Other than the novelty of it, I don’t see the attraction of folding devices. Other than folding it doesn’t do anything that my non-folding smartphone doesn’t.
Bigger screen with a constrained form factor. If you don’t need a bigger screen, you’re just not the target, but that doesn’t mean it’s totally useless.
Oh I know! I knew a guy that had one, it was pretty cool! I especially liked that you could fold it so that people you’re taking a picture of can see the camera view same as you.
I used mine to help put on my license plates in the dark. I get a surprising amount of use out of the ability to fold the screen to point the flashlight wherever
Yes, it doesn’t. Noone needs one of these, and that’s ok. The 4:3 ratio is irritating, but getting two rows of videos on youtube is soooo nice when just looking for a video.

Ever try to stuff a modern phone into a small purse?
Form factor has been a complaint since the HTC EVO.
Yes, it’s why I got an iphone 12 mini. Super small! I don’t know how people deal with the huge ones that are practically a small tablet.
Right, but the fold has the benefit of a small form factor that can become a small tablet when desired!

Main camera selfies look amazing, multitasking with apps are usable, works as a kickstand, can easily fit in a clutch, big screen for videos, etc

They should put a little WearOS watch screen on the back of a regular-ass smartphone for that.
And help one of the 5 benefits they listed?
They fit in a pocket.
I would kill for a smaller sized phone at an affordable price and good/decent spec.
They look super thick though. I can’t imagine that being very comfortable in a pocket.
No thicker than a wallet.
Not really noticeable unless you wear super tight clothing and you get used to the weight.
