"Qualcomm" has never been associated with gaming, much less "gaming platform flagship".
I'm guessing it's an Android phone without a cell modem.
First Folding console? NDS? GBA? (Score:2)
Do people really forget that the GBA and the DS/DS Lite, and the 3DS were all folding game consoles? Please, it was not that long ago.(3DS 2011, DS 2004, and clamshell GBA SP 2003)
Like, geez people, "folding" phones have been a thing since the 1990's too, but rebranding "flip phone" to "folding phone" just doesn't sound as interesting.
Folding the screen is not an amazing improvement in anything, that's why folding screen products all fail in the market place, nobody asked for them, and they wear out substan
Looks uncomfortable (Score:2)
Looks very uncomfortable to hold. Controls are right near the edge and this thing doesn't have the depth and contours of an actual gamepad. Foldable is interesting though.
