    Phones are becoming the new wallets to the point we need something slimmer to pay with soon again.

      I don’t need anything that is between my phone and my laptop in size.

      Now I want a phone case with a chain that attaches to my belt.

        I’ll happily settle for any amount more physical buttons. It sucks to listen to music using my phone because I can’t skip, replay or pause songs without using the touch screen.

      I like removable batteries, but I like waterproofness combined with thin more.

      Easily serviceable batteries are a great compromise IMO.

      The suffix “fold” in this instance refers to the number of parts, not the number of folds. As confusing as that is.

          2, with 1 hinge. It’s like a normal phone but the screen number increased twofold.

          Bifold means something that folds into two parts. Consider the bifold wallet or bifold door.

              I guess the same way you slice something into one piece. Bisect is one less than trisect, so what’s one less than bisect?

              Maybe the problem is that the phone is rectangular. I bet they could do it with a polygon with just two fewer sides. ;)
