To this day I still can't figure out what issue a folding phone solves. A thick brick like that is uncomfortable in pocket

Phones are getting very long and difficult to fit in pockets. Folded up, it's small and still thinner than a wallet.

I'd kinda like one, I'm finding it harder to find a pocket big enough to fit a regular phone in. It's either the big pockets on baggy trousers or a jacket pocket. I'd also be super weary to put a regular phone in other pockets where that huge exposed screen can be damaged easily.

But the foldable screen just replaces that problem with another one, so at this point it doesn't seem like a reasonable trade for me. But for people who tend to throw the phone in a handbag with 50 other things, this may be preferred.

You don't wear women's pants, do you? Either you don't or you carry a purse. Some of us wear women's pants and don't want to carry a purse. Smartphones in around 2010 were small enough to fit in our pants, but have grown so much that it just isn't possible nowadays unless you're comfortable with like 80% of your phone protruding from your pocket and ready to fall out. A folding phone solves this. Plus it's also fun lol.
