They're all so desperate for an excuse to increase the price further, and I don't know anybody who wants this.
We're already at over 6 inch for phones. It's plenty big enough. If I want to see something on a bigger screen, I'll use a device with a bigger screen.
As someone who reads a lot on the go folding phones are AMAZING My eyes never felt so good and my pockets so light. That being said it broke after three months of use when I dropped it face first while closed. If they where more durable or repairable I’d definitely go back
Just because you don't personally know them doesn't mean they don't exist. There's very obviously a large market for them or Samsung wouldn't be in the 5th generation with competition from Google, Huawei, OnePlus, etc.
The recent trifold phone prototype by some Chinese company was the only version that interested me. It actually expanded to true tablet size and the proportions and thickness while folded matched the standard phone proportions. That actually felt useful and I could get rid of my tablet, so I wouldn't mind the extra cost too much. The big issue obviously would be if it could have decent battery life, which I assume will be its critical flaw.
