I have a Pixel Fold and I hate it. It's heavy, almost no third party apps are compatible with the square aspect ratio of the inner screen, and when you consume media there are massive black borders due to said aspect ratio that makes the viewable space the same as a regular phone. There's literally no point to these things.

I see why Apple never jumped on board. I can't wait until August when I can get rid of this damn phone.

How about a phone that unfolds to 2.39:1 ratio such as 2.95*7.05 and folds to roughly half that.
