When the very first cars were built, only the rich could afford it, but now a large part of the population (in developed countries) has one or more.

What do you think will be such an evolution in the future?

    Sorry for wording my comment so weirdly. I just had to look up some phone’s names, since I‘m kinda put of the loop with the new models.

    A Samsung Fold like phone I get. It is, like you said, a phone when folded and a tablet when unfolded. I see that being useful.

    A phone in the style of a Samsung Flip I don’t get. That’s what I meant with the normal size when unfolded and small, thick square when folded part. It has a tiny screen when folded that barely seems usable. It seems like you get all the faults and none of the benefits with this design.

    Excuse my poor wording again.

      Ohh, yeah to be honest I’m totally with you on the Flip lol - I guess it makes sense if you don’t use your phone a lot and want something that is very easy to tuck away when not in use.

      I’m not even sure they sell a lot of the Flips tbh, I’ve never seen someone irl with one

      I could maybe see it if the whole front of the folded phone was it’s one display, so that instead of a phone/tablet hybrid it’s a microphone/phone hybrid sort of thing…
