Apparently, the inner screen will come in at 12 inches, suggesting it's going to be larger than previously expected.

Okay but then the device would need to be at least iPad mini sized (depending on aspect ratio)? Unless it triple or quadruple folds. Probably a straight up wrong rumor.

I'm actually interested in a folding smartphone, ideally sized somewhere between a 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, unfolding to something comparable to an iPad mini in screen real estate (aspect ratio would be hard to match though).

Main pain points with existing devices are durability, crease in the middle of the screen and weight, although we're inching closer and closer to a more ideal device. The Pixel 9 Pro Fold is something I'd almost want.
