They\u2019re our portal to the internet, our means of staying in touch, and they feel truly indispensable. Have you ever tried going a full 24 hours without using a mobile phone? It\u2019s tough! Many companies are designing sleek phones that are functional and easy to hold, though for some companies, their new designs are a blast from the past. Remember, long before the days of smartphones or touch screens, when cell phones could fold in half? They\u2019re back, but are they worth it?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tMobile phone manufacturers such as Samsung, T-Mobile, and Huawei have created phones that are able to bend and fold, even with a touch screen. Since traditional mobile phones are already strong products, we need to purchase them less and less often; because this hurts the bottom line, many companies sought to build new products. To some, it seems like a solution for a problem that\u2019s not there; to others, it seems like a passing fad.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/folding-phone-body-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1039\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/folding-phone-body-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/staging.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/folding-phone-body-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/staging.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/folding-phone-body-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.betterhomeexperts.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/folding-phone-body.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\tMost of the phones open to find a tablet-like screen with touch capabilities, albeit through a much thinner glass. Some lack a screen on the outside, while others contain another touch screen for easy access. Regardless of the design, though, most phones rely on OLED panels, which allow the phone to have a touch screen that bends. However, these OLED screens are notoriously fragile, meaning they need to be used with care and caution.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\tAre foldable phones really necessary? Are they just a time-warp back from the nineties? Is there a point to foldable phones when we already have tablets? The answers are, perhaps, on the other end of the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mobile phones are ubiquitous in today\u2019s world.
