I haven't met anyone yet who does and I haven't read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks

Very interesting, thanks for answering.

Why won't you ever go back to an unfoldable phone, because of the screen size?

How are the speakers?

Thanks!

I like small phones, or, rather, I hate carrying around a quasi-tablet in my jeans. Folding phones reduce the size for carrying, while allowing good screen size for use.

The speakers are fine, but I'll admit I don't use them for music - only calls, or short YT clips. When I'm listening to music, I use either my earbuds, or an external BT speaker. I wouldn't, like, use the built-in speakers to play music at a party, for instance. I can't say I've met a phone yet that I would.

Okay, cool. I enjoyed the HTC 7 front facing speakers so much and never understood why that extremely successful experiment was not repeated en masse.

I do like the idea of carrying around a smaller screen that I can unfold.

I wonder if the next thing is just to carry around a tiny foldable screen that can unfold like 48 times into a giant screen you can just slap all the wall and connect your phone to to play a movie for friends.

Thanks
