That’s the thing, for multitasking a foldable’s screen size is not even remotely as transformative as a 10+ or even 12 inches proper tablet, while for just the most basic “have each side for different thing”, which I guess is like the lowest possible standard we can have for multitasking, a conventional non-foldable phone doesn’t do it that much worse, you just turn your phone horizontal and do split screen in landscape orientation.

On the other hand, with a 12" proper tablet you can meaningfully have 4 or even 6 windows showing on your screen at the same time, for some real multitasking, at a moment’s notice.

My point is that current foldable phones don’t offer enough screen size, to be transformative enough to justify the long list of downside you have to deal with, like fragile screen, screen fold crease, etc.

Consider Sony Xperia 1 series then, they always have fully open policy regarding to unlocking and rooting with no deliberate restrictions whatsoever, took me less than a minute to root my Xperia 1 VI shortly after I got it. Also their very AOSP-like ROMs make modding much easier too.

Also I bet you don’t find many other flagship phones in 2024 that still have both SD card and headphone jack lol

I do. The only reason I don’t want any of the current foldable phone is because they are still too small to be a proper “tablet but fits pocket when folded”.

With a tri-fold system it could easily have a main screen size beyond 10", and then it’s finally getting into proper tablet sizes.
