MODERATORS
The phrase "what's stopping you" implies we're all interested, but hesitant.
This is a really, really bad assumption.
Uhh the price tag? I just bought a new phone after 6 years of honoured service from my old one, payed the new one a whopping 300€ and it already felt like a rip off. Ain't no way I'm paying four digits for a phone.
First, the price point is stupid
Second, I don't trust a folding monitor to last
Third, every other time I've gone to a platform that's different from what 99% of apps are written for, I've felt frustrated because the apps didn't take advantage of that and here I was with support for that but no benefit to me.
Why the fuck would I want mechanical stress?
Since getting a wearable display, screens are no longer a priority.
Like a smartwatch? I'd love the z fold for notes and such as well as games and video but I have reservations over durability and price.
Nah. A sunglasses form-factor, head-mounted display. Only 1080p per eye but does the trick. It's been a game changer for how I prefer to interact with devices. My current phone doesn't support DisplayPort AltMode, unfortunately, but that is going to be a priority for me on the next one.
Which glasses?
My clothes have pockets
Z Fold 3 fits in the little phone pockets (thigh welt pockets) on my Kuhl pants. Most notably, the Surface Duo does not.
Too fragile. Too expensive.
