You misunderstood. It’s not practical for YOU. It’s practical for Samsung who constantly needs a new gimmick to continue to hike the price of flagship devices higher.
? Just because it’s not practical for everyone doesn’t mean it’s “just a gimmick”.
Modern smartphones are freaking gigantic. Women’s pants pockets are comically tiny. Modern smartphones physically would not fit in the majority of my pants. I bought a Z Flip so I could fit a modern phone in my pants and not be forced to carry around a purse.
The length is important for women’s pants pockets, not necessarily the thickness. It is practical for me. No, it’s not practical for everyone.
I bought a wallet case so its only as big as a wallet. Now I only have one object in my pockets instead of 2. Without the case its pretty slim folded up.
Yea, book style foldables (even though they still have the thickness, complexity and price tag) at least offer far more usefulness being able to deliver a near-tablet size screen when needed and a somewhat regular smartphone when not
These flip phones are nothing but a nostalgia cash grab IMO
Until they can protect the hinge better, I wouldn’t be able to purchase one of these over a slab style phone. A grain of fine sand would ruin this phone’s life. I’m waiting on the time when foldable devices improve drastically enough for me to get one.
