[@sancungbalaxy]

I want the 3 way fold with the display outside. I would love to have a device which is a phone when I'm on the go and becomes a tablet when I need it. The current fold is amazing, but the unfolded aspect ratio is not good for media and gaming, if it can unfold to a 16 by 9 or even 21 by 9, it would be the best mobile device ever.

[@xXSinForLifeXx]

Agree the aspect ratio is my biggest issue.

[@WELVAS.]

Totally agree! I just want my three in one already (phone, tablet, and laptop)!!! The black threefold looks like the one to do it and have a big enough screen.

Same! Is there a good one coming out?

[@الزعيمباباميمووسمسم]

Would you see i phone 17pro max

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

Yup. Galaxy Flex S is what a foldable phone SHOULD BE.

[@IvyANguyen]

The tri-folding S model seems most intriguing if it has a back panel in one of the folds so one can use it on-the-go without opening it. Ideally a folding phone would be able to replace both smartphone & tablet simultaneously.

@@mrmurray4374 thanks for the advice. I got the flip 4 a few months ago and it is still holding together after a couple drops. It's not like I can return it. I try to take care of it but I already knew the repair costs would be high. Most phone manufacturers will charge a lot for repairs. I will have to change things like the screen myself when it breaks. It was a good deal because I only paid a few hundred upgrading my oukitel K12 to the flip 4. I feel bad for one of my friends. Her flip 4 screen broke randomly one day. Probably going to happen to me too within a year or two.

[@GarryMah85]

I like that Flex Note idea. I always prefer a large screen whether I'm working or watching KZbin video, but lugging around a 17 inch laptop is a hassle. And it looks like it could be split into dual display which is great too.

[@JessefollowJesus]

Yes yes yes, but we are small timing. We need a phone that: • Doesn't run out of battery until it breaks. •Shock proof, waterproof • It can fly and follow the owner, taking pictures or play music while they walk. • Its oragami. Full tablet sized screen, that comes from a small square or circle. • 5 TB internal storage with external as well (in case you want to download the internet). Also, this goes to everyone... free

[@just_mdd4]

That is an absolute pipe dream, particularly the origami form factor. I'm not even going to regard a flying phone.

[@richardreckons1133]

Probably should mention that the Flex S, Flex G and Flex Note concept form factors in this video made my jaw drop with happiness. I'm now going to watch the clip again.

[@Desgeneratico]

I´ll get a foldable like the G when the battery and cameras are at flagship level. I want the screen aspect ratio to match video formats rather than being close to squared. Either S or G shape would be my choice.

[@maximusstorm1215]

Check out the Honour Magic V. That has the aspect ratio sorted out. It's the best foldable hands down atm, but sadly only available in China. I believe you're able to buy them online still but it would be a lot of faffing around, I imagine. Check it out if you haven't. Also has the sleekest design. Not biased either, I don't know much about Honour. Just that their foldable is amazing. I imagine it's a prototype they're testing in China. Their second drop will be amazing.

[@anthonycompetente3215]

I'm looking forward for "Flex S" but I think it would be better if Samsung will attach built in laser keyboard on it. It would be more convenient for someone (like me) who likes to be productive but less hassle on what to bring. I mean, come on! Who would not love a device that is as productive as laptops/computer can do and gives the same feeling because of its "nearly the same" screen size but more advance and more convenient on just a hand.

[@maximusstorm1215]

Just connect a Bluetooth keyboard to it and put plenty of adhesive, grippy pads on the bottom so it stays put and doesn't scratch your device. Go for a slim one too. Then, whenever you wanna use it like a laptop, place the keyboard on top of the screen you wished it actually were. You can also get very slim, foldable keyboards that are much more portable. Besides, I can't imagine it won't have a feature to be used like a laptop considering it more or less is one.

I have my heart set on the larger Flex G....IF: 1. It had a cover display 2. Aspect ratio that was more portrait friendly when unfolded into a tablet 3. Was also a phone - It would have to potential to be the world's first true 3 - in - 1 - Phone, Tablet and Laptop ( Samsung Dex + type keyboard/trackpad cover)

[@Mikaci_the_Grand_Duke]

The polarizer was not simply added to the screen, the additional layer was there before too, but it is now rather integrated in the Eco OLED instead of simply adding it as a new layer. I think your explanation is a bit misleading the way you quickly described this innovation.

[@robinsong2781]

Not a polarizer. Samsung phone added a color filter. Polarizer was the one that caused the power regression of panel efficiency.

[@---us7qf]

I've already got the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2. After buying it, I did promise myself that I shan't be giving Samsung anymore of my money, until the 6th iteration comes out. But, that Slider phone has my name written all over it. Damn IT!

[@Nubrigtube]

The Z Fold3 actually removed (not added) the polarizer filter in between the layers making it need less energy and as a bonus perk you can view the inner screen with polarized sunglasses without having to worry about it getting dark.

[@userwest626]

how do call those? slide out phone? retacable ? or flaxable fold ?

S but with the screen on the outside, so it has less crease and has 2/3 screens usable even when folded. You can also build a stand on the inside with a camera so you don't need the screens to hold them.

[@_MaxHeadroom_]

What he said at 1:24 is so true. Even as a tech oriented 22 year old in 2018 when I first heard Samsung had patents for folding phones it was one of those "I'll believe it when I see it" moments. Hard to believe it went from that to ironed out Gen 4 devices in less than four years.

[@nightwing8666]

Would love to see the next Gen z fold. The flip is not really interesting to me. You don't get any screen size advantages and it just becomes thicker so it's not even easier to pocket. A z fold gives you that flexibility of a bigger screen when you need it, but right now the display aspect ratios are not it i hope they can make it perfect this year

[@Thetechchap]

I agree! I’m looking forward to a fold 4 as well

[@TheAmeriCanuck]

I've geeked over getting a Fold, but as I see it more and being only 7.6" when it folds out, I still need a bigger screen at home. So would still look to get a large tablet like the S8 or S7+...maybe even the S8 Ultra

[@carlpilon9563]

I have the fold 3 which has had the screen protector changed 3 times now on my door step. Samsung have been excellent, however I can not see the benefit of upgrading to the fold 4. Is they released the 3 folding phone I would be all over it. Not sure how the case would work. I would love to play with demo to see if 3 screens are really better than 2. So many people get phone envy over the fold 3.

[@lytken]

as long as they are not completely dust proof when they are folded together, they have no interest, because then the screens are quickly scratched when they are in a pocket or a bag, and it is strange that they are not working more on getting this implemented in their telephones

Let's be honest, the reason phone manufacturers have delayed folding phones for so long is because people will no longer need to buy tablets. I saw Samsungs foldable OLED displays at a tech demo event 15 (yes 15!) Years ago.

Interesting comment. At the same time, with tablet's price tag being significantly below that of foldables, with pretty similar functionality, for me it is the other way around...

​@@sgrp2706 , yup. Essentially, it means that, as of today, consumer is facing the choice of: 1) a foldable with slightly less functionality, more wow-factor, slightly higher mobility at a very high price vs 2) tablet+headphones with sligtly more functionality, no wow-factor, slightly more cumbersome, at a much more reasonable price.

Before somebody says "it's just a tablet that folds", please realise that's precisely the high-end form factor I wanted to be created so the Flex Note is far from "just a tablet that folds" in my mind.

Fold 4 is already great at what it is, they only need to make it thinner closer to an actual phone, and with slight reduction in price people will start to adopt.

[@si12volt1]

that flex g would be best ....that flex s looks good until the binding where the soft screen is open to pocket and scratches these fold inner screens are sensitive to scratches and deep gouges ..these screens to fold have to be soft ...really don't want to be so careful i have to worry about that while using or on pocket... what happens if its dropped and lands on that soft screen crease ... hopefully they figure this out because for the price they need to get this right

[@ediwong1575]

Slide look much ideal for me, currently Z fold 4, looking for it in future!

[@marverickbin]

I think that the best potential is the flex G, but even bigger. And if this small laptop is 12 inch 16:10, when fully opened is a 22 inch , 15:8, what is insane! a workstation! The screen ratios wouldnt be as square as the single folding screens (like zenbook fold 17), so, even more screen for playing videos in standard 16:9. And also if you incorporate a magnetic keyboard on the back of one the folded parts it becomes a 12 inch laptop

[@chocolatechipcookie1541]

That is much a pretty much cool next-gen. They will become the devices of the future with stronger storage and contentions and upgrade the home.

[@yanassi]

First, practical portability. It’s being used outdoors so a placed in bag that could carry a 9x12 notebook or folder (8.5x11 papers) is small enough. I can’t imagine being outside and opening a 17” display, for that size i will be home with my desktop. 13” is very adequate. Rain resistance. S-pen or better utility. Dual operating systems, mobile plus a real os capable. Folded dimension is not as important as it’s open dimension for video viewing (4:3).

...OR what about just being able to connect 2 phone screens side by side together in a case to form and share one screen? Sure they'll be a little black line and a small gap in between (like having 2 PC screens side by side) but on the upside you could also have more power (2 CPUs, etc) and not have to worry about a crease or cracking in the middle of the screen either and then you have the flexibility to step back to a normal sized phone when you separate them again. Sure it will be thicker too in your pocket, but at least you'll still have a use for your old phone when you buy a new one too - to combine them together to form a bigger screen. Besides, what's the point of me getting a Fold 3 for multitasking on a split screen when the screens are going to become so small anyway? I'm sure such technology would be cheaper and more readily able to be developed then all these fold screens too.
