Aren't Samsung doing an unbroken double screen phone at the moment? That will be a lot more useful I'd say.

I'd agree with that, but for MS it's a step in the right direction though with Android on board rather than another Windows mobile lames duck attempt.

I don't understand the point.
It's too big to be a phone (no way that'll fit in a pocket), and suffers from not being a tablet with a big watchable screen....because it's two small(ish) screens.I thought they reason every other manufacturer was going with proper folding screens was to get the best of both worlds? This seems to sit between them instead.

Itβll be good for people at work which may be its primary market? Canβt otherwise see anyone wanting that as their private phone.

Just so you know, I couldn't find this any less interesting. So a phone, yeah? Already got one, cheers. Next.

It's only a 5.6 inch screen when folded. I could see that replacing my Pixel and Surface for mobile duties.
Nice to see innovation in the Phone market

Looked pretty awkward imo. Too big to be held in one hand or fit in a pocket, too small to be a laptop alternative or have a decent sized keyboard.

Look at the size of it when she holds it to her face @43s - looks bigger than that. Or she's an oompa loompa.

Bear in mind it's a woman's wielding it . I think it's cracking but I bet it'll be rudely priced.
A foldable screens would have to be out for a while before I take the plunge as I'm a little sceptical about their longevity.
