've been doing that for almost a decade now and I don't see the value proposition of folding phones yet where I can justify changing my habits again and taking care of yet another tool in my life.
Maybe one day if they had full computer with root privileges in my pocket, I'd consider changing my habits to carry that and make sure it is taken care of.

Glad we're finally moving away from the featureless black rectangle era, might even pick up a foldable once the price drops.
Right‽ Lmao, for years:
Everyone: The slab is so boring! Why can't they just innovate!
Holly shit, I didn't know that interrobang symbol existed in utf-8.

Four-dimensional hyperphone
Phone case manufacturers just now figuring out good design for "Traditional" foldy devices
Source? I have a folding phone and every case I've seen or used is super frustrating
Which one? I have a Poetic Spartan for my Pixel 9 pro fold and it's been fantastic, I don't even use the stupid adhesive strips lol

Pretty soon we're going to be carrying cubes in our pockets
Or just use a normal phone that costs third as much. Or just use a pocket laptop if thats what you need because those can run linux and windows.

I have a foldy phone, I'm never going back.
if you want bigger screen just buy tablet....smh
I did, multiple times, sooo many times in all manner of price points, sizes, brands and even OSs (I've got fucking Windows tablets WITH cellular FFS just chilling in archive). Do you know what happened to them? They started collecting dust within a couple weeks
I don't want to carry multiple devices, even when I do want to I can never get the habit to stick, so I never have the tablet when I need it the most
My foldy phone solves that issue immediately, it's a phone when I need a phone and a tablet when I need a tablet.
Having a separate device for me, that I don't use all the time, is never going to stick, even if it is pocket sized. I always have my phone on me because I always use it, and now it can become a tablet when I need it too
Hmm maybe its just not something i would ever need. I guess i spoke for others without considering that.
Why have just one additional failure point when you can have two?
I like my phones like my katana: folded one bazillion times for superior durability
About a year late to the party and I bet it's gonna be a grand more expensive than other trifold options available
