Hear me out: Foldable phones might look cool, but they don’t add significant value compared to traditional smartphones. The durability concerns, extra weight, and high costs don’t seem justified for what they offer in terms of functionality.

Do you agree, or do you think foldables are the future of mobile tech? Let’s have a friendly debate!

    They’re a stepping stone more than a gimmick. I only have so much room in my pocket and a tablet doesn’t fit. Using a shoulder bag rather than the pocket sewn into the clothing I’m wearing is less ergonomic. When designers finally begin accepting my suggestion of shirts with built-in totes, we’ll no longer require foldables

      I don’t want to hold a tablet up to my ear, and I want the privacy from holding my phone to my ear (vs a speaker phone)
