Other than the novelty of it, I don’t see the attraction of folding devices. Other than folding it doesn’t do anything that my non-folding smartphone doesn’t.
Oh I know! I knew a guy that had one, it was pretty cool! I especially liked that you could fold it so that people you’re taking a picture of can see the camera view same as you.
Not sure about the flip phone shown in image but my Fold4 was bought in attempt to replace my laptop which I have to lug around with me constantly due to work. So far it’s able to do around 85% of my work, which is good enough. Definitely not a phone for everyone, but for what I use it, it does the job pretty well. There are downsides of course, but benefits as well. Bigger screen does come handy but not as often, unless used as laptop with bluetooth keyboard and similar. I have used it on few occasions as sketchpad, because I have a pen and a huge screen.
Yes, it doesn’t. Noone needs one of these, and that’s ok. The 4:3 ratio is irritating, but getting two rows of videos on youtube is soooo nice when just looking for a video.

Ever try to stuff a modern phone into a small purse?
Form factor has been a complaint since the HTC EVO.
Yes, it’s why I got an iphone 12 mini. Super small! I don’t know how people deal with the huge ones that are practically a small tablet.
Right, but the fold has the benefit of a small form factor that can become a small tablet when desired!

They fit in a pocket.
They look super thick though. I can’t imagine that being very comfortable in a pocket.
No thicker than a wallet.
Not really noticeable unless you wear super tight clothing and you get used to the weight.
I would kill for a smaller sized phone at an affordable price and good/decent spec.
