Looks cool. I would not pay that much for a phone.

How does Danny Hart sit down with balls that big?

if they can do a flexible radius edge like that, how soon till we have screen on a roller that you can pull out to a 7x14 inch tablet sized screen to watch movies on.

Well, this year you will be able to buy this. Notquittablet, but large sound bar.

At current prices I think a tablet with a wireless plan makes more sense.

Definitely a market, I doubt they'll sell many at $2k but I'm sure the price will come down quickly as it always does on these things.

Holy shit. And here I am deliberating over whether or not to spend the equivalent of $250 to upgrade my 3.5 year old iPhone 6S with the new Google Pixel 3. Don’t know if it’s worth it. The value people get out of $1k+ phones is beyond my comprehension.

Why would you go to Android after an iPhone?

Why not just get an X

Folding screens... a solution to a problem that does not exist?

Remember - It's important to be comfortable in your own skin... because it turns out society frowns on wearing other people's

That's like asking why would you go to Ferrari after Fiat.

Apple is fantastic and I’ve stuck with it for the last 9 years because I’ve always used Apple & staying within the ecosystem was easy with on board music & downloading podcasts. Now I use Spotify exclusively with the phone, so there’s no need to keep an Apple phone. I already use a bunch of Google serviced, so Pixel is a native Android experience, has a superior camera, far better pricing with the current deal, unlimited photo back up including the JPGs I move wirelessly from my good camera to the phone. With everything I use on iPhone being available in the cloud and in apps, there’s no loss by moving across platforms. Different story if I wanted to use a wearable device, but I have zero interest in that. Pixel’s security is strong & it’s not packaged with the weird buggy Samsung stuff, so it seems worth a try. Easy enough to sell or trade it for an iPhone if it sucks.

I guess its the next "thing". However, I'll wait until they drop in price before I buy one...if I need one.

fold-able roll-able OLED screens will be de rigueur before long. The tech has been around for a while and technically should be cheaper to produce than LED screens.

Yeah, I was on my iPad the other night and thought, “if only I fold this thing...”

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

I don't know I have a huge case on mine now for drop protection, and they do get scratched in my pocket if I had a flip phone like device that was all screen on the inside it would be great.

And in 5-10 yrs I will.

Tech keeps advancing, sure its $2k now but it will drop in price, if they get it functional.

Be kind English is my 2nd language. My primary language is Dave it's a unique evolution of English.

So what is a reasonable price point? It's 2k now and the price will drop, but do you really expect it to ever get below say $1500. It seems phones just keep going up. Even now an IphoneX is not really coming down in price. They may drop some,but now that the $1000 price point has been surpassed, will it ever come back? Heck, I don't know what I will do next time I need a new phone as I'm not willing to pay $1000 for a phone. And soon there will not be many reasonable options. (FWIW, I currently have a Galaxy 8)

I wouldn't pay that much for a phone, but I'd love to be able to have the ability to unfold my phone and have a bigger screen when I need it. I currently take a mini iPad to conferences, seminars, etc where I'll be sitting in an audience and want to take notes. This could remove the extra device, which is a hassle to carry around but much better than taking notes on a phone alone. I use OneNote, which allows you more than just straight text. I'd also use it on planes when watching movies.

This. I traded iPhones for android around Nexus 4/5. Haven't looked back. Now have a pixel 2 which I love. When I use my wife's iPhone, it just feels off.

That being said I'm still an imac user, since the early 2000's.

Long Chile was a silly place.

There is a lot of that going around. Walls? Folding screens? Same- same. Cost? No worries!

I think this is where the market may evolve. Apple is reputedly working on a foldable iPhone (Link) and Microsoft rumours abound around a new Surface phone that is foldable, under the code name Andromeda.

Personally, I wouldn't pay $2k+ for one, but if it could replace my current Surface and phone with one unit that had outstanding battery life and wireless projection, I'd buy it...
