What I liked
- Second screen could enable new features
- Rear camera could double as the selfie camera
- Larger display without a bigger footprint
- Possible 360 degree fold
- Being first to foldables boosts Samsung's innovative image
- Useful trial run to gather data before a mass-market foldable
What I didn't
- Thicker when folded
- Likely niche with low production
- Existing foldables are impractical
- Three displays is hard to justify
- Screen size maths in the leak does not add up
- Separate displays risk a visible divide
In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“this phone is not going to be for everyone it is a niche device”
“they'll release the revolutionary foldable galaxy X”
“fingers crossed it's the second one. Otherwise, to be honest, I can't see the viability of the device”
“carry a 7-inch display in the form factor of a five inch smartphone and that prospect is exciting”
“these aren't flexible phones these are more just vulnerable phones”
