The reason is the rising memory chip prices. The memes about RAM prices are funny and all, but the consequences of the memory supply crunch are anything...
I have a Galaxy Fold 7 , just one fold, one half back screen and it is so much better than these huge screen phones that don’t fit anywhere. It runs fast, long battery life no issues except few apps work on the back screen for now.
I can’t recall who it was, either LG or Samsung, but I remember a device that had a screen that pulled/rolled out to become tablet size. I so wanted them to iterate on that idea.
Ooooh I remember that, It was the LG Rollable!
Unfortunately LG’s Mobile division went kaput. I have no idea if they sold off parts of it or the tech to anyone…
Hey, can we go back to legit flip phones and not this stupid tri-fold gimmick they keep trying to push around like AI?
you mean the one that sells out in minutes?
I actually like the form factor of the folds. I want them to get better.

Apple should invent it around 2027.
Just about the only recent development that seems innovative in any way instead of just “ooooh many megapixels” or “oooohhh so thin!”

You’re the MVP! I’m sorry, but how fucking cool was that?!
it looked cool but people found it practically difficult to use, the mechanism used a lot of power and was fragile.
Didn’t fold’s suck at first too?
Thanks for the info BTW. I hadn’t followed the development, so the insight is appreciated.
