Business card-sized Japanese phone bucks the giant-phone trend

Here's something I can't understand.

We're got super-thin "foldable" OLEDs.

Why doesn't anyone make a phone with a RIGID, super-thin, fold-up second (or third) screen?

Bending is a gimmick. Being able to epoxy a super-thin panel onto a carbon fiber shell? Game changing.

I'd gladly take a phone that's SE-sized x 3 widths, with borders between the screens. Better yet, accordion it so I can just use the top panel if I don't need "all screens".

Funny you should say this. This was around the cycle a few days ago

Having a tiny phone that could be unfolded on-demand would appear to solve everybody's problem.
