The big difference is that the soft display is on the INSIDE of those phones, so less prone to scratches (which you can do with a fingernail). It's very cool but I wouldn't go as far to say it's more usable. I don't actually think motors or the rails will be an issue (unless grit can get in and seize one of the rails, which with that edge as he described it's possible), it's just having the screen on the outside that reduces its longevity.

How dare you. Apple innovates all the time, just recently they removed the charger and headphones while still charging you the same price. That's innovation right there.

I've been waiting for someone to build a phone on this concept, although I would want to see one that would expand maybe 4x or so, such that the "large" version ends up at the same aspect ratio as the "small" version, just sideways. Most apps do not play nice with 4:3 ratios.

Oppo are making groundbreaking steps with screen technology. This and the Find N are already refined years beyond what other company efforts are. The only issue with this particular one is dirt getting down into the cavity where the test of the screen is housed.
This looks amazing. However, having been using the fold 3 for over a year now, I see how this would be scary to take outside with the soft screen facing outside. The folding feature provides protection to soft foldable screen. Maybe one day when the screens are way sturdier.
Foldable sure but i think strechable may be (strechable pixels) but there was a rollable phone. (Oppo x in 2021) its a concept phone. Check it out, thats more likely to be the future.
To think that in less than a month from when this video was uploaded LG exited the smartphone market completely. To think we could have had a rollable LG phone if this guy was right.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M I'd rather have a flip cover on this style of phone for general protection when not in use, than one with a third screen for use when not in tablet mode. That's my opinion.
I think this will end up like the phone pop up camera. More moving parts taking up more space making it less reliable and less space for motherboard and battery. Plus a vulnerability to dust and sand and maybe sacrificing water resistance
Watching this on my Samsung Z Fold 4, my biggest concern is the tiny motor inside the device. If it ever decides to grind to a halt after heavy use, how will it be fixed? How will it be replaced? If it can be saved, then how much would we have to pay for it to be fixed?
I love the potential for this technology. I always wanted the rollable commuinication devices from "Earth: Final Conflict". There's a lot of potential for improvements in future generations, but I would take this over a folding phone anytime :-)
