> The portrait-to-not style ones like pixel fold? Is nice on occasion but the software is a complete let down. For reasons I do not care: The orientation is either wrong or the software cannot handle the form factor. The end result is a poor user experience.
Just to +1 on this; my second folding phone was the pixel 9 fold. That phone was released several _years_ after android OS added support for multiple screens, in preperation for samsung shipping the first ever folding phone before covid!
Despite LITERAL YEARS ELAPSING, a decent number of popular apps _still_ - in aug of 2026 - do not handle the aspect ratio changing well let alone transform to actually take advantage of the additional real estate.
It remains to be seen if apple's rumored folding iPhone will be the catalyst that gets most devs to actually care about this.
The main reason that I do put up with the fragility is because I can do side-by-side multi-tasking and give my aging eyes a break when I need to read something.
