All phones all foldable. Unfortunately, only a few are unfoldable.

I'm not a fan bc of the reduced durability but I know a lot of people love the gimmick
My friend has the folding Pixel, and he loves it. He hasn't had any issues with it.
I hope they don't so I can enjoy my superior clamshell designs in peace.
Last thing I need is a bunch of braindead apple users getting hyped up over features Nintendo made 2 decades ago, followed by every Android OEM realizing they can stop improving the hardware and downgrade the hinge to save 5 cents on every device produced.
Not to mention foldables require a minimum semblance of device care, which I can personally assure you most phone owners do not have.

Don't.... stop... you can only make Apple executives so hard.
Until they work like in Westworld, I’m gonna hold off.
Screw that, I want them to work like Earth: Final Conflict. Don’t fold, roll up into a handle that also contains the camera and other non-screen bits. No crease if it never creases.
It even had portrait and landscape modes based on how much of it you pulled out. Portrait mode shown above.
I loved this idea at the time but... that roll out screen would just break on every use. That and I doubt people would want a two handed user experience. Plus, how would you text?
Maybe they’ll be able to solve the crease issue. Foldables are fun and all, but the crease is so jarring.
Truly leaders of their industry.
