Notable bits:
Next year, Huawei and Samsung plan to introduce more competitively priced foldable phones, and other Android manufacturers are expected to follow suit, driving accelerated expansion in the foldable phone market.
Recent reports from industry insiders suggest that Huawei’s development of a triple-foldable screen phone is progressing smoothly and may be ready for launch before March next year. It’s expected that two triple-foldable screen phones will be introduced in 2024.
Supply chain sources have also revealed that Samsung is planning to bring foldable phones to the mid-range market next year, further reducing price barriers and making foldable phones more accessible to a broader range of consumers.
Smartwatches and folding smartphones. Maybe tech is converging on wearable devices.
e.g. Buzz Lightyear’s arm device, Mass Effect’s omni-tool. Flexible screens. Foldable blocks. Computation devices and display devices which are separate and connected wirelessly. Put the heavier computational part in your pocket or backpack or on your belt. Wear a flexible touchscreen on your wrist or forearm. Sounds cool. I’d be interested in wearable flexible tech like that.
But I wouldn’t be interested in devices which are basically a phone which can fold into 2 or 3 smaller blocks.

The advantage of a phone that folds into a smaller square is that it more easily fits in pockets. I know generally this isn’t an issue for men, but women’s pockets are pitifully tiny. It’s nice to be able to own a phone that finally fits into my damn pants pocket.
