IDK but i think the americans have more problems to care about than the need for the "coolest foldable smartphone" just saying πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

My sentiments exactly. Anyone worried about this can suck it, our society is crumbling.

Foldable phones are stupid and i will never buy one.

If you want to say they're not ready for prime time or have issues that still need to be worked out is one thing

But they're not stupid, a tablet's biggest problem is that they're a second device you need to carry around to be of use. Being able to have a small tablet with you at all times and there when you need it the most is a good idea

Plus the tech that went into it to make glass fold in half is freaking cool lol

I have owned 2 ipads and have yet to find something it truly excels at that a phone or a laptop wont cover.

I guess im saying they are a solution in search of a problem.
