And under screen fingerprint scanner like what flagship Android phone have for years now.
but the fingerprint scanner has been average to poor really until the S20/note ultra and now S21 who has the 3D Max gen 2 which should be very good so I hope this is the same that the iPhone 13 will use.
 
I feel like a foldable smartphone simply doesn't fit Apple and its design orientation.

I know for myself I wouldn't be interested in such a device.

Spot on, Don't see the appeal in a under screen fingerprint reader, some reviewers are already complaining about the larger fingerprint reader in the s21s, Face ID and Touch ID built into the power button for the win.

These under screen fingerprint readers need to take up half of the bottom of the display, then you wouldn't even have to look when unlocking your phone which such a big under screen fingerprint reader.

Glad apple hasn't rushed to put this technology into their phones, the iPad Air Touch ID is the way to go for future iPhones.

I don't think people were denying the benefit of larger phone at that time. The popularity of the Galaxy Note proved it.

The premise is the same. People who didn't want big screens back then said anything larger than 5" should be a tablet. Basically, it comes down to people who want bigger displays vs. people who don't.

This Oppo rollable phone doubles the display area in 3 seconds. Anybody ought to see the benefits of that, whether it's for productivity or entertainment.

In 2011, some people couldn't imagine mobile streaming video services. In 2021, some people can't imagine streaming gaming services or AR applications.

The Galaxy Note was an instant hit, not a concept test phone like this.

That 3 seconds roll is a slow 3 seconds. Good for a demo, annoying and frustrating in real life, especially when you can unfold the Galaxy Fold for a larger screen in less than a second.

Another example, those pop up selfie camera. Looks good, but even the Chinese quickly abandoned it because no matter how fast they made the motor, it won't beat a regular notch/punch hole that have the camera there already, instant.

Good for Oppo to try, not denying that.
