I feel like 2019 foldable phones could be the future.

Well, what?

Have you seen this yet?

Take a look at this video.

Okay, give it a peak.

Give that a peek at that.

Isn't that cool, Roy?

Royal Royal Royal with cheese Royal with cheese.

It is the flex pie Foldable phone.

It's all the rage.

Everyone's talking about it at CS.

And will you think it's the future?

I kind of do.

I think it's pretty useful.

It looks like garbage.

Dude.

Well, look, it could become a tablet or a phone.

Yeah, that's true.

That's what he's doing right now.

And I Look, it's cool.

It's like science fiction.

Kind of look at it flashing and its jagged e.

And what about multimedia?

I mean, the OS is not really set up very well.

I know Andrey is supposedly working on it, but in its current form, can you imagine carrying that thing around like it's a slab in your public?

A glitch ing?

Oh, yeah.

Listen, this is just a prototype.

I mean, yeah, I guess you could buy it, but 2019 seems like that Streit's That's fair.

I will say In general, I'm a fan of ambitious products and designs where they're going after something that seems unattainable, like this idea of this folding display.

So it's like everyone's look, look what they're trying tow, you know, get people's attention.

They're tryingto reignite the smartphone hype.

And so people are reaching.

And I appreciate the reach, the ambition and the fact that Samsung's working on it.

I mean, they started with No.

Five or the note Siris that had a five inch screen, like just going to a bigger screen.

Exactly.

This is now every phone has.

So this is the next phase.

A giant screen that that folds out.

It could be the future.

I don't know if anyone in the comments section is gonna be on your side right now.

I'm gonna need to test it out.

Check it out for myself.

I think right now it's garbage.

Look at this guy typing on the sandwich.

I do appreciate the ambitious nature of it.

The attempt, the approach, the the idea that the technology exists to be able to do it.

I like pushing the boundaries, all that stuff, good stuff.

But if this was a physical product Goodbye right now, or recommend right now.

I mean, holy smokes.

It looks like a headache.

Imagine you pull that out right now is a phone.

Imagine what Otis would think.

It would be kind of cool because no one else would have it.

We did a video way back in the day on that one.

What was that device with two screens?

It folded up and it had a hinge.

Was a Z T device on the axe on em from C T E.

And it was, you know, there was a high novelty factor playing with it games and so on.

Like you flip it open.

Comfortable.

And but the value proposition wasn't enough to justify the strange form factor.

You got a fatter phone when it was in phone mode.

You got this sandwich effect this extra hinge.

There was all this extra hardware for this potential moment when you flip it open.

Now, if you're a serious gadget head, you're motivated by the weirdness of it.

Then you could make a point.

But as faras folding screens, being the savior for stagnant smartphone sales, I just don't know if people are gonna be clamoring for this type of an upgrade, especially when you consider there's been this push industrywide toe like shrink everything like slim it down, eliminate Bez A.

Lt's all right.

Let's see if we could get the other specs on that device, though.

Qualcomm Snapdragon eight Siris.

Eight Gigs of Ram Oh, so it's like a powerhouse in almost eight inch display when it's unfolded.

14 40 p display am a lead, of course, because it can fold mean that's not terrible.

Suspect list.

I don't think this thing is the future.

I don't know what it is.

I'm just I've been looking at this for a while, and I saw the videos come out of CS, and there's just something that feels off about it and being a technology fan and being that inspector gadget kid that I referenced from earlier, there is a sense of excitement just because of the novelty factor of like, Whoa, you're folding the screen.

You're not supposed to fold the screens.

Greens don't bold.

There is that factor that wow factor.

You could probably sell a few units on the wow factor.

I want to put it in a museum like it seems like something you should have.

But when it comes to day today, I don't know that it's solving a problem.

Effectively.

You end up with a 7.8 inch screen.

What kind of what?

How big of a screen is on this, like six and 1/2 already.

And it's crazy, thin, way lighter, a totally manageable form factor.

It's a tough sales pitch.

If this thing goes through and becomes a legit advancement in the smartphone, space is going to have to be crazy thin to the point where when it's folded up, it's similar to this now.

No one.

These guys out there saying all smartphones have to be crazy thin, but I think they do need to be thinner than what Royal or Royal is showing off with this flex pie situation at CS.

For now, I'm going to say, any ready it's garbage.

That might be a little harsh.

It's kind of cool.

I'm not telling anybody to order that thing, dude, I'm just not doing it.
