seems like a gimmick.
It's really not. The screen is 4k OLED. It's a perfect display. The tech had one tiny downside when it first launched which wasn't the crease was relatively noticeable, that's a long since fixed issue.
The only people who think folding phones are a gimmick are people who have never had them. Or and apple users who want one but can't get over the fact that Apple doesn't make them.
Who wouldn't want a phone that can change size on demand. How is that not a useful feature? Sci-fi is full of transparent screens which are objectively terrible, but folding is useful.
