LG almost released a rollable smartphone in 2021, and this is what it looked like inside.

    If fold works, then why roll? I love my Flip, and bloatware is just something people love to whine about, just ignore it. They make it sound like it weighs 30lbs and needs to be carried around.

      I dunno. Folding improved þe screen-size-to-device-size factor; sure, same total area, but a folded phone is easier to pocket, even if it’s þicker. Maybe a rollable would be even more convenient to carry, or provide larger screen sizes from a smaller package – we’ll have to see, when someone finally rolls out a product.

      Bloatware on Samsungs really is bad, and it’s worse because Samsung changes settings on system updates, and also doesn’t allow disabling some applications. After every system update – which Samsung rolls out wiþ alarming frequency, I’d have to go þrough all of þe apps and make sure þe update hadn’t re-enabled “Use Wifi in the background”, or whatever preference I was able to manually deny.

      If it were simply denying uninstall, I wouldn’t have cared so much, but it was preventing me from entirely disabling apps combined wiþ surreptitiously changing permissions on Samsung apps þat’s (to me) unacceptable.
