I haven't met anyone yet who does and I haven't read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks

When you mentioned a large screen, are these screens noticeably larger than a non-foldable phone? Is that the draw?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

With the Flip, I'd say the size when flipped open is similar to many other smartphones on the larger side. However, I think that regular phones of that size are quite inconvenient though, so the draw for me is having that large screen size but being able to fold it to something much more compact that isn't annoying to carry around.

Do you still have to open it to use the screen?

Or is there some kind of outer screen?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It has a small outer screen for notifications and the like. The newer models from the Flip 5 onwards have a full outer screen that can be used for pretty much everything though.
