Posted November 14, 2018 I wouldn't get one now but maybe in the future. Tech has to start somewhere, so I'm all for it; while I'm not interested, I'm sure they'll still sell tons of these. I'm more interested to see what off-shoot technologies come from foldable displays. Such things are often forgotten by tech "enthusiasts".

Posted November 14, 2018 Maybe in the future. I'm not a fan of big phones so I think it would be nice to be able to fold a normal sized phone to a tablet.
