It’s going to end up like razor blades, eventually someone will make a phone with 5 screens.
WHO NEEDS THIS???
The problem with current folds is that one of the two screens will have a suboptimal aspect ratio. A trifold could solve this
From what I hear it’s useful for traveling. You can have a phone and tablet in one.
So what do I do with the phone and tablet I already have that cost less and works better than this?

Does it even matter at this point? Any phone that costs more than $1000 is too much regardless.

If you need to ask, you can’t afford it
Does anybody actually want one of these things?
I do. The only reason I don’t want any of the current foldable phone is because they are still too small to be a proper “tablet but fits pocket when folded”.
With a tri-fold system it could easily have a main screen size beyond 10", and then it’s finally getting into proper tablet sizes.
The real strength of current foldables, and why I love mine, is it’s ability to multitask at a moment’s notice. I really like being able to open it up and have each side used for a different thing. I also like holding it like a book-like ereader.
It’s also unmatched as an emulator for ds games, which I value a lot! Maybe those things aren’t for everyone, but the form factor really suits some stuff that I like to do frequently on my phone
I suspect that most of the sales will be to tech reviewers on YouTube.
How do you keep such a phone safe from scratches. I can’t imagine it lasting a long time
