If you think the front screen is too small

[x1sspic]

With my S22 Ultra and Z fold 4 side by side, I couldn't help but wonder what a Z Fold would look like if the front screen was the same as S22 Ultra and interior screen essentially two S22 ultra screens side by side

Then I wondered what if they did that, and then used curved edges on the front screen like the Note, err S22 Ultra has... I can just see the complaints then But I would definitely be all over that, even knowing how bulky THAT would be. Ahahahaha

Now that sounds so bulky it would be unusable.

Especially the S22 Ultra as it's thicker than any of the later note models . The note 20 Ultra had a nice thinness and width to it .

I find myself using the cover screen alot more with the zfold4 as apposed to the zfold3. It just seems more usable.

I agree.

I personally think the cover screen is just right… I mean it’s just that…a cover screen. I just don’t use it like a regular phone. I use it to check messages emails browse YouTube channels but when I eventually want to indulge and get into some serious phone using, I open it up.

If the phone gets wider everything just gets bigger just defeats the purpose of a foldable phone.

I do find it easier to type on the front display on the Zf4 than the 3.
I would love to see it a little wider personally. I wish the front display would mimic the inside display. Pain to have to manage 2 of them.

I don't have the Fold 4, but I'm certain I have seen YouTube videos detailing a setting to have the cover mimic the inside screen...

Edit- I looked it up, and it is under Home Screen -> Cover screen mirroring

The option it gives it to mirror the smaller front screen to the larger second display. I want to do the opposite. I spend more time and effort setting-up the second display. I want to mimic to the outside display.

I do to, I had to just set up the front screen separately

I just want to see the rollable screen phone come to life. That way you get the large main screen and a wide secondary.

I like to see this happen also

LG showed off a very cool prototype rollable phone that went from a midsize to an almost double width screen. It was a very pocket friendly size rolled up, including thickness, but a small tablet size unrolled. Unfortunately that was not long before they closed down their phone division.

Samsungs version just seems to be a screen that rolls out enough to give you an edge panel to work with, but no true major increase in the usable size of the screen. I hope they bring something different to market.

People think the folds out now are fragile, I can't imagine rollable screens being anything but fragile.

I think we'd be trading screen issues at the fold for mechanism failures and dirt ingress. But I think in the end the screens might hold up better not being continually creased. It'll be interesting to see how the 2 technologies develop.

I do think it will be interesting to see the two technologies develope. Everything has a failure rate, folding screens are no different. So far they seem to be doing ok.

Jerry Rig seems to think so
At least Fold 3 and 4
