Why are folding phones a thing?

Folding phones, like the rumoured iPhone Duo, offer a larger screen in a compact form factor. They can fold in half, making a tablet-sized display fit into a pocket. This innovation aims to combine the portability of a smartphone with the immersive experience of a small tablet, appealing to users who want both without carrying two devices.
