Leaked Renders Allegedly Reveal Samsung's Foldable Phone Hours Ahead of Launch Event

[AustinIllini]

Samsung has to answer two questions for this to make sense
1) What does this do better than a smartphone?
2) What does this do better than a tablet?

If it's a fat smartphone and a bad tablet, for $2000 you can get a phone and a tablet and keep them separately.

Am I the only one that firmly believes this is a total garbage product?

Huge, chunky, thick, tiny screen when closed, asymmetrical notch, expensive. Not to mention I don’t want my phone to fold. Ever.

I love the elegance of a single flat, sturdy, contiguous surface. Displays have been that way since the inventon of the television and that’s the way they should always be. I hope to high heavens Apple never goes down this path just to be trendy or hip with what all the cool kids are doing - it’s just bad, inelegant design.

Innovation for innovation’s sake without taking into account long term real world use and user use cases will always lead to disaster.

Why have a tablet and a smartphone when you can make huge compromises to both experiences for the convenience of only having one device?!

I can’t wait to have this big chunky phone in my pocket... said no one ever.

Yes it’s not good. But it’s the first practical example of the genus, and in the future hopefully these things will be better and someone will figure out a good use for the technology.

Comments are salty as hell. I can't even imagine how loved would be Apple for doing this. It's a breakthrough tech and it's just sad some of you can't accept that.

Have you seen comments when Apple added Touch Bar to MacBook Pro? Yeah, exactly.


So, your comment is just ad hominem.

 

[TroyBoy30]

Got any examples of where this has happened in the past?

Literally every feature apple has copied.

Your opinion is based on farts.....
First, I didn’t make an account on this website to post my hate about Apple or to read rumors. In fact, you can read the rumors and news without an account
It was made to help, share opinions and get help when needed on the forum section.
However, I do find it necessary to help blind consumers to think about their purchases.

Yeah, you're lots of help and I'm sure really fun at parties too.

You don't really believe that, do you?



Are you implying that anyone who criticises Apple is also a "hater"?

That is incredibly simplistic way of looking at it.

Some of us who are critical of Apple in some areas have come a long way with Apple.

Nope. But anyone who wastes their time to troll on a site for a company they "don't like" is either unemployed or as you put it, a hater. If you don't know a hater post when you see it then you probably are one.

That looks like a usability nightmare.

It's actually more useful than the Touch Bar and better positioned.

LOL...the Touch Bar didn't add double thickness to the MacBook and doesn't have moving parts.
