Never understood the reason of foldable smartphones, like what was their intended usecase?

[–] Blankenstejner@lemmy.world 2 points 7 minutes ago

For me it would be to have a single device that could work as both a phone and tablet, so compact when folded for portability while having the option for using a big screen when needed.

The only usecase for foldables that made sense is that since phones keep on getting bigger, so having a foldable phone would save some pocket space. However, I think phones stopped growing after 6" and foldable phones have been considerably more expensive. People are just more comfortable with a normal "slab" phone.

I was confused but In the article it says foldable smartphone.
