== Experience with foldable phones ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Well, you know, Myke, at one thing I did see at the Atlanta pen show, I got to use two different foldable phones, which was an interesting experience for me. So maybe, maybe if you had the foldable screen, it would, uh, it would work better.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Which foldable phones did you use? Do you know? Yes, absolutely.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Sure. Yes. What did they look like? No clue. Uh, they folded in half. Was one little? No, neither of them were little. They were both like a full size phone and like had a screen on the outside and that would open and open and open. And it was a full size, the full size open screen on the inside, the two panel screen. Look at you living in the future. I think it was the same phone. I think they were both the same phone. Probably. From two different people.

'''Myke Hurley:''' They were probably both, they were probably both Samsung Z folds.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. So what I didn't understand was that the outside screen was like, oh, then there's two more screens on the inside.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Yeah. So that is the optimal way to do it because when foldable phones were just starting, there was this question of like, do you have like a wraparound screen or like what are you going to do? The problem is the folding part needs to be softer. And so if you put that on the outside, the phone gets destroyed because you're putting it down, you're putting it in your pocket and all that kind of stuff. And so this, the, the scenario that has ended up being, it's, uh, I actually learned like origami valley fold and mountain fold. Okay. And so the, the products that have worked out are valley folds because like if you fold it, it goes down rather than a mountain fold. Or if you fold it, the fold goes on the outside. So.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That makes sense. Both of these were valley folds. Like I said, I think they were the same phone. It was useful because it was like, oh, what product do you, we were like trying to describe some products and like, just have a discussion and like we could find them on the small screen. Then we got the video and they're like, okay, here, pop it open, play the video place of it.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I was like, oh, sweet. That's a cool idea. I like it. They're fun. Yep. All right. That's going to do it for this week's episode.
