$2,000 Phone - Galaxy Fold

[The Franchise]

So from it looks like.....I can basically have a phone that's the size of two phones in my pocket now....for twice the cost.

Yeah....**** no.

Check my post from yesterday.

Would you be interested in a phone that folds in half instead?

Honestly? Probably not at this point. I don't see what benefits it would give me other than saving space. And even then you're only saving space one way. Taking my current phone and folding it in half is just going to make a bulkier product for my front pocket.

I don't even get the fascination with going back to "foldable phones". What benefits am I getting out of it?

Of course, it depends on design but the idea is that you could get a screen the size of an S10+ or XS Max in a phone that won't actually stick out of your pocket when you stow it. If the design is thin enough, the folded phone would be a bit smaller than a deck of cards.

I know guys at my office that have wallets a lot thicker than a full size deck of cards, but think a foldable phone would be too thick. Whatever.

I have a iphone 6+. I could stack three of them together and it would fit just fine in my front pocket.

I don't have any interest in paying $2000 for a fragile phone, but if the technology gets more robust and affordable, I would be very interested in it.

I can understand if you walk around with your phone trying to use it one handed, you don't want it too thick and heavy, but I rarely do that. I'm almost always sitting down when I use the phone so I would use it in tablet mode. A bigger screen would be nicer than having to dig out reading glasses.
