Poll results: thank you for your suggestions on improving the Phone Finder’s search for foldables | Infinium-tech

Last week we asked you for your thoughts on how we should reconfigure our Phone Finder tool to make it easier to find foldable phones with the right dimensions. Here’s how the voting went.

Most people prefer that only the folded dimensions are used when filtering phones based on their thickness, width, and height. People had a simple reason for voting this way – most of the time, phones remained folded. Of course, you keep them closed, but with the rapid improvement of cover displays (especially on flip foldables), you can do a lot more without even opening the phone.

Another large group prefers to filter based on folded thickness, but use unfolded dimensions for width and height. The thinking behind this option is the same, although the scales tip the other way – you still keep the phone folded, but you use it open more often than closed.

The two different styles of foldables have different uses, making it difficult to find a single solution that works well for both. At least there are only two major styles, seeing as how rollable phones never took off (remember those?).

The size of foldable phones changes, making things complicated

In addition to the poll, we will also read all comments and we will consider all suggestions. The tricky thing is that we want an interface that is intuitive for new users and yet powerful enough to allow advanced users to narrow their search criteria.

We’re still debating what the best approach is and will let you know when we decide on a solution. Note that we will need some time to update not only Phone Finder, but also our database. Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions!
