See the compact smartphone open and close, and its exterior status display.

This just in, folding phone can be folded...

Looks good, thinner than the fold which is a plus, and usable one handed.

That damn hole on the inside screen though, just kills it as a device. Shame, I would have been interested :(

Its thicker, folded or unfolded. (According to the leaked data, at least)

I thought the opposite on the last leak I saw. I guess we'll find out for sure in a week or so

Yeah, as suspected, looks like a chunky gimmick - and one that doesn't really fix any issues that I need solving. Foldable schmoldable.

Techy types like me don't see the point in it, fashion types will be all over it though, that is sadly who these companies market towards these days.

techy and easily see the point. It makes it much smaller to pocket... whilst still having a large screen

Semi-techy here too, and that is not in the slightest bit fashionable, in terms of form or function. Indeed, their attempts to make it seem fashionable are actually what makes it look a bit naff. I'll be interested in the grippy matte black plastic version, but not this one...
