are foldable smartphones an expensive fad or the future? - touch the screen

The future of smartphones may be foldable.
Combine tablets with smartphones in a device that can be placed in your pocket.
These new devices will be on the market soon, but some people think that there may be design flaws in foldable products, they are still making exciting things, while others predict, smartphones will now be "like tech dinosaurs ".
Jack Wallen of Tech Republic thinks the new smartphone is a "gimmick", adding that the smartphone industry is no stranger to the snake --
Oil sales ".
He believes that the fatal weakness of foldables is that they fold --
Can crease.
Valen warned: "bend enough (
You don't even have to fold it in half)
In the end, there will be a nasty crease on the original flawless surface.
"He predicts that creases will be a kind of eye nail and will also prevent users from seeing the content and making the screen untouchable.
Warren believes that the mobile industry is trying to convince you that what you need next is a foldable product and users should not be fooled.
He concluded: "The bottom line is that if you bend a foldable material, it will eventually leave a mark.
The only way is not to turn on the folding phone.
"It's like having a pixel 3 that doesn't use the camera or the Samsung Galaxy 10, but using Bixby via Google Assistant or having Zuckerberg's private phone number, and never called him to complain about Facebook's privacy.
However, Bob O'Donnell of USA Today called and they "created a sense of tangible excitement ". . .
There are good reasons ".
Foldables, he said, "represents the first real new phone design in more than 10 years ".
O'Donnell believes: "By combining the advantages of large screens with smaller device sizes, foldables offers the best choice for both worlds.
"In fact, I think this progress is important enough that by around 2021 the existing smartphones will look and feel like tech dinosaurs --
Most people turn to folding design ".
He added that their screens offer "the first opportunity to produce highly differentiated products over a period of time ".
The traditional smartphone screen does not change very often, while foldables will have a "fold screen, others will have a fold screen, some will have multiple different screens, some will have only one, each may have a unique change in camera placement, hinge design, etc. ".
O'Donnell said he was "very much looking forward to this very exciting, very different future that foldables brought about ".
