With Apple seemingly throwing their hat in the ring with a foldable iPhone as well as offerings from manufactures like Motorola and Samsung what's your view on the return of the hinge? Are you leaning towards the fold or the flip? Or planning to stick with the bar?
 
I doubt anyone here has even used a new fold or flip smartphone let alone know which they prefer. At 50k I'll stick with the bar, and I doubt the price will ever be the same as a regular phone. The benefits of a dual screen at the extra cost don't seem worth it unless you're a super on-the-go business person who needs a lot of mobile screen real-estate.

In which case you carry a phone and a tablet like any normal person.

These folding and flip smart phones are a great technological exercise. Like a Bugatti Veyron. Showcase what the company can do, but sold at a loss and even then not really a mainstream product.
 
More than happy with the current design. Those slide phones were notorious for having issues.

I'm sure tech has advanced to the stage where hinges and displays can be quite resilient but the cost/benefit doesn't make much sense to me
