I wonder how many folding phones will survive until the next World Cup.
98%* of people will not understand anything about this cringe show.
*1,9% Android fanboys, 0,1% foldables owners.

What about all the Samsung phones that don’t fold?
Pro tip: All Samsung phones can fold with enough force. Give it a go.
Funny ad. But I don't want a folding phone that's less hardy and maybe shorter, but clearly bulgier in my pocket thanks.
If I start carrying around a 5" x 5" handbag I'll get back to you...

At least fold to be something practical. Folding from a phone to a useless cube serves zero purpose. That's why no one is copying it. lol No one needs a phone to fold into a cube.
Now if it folded from a phone to a tablet, then you would get my attention.

I was thinking the same but including iPhones too. Any of them can be folded once
Current apple is susceptible to these market pressures so I expect they want to release a foldable phone to compete in this space. They all seem pointless to me right now but maybe it gets right and we all have folded phones in the future. Right now just seems like a solution chasing a problem
People need to chill it's an advertisement. Looks like it did what it's suppose to as well. Provoke people and stir up conversations.
I have yet to find any real reason for foldable phones. They don’t fit in your pocket easier, which I would think would be the only reason to change the form factor. Does anyone out there really see a reason to fold your phone? If so I would be very curious as to why this is even a thing. It seems like the only thing non-apple phone manufacturers talk about these days, besides the google pixel “magic eraser” which is just a built in photoshop feature from 15 years ago…
Apple Mocks Samsung for Lack of Sales Revenue in The Smartphone Business.
Nobody wants a foldable phone. Niche market, for a niche need. You can get an iPhone 14 and an iPad mini for half the cost of a fold
Stop it already omfg
The Flip style foldables are such a gimmick. At least the Z Fold has some extra practicality thanks to the small tablet sized screen. The Flip literally has no selling point over an iPhone or a regular S series phone.
Good luck trying to convince iPhone users to give up their preferred operating system for a major usability inconvenience that comes at the cost of durability.

If any phone folds more than 7 times I will be impressed.
My iPhone isn't sad - it always keeps it's back straight & maintains good posture.
All I need is new iPhone twice as tick that folds into a little square, and fits just the same in my pocket.
And a crease on my new plastic screen of course.
