    For that kind of money I'd rather buy a fancy laptop or an even fancier desktop.

    Might as well buy two handphones with anti scratch coating on the display panel
    and put it in special foldable holder.

    Then don't have to worry about distortion at hinge area,
    and scratches on display panel.

    A phone at that price is not meant for people who have to make choices on what they can afford.
    It is meant for people who can afford it all.

    Getting snappy. Foldable phones were all the rage at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this week, including a $2,600 offering from Huawei. The company's rotating chairman Guo Ping used the product launch as an opportunity to criticize the U.S. for its record on cybersecurity, dropping taunts about the NSA and Edward Snowden. Meanwhile the company ran full page ads in several prominent U.S. newspapers. The ads said the U.S. government had "developed some misunderstandings about us." Fortune
