    Foldables are never going to take off.

    What we really need is rollables. Give me a scroll type phone please.

        A slap bracelet smartwatch sounds interesting.

        It would probably need a breakthrough in flexible batteries as well as better displays though.

          batteries could sit on the flat parts of the wrist (top/bottom). the real issue is the softness of flexible displays that wouldn’t have a clamshell protecting them from exposure.

      That’s a lot less viable than a foldable is. It’s absolutely an improvement in theory, but that doesn’t mean we can do it any time soon.
