    Not sure how durable it would be, but I like the idea.

      Gimmick. No real utility as far as I can see, a solution in search of a problem.

        Why bother?

        If you want a phone that can get bigger, look at foldable.

        The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

          Under a very big presumption that it works flawlessly and is durable, I could very much see the benefit of using a medium-sized screen for normal texting and browsing and then expanding to a large screen for media or other use cases.

            Resizable windows are helpful.

            Education is extremely important.

              Karla had the Flex Z or whatever they call that flip phone. She had to get it repaired twice and finally returned it to Costco and just replaced it with the newest Galaxy. It was horrible.

              Lesson 1) Don’t get a phone that bends, flips, flexes, or rolls.

              Lesson 2) Buy from Costco AND buy the insurance plan.
