Foldables are never going to take off.

What we really need is rollables. Give me a scroll type phone please.

A slap bracelet smartwatch sounds interesting.

It would probably need a breakthrough in flexible batteries as well as better displays though.

batteries could sit on the flat parts of the wrist (top/bottom). the real issue is the softness of flexible displays that wouldn’t have a clamshell protecting them from exposure.

That’s genuinely exactly what I want

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

That's a lot less viable than a foldable is. It's absolutely an improvement in theory, but that doesn't mean we can do it any time soon.

Give me the Global from Earth Final Conflict.
