The point of not being able to take advantage of the screen size is really interesting. I wonder why they don't design these to fold out into something with a normal phone aspect ratio, just bigger. That way you could actually take advantage of all the screen real estate.
I think its hard to have a foldable device that has a phone aspect ratio (2:1) when open and a reasonable size (and thickness) when closed.
This could only be done like the flip phone (1:1 --> 2:1) or by multiple folds (like the triple fold huawei).
They made metric paper. Time to make metric phones.
1:√2 wouldn't be the worst aspect ratio for a phone screen
Golden ratio here we come
