Seems like foldable phones are taking over (e.g. Motorola Razr making waves) and only Apple is missing an entry in this form factor now. Almost everyone who can afford one swears by it with the exception of weak build quality.
What do you think? Anyone has one?
Personally, I’m betting on rolling screens (like Oppo X 2021) which seems like the most convenient take.

Currently, I feel that it’s mostly a gimmick. However, I’m glad that they exist as they’ll just continue to get thinner and thinner to the point where they’re no longer a gimmick and many people will want them.
I think they’re cool, but they all end up with a crease on the screen. That will keep me from ever getting one.
Meh.
Now, show me a phone with a good physical keyboard, like my old Droid 3 had, and then you’ve got my attention!
I think there was a phone called the Cosmo Communicator or something from a UK company that had a physical keyboard and a touchscreen that seemed cool.

Ok this is sick. And for that price
They also have a newer model Astro Slide, but it’s significantly more expensive and has availability problems. I’ve had one since Christmas or so, though, and I’m happy with it. CC is fine as well, and indeed the sale seems quite good.
(I used to have their first phone as well, but truly AS would have been a much better first device to bring to the market, there really aren’t any fundamental flaws in it in my view.)
What do you think are the chances of them being around in 5 years time? I really want to get this as my next phone but for now I’m happy with my current phone (King Kong Mini 2)
I guess currently it doesn’t seem that great, given they’ve been unable to fulfill their Indiegogo campaign due to manufacturing woes. I hadn’t realized how lucky I was to receive this unit :).
I do hope they’ll survive, though, because I want to keep seeing qwerty phones—and have some support for this one…
