#32Now roll me a 27” screen on my laptop and a 13” on my phone
Lenovo has a laptop with a rolling screen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GsJi1KvHhA

#33I don't really care to roll it up but why not an bit soft? To cup in my hand or fitted in my pocket would be nice instead of this brick. We can make lighter thinner phones if they don't need so much rigidity.

#34That was too delicate for everyday use. Phones get the crap kicked out of them. They need to be really robust. I have an iPhone 17 Pro, and it's the first one that I've had (since the SE), that seems to have some "clunk" to it. I've already dropped it a couple of times, with no issues. I want one of those "shake to flip" phones they had in Geostorm .
Yeah, one trip to the beach, and it's all seized up/scratched.

#35Direct link to video: https://youtu.be/vDMpANNGND4 The site also puts two non-youtube video ads in front of the youtube video so you can't just watch it.
Those are YouTube ads. YouTube shows more ads in embedded videos than when watched on YouTube itself.

The batteries have to be rigid. That's the problem at the moment.

#37Phone mechanisms which worked for me: - the original Motorola StarTac "Star Trek Communicator" flip. - the Danger Hiptop / Sidekick II rotating screen-over-keyboard - the Motorola Droid slide-out keyboard - the OnePlus 7Pro slide-out selfie-cam Only that last one was motorized, but mine is still working. Holes and divots and islands and any other kind of screen interference is strictly inferior.
The slide out cam on the One Plus 7 Pro was exceptional. I still miss it sometimes.

Came here to say this. Glad to see it already posted. I remember going to CES every year in the mid/late 00’s, and always badgering vendors about their roll up oled advances, bend radius, tensile strength, impact resistance, failure behavior, etc… after a few years it became clear to me the inherent fragility wasn’t going to make it practical for use cases I wanted. Guess I’ll get comfy and keep waiting for a display tech closer to a textile.

#39I loved my LG Phones, once they gave up on making phones I moved on to iOS. There was always something nice about each model. The LG G2 had an IR at the top of it, so it was a universal remote control, it doesn't age very well (wife still has hers, but you cannot see the screen), but it was at its lifetime / prime an amazing phone, the only change I would have done is add an SD card to it. The G5 was another great ph…
LG never really recovered after releasing several phones with bootlooping issues between 2015-16: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_smartphone_bootloop_issues Plus their software support was poor, even for the era.
At least they gave us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbiEESkyaeM

I liked the Startac and Razr formfactor.
