What happened to outward folding form factor without the extra screen? Foldable screens still not durable enough? Three screen foldable seems like such a dumb design to settle on. Ditto with aspect ratio with massive black bars when watching media.

No one makes it but I would love a dual screen phone with e-ink on one screen.

The aspect ratio might allow for always on playback controls and a dedicated area for subtitles which could be nice.

That sounds sick, or dual folding screen, eink outside to make nice custom skin.
