No one can experiment on folding phones like LG
I was waiting for this year’s Samsung fold phone. After it was launched I decided to go ahead with the S21 ultra. Folds may be cool but they are fragile and underpowered. Not worth it IMHO.
People use cases? Manufacturers invest millions to make absolutely gorgeous phones just so people slap a $20 case to it that looks like shit and at the same time doesn't provide any protection at all unless you get the massive rugged ones... Maybe if you handled your phone with care you wouldn't buy into the illusion that you need one, haven't used one with my first phone 25 years ago, never did with any replacement after the fact...
What? Phone case manufacturers have an opportunity to sell more cases since people will not be able use their old ones. This is a win situation.
Why? there was never a demand for foldable phones.
but tell me why, do anyone has a use for it? I really don't and hard to think when I would need it
I had the LG GX8 ThinQ for a few months, liked the phone and the case idea(dual screen supporting case) but I dropped the thing twice and the screen shattered. One drop on grass left a chip on the plastic, there weren't any rocks that I could find but assume that's what it hit. The second time I dropped it onto a thick carpeted floor and the screen spider webbed. Neither LG nor my service provider would replace or fix it even with warranty. These things are made to look nice, function well and break super easily so that you are out that phone and still paying for it.
considering that from an engineering point of view any point of movement (including - bending) is the most problematic long term (and breaks the quickest) and in this case it's the phone itself - dunno dunno... not trusting it
Man I would love having a phone like that. Yea yea, problems problems, break easily bla bla bla. This stuff is freaking awesome.
