  Sorry, editing error: putting a screen on the outside negates the protection advantage as there is still a screen to protect, and it ignores the fact that a smaller phone that doesn't fold would achieve the same result without the risk of the hinge failures we've seen in the past.

  I think this design does a good job of solving a manufacturer's problem of not having a phone design that fully takes advantage of foldable screen technology, but I don't think it solves anything for consumers. 

  
  

  Having a phone that folds gives you two advantages: 1. it makes the phone smaller, and 2. it protects the [interior] screen. Having a screen on the outside negates the first one. Putting a screen on the outside negates the second one, and ignores that there are already phones that don't require opening.

  
  

  I think this will sell quickly to early adopters looking to impress people, but never gain real popularity.
