Part 10/14:
Hardware Innovation: Foldables, Modular Designs, and Future Tech
Looking ahead, the dialogue explores emerging concepts like foldable screens—the Samsung Galaxy Fold and similar devices—highlighting their potential to combine portability with the tablet experience. However, questions about durability, price, and practicality loom large.
The rollable or sliding mechanisms—such as Oppo’s sliding camera or Vivo's pop-up systems—are presented as interesting but fraught with concerns about reliability and dirt ingress. The speaker humorously questions the longevity of such moving parts and whether truly seamless, unobtrusive cameras behind display layers are feasible given current physics.
