    I’m not a bot, but here is the summary of this article:

    Foldables are new and have low user number because of the steep price. So most devs are not keeping foldables in mind yet while designing UI. That creates a situation where you buy a premium device but have subpremium experiences.

      Not surprising given Android’s history of tablet support, foldables won’t be terribly different.

      Need sustained support to facilitate app developers putting in the effort to update their apps for foldables.

      Well yeah, but from using the one of my step mom for a bit, the subpar experience was in the hardware, too (Galaxy Flip 4,IIRC).

      The screen has that reel like it’s just the right amount of greasy at all times so you’ll want to wipe it. It’s in the nature of the devices, I get that. But it’s a very weird, almost sticky, feeling. Feels like the very very cheap screens of years and years ago.
