I just don't understand who wants these foldable phones, especially at the $1799 price point. I guess a use case is wealthy frequent travelers who don't want a separate device with a larger screen to watch movies/videos on the go? Someone help me out here.

How is this company still in business?
Wealth and judgment are unrelated.
There’s a million ways to show off you are rich that would not result in you wasting your time.

Good job. Nit picking. Have a cookie. No wonder you miss the bigger point in life focusing on irrelevant details

I'm never going back. I only type and respond to things unfolded, I have big hands and the split keyboard + bigger buttons are great. Outside of that I'm a fairly big reader and I enjoy reading both articles and books unfolded and have no interest in bringing a second device to do so. I also write notes with stylus on it which is practical unfolded. More real estate for video etc. And then I can just fold it and use…
pixel fold doesn’t seem to have a stylus, does it?

Prediction: This is the prevailing opinion among people that would purchase it. It will have disappointing sales numbers and there will be no Fold 2.
Apple's coming out with a foldable phone within a year or two, which will be more than enough to scare Google into continuing this form factor.

It’s how the iPhone looked to bb users.
It’s how the Note 1 Phablet looked compared to 4” smart phones
You can only go so big in a phone.
If Apple nails the iPhone max that unfolds into an iPad mini while minimizing thickness, it will be hard to ignore.
Really looking forward to future generations of foldables when the price is closer to $1000 than $2000. I've had my Flip 3 for almost 2 years now and it's been a blast; I'm genuinely interested in the larger foldable size, but the price is still too steep for me.
Yeah - I understand the technology is complex, but if you think about it you can buy a iPhone 14 Pro and an iPad Pro 11” for the same price as a single foldable. Maybe it is too soon for foldables, but usually “all in one” devices trend towards being cheaper than buying the devices seperately they are supposed to replace, since they are usually lesser versions of each device (IE a super thick normal phone, and a smal…
Neat devices but not really pragmatic.

I use a Fold 4, which technically doesn't either, but Samsung provides a sort of dumb stylus that works pretty well plus case for some small additional amount. I imagine Google can do something similar.
The Fold 4 stylus is Wacom, not a "dumb" capacitive stylus if that is what you mean (unless you specifically bought that). Maybe you meant no recharging needed?
Yikes. Google hasn't magically figured out how to fix the problem with the screens failing after a few hundred bends; neither has Samsung, which is most likely their display supplier. On top of that, there is no viable market for a phone over $1200 (and, arguably, no market for over $1000, ask Apple how their sales have been going down since the peak in 2015); what were they even thinking? This is ridiculous even for…

I have a note 10+ and the stylus is a game changer, I would like a wider screen for taking notes but can't justify the cost. Also my note is nearly 4 years old and showing no sign of slowing down or battery issues.
No sign of battery issues is huge, I'm still rocking my 3 year old Pixel 3a and recently replaced the battery, it was a night and day difference. General slowness/lack of responsiveness, half day battery life. Been like that with all my other smart phones since 2013. Would love my next phone to go on year 4 with no sign of battery degradation (although in lieu of that I'll take an easy to replace battery).
> slowness / lack of responsiveness
Are you saying that replacing the battery improved your phone's responsiveness? I knew there was a throttling thing with iPhones but hadn't heard of anything outside of that.
