Foldable smartphones are more versatile than non-folding phones. If you choose a large folding smartphone ... the open screen's size makes it great for watching videos, playing games, reading, and multitasking — just like on a tablet. Once you're done, you can close the phone so it's a "normal" size and easier to carry around than a tablet, yet still usable like a non-folding phone. 2, record 1, English, - foldable%20smartphone

Les téléphones pliables font partie des plus récentes technologies pour les téléphones intelligents. La caractéristique la plus importante qui définit ce nouvel appareil est le fait que l'écran en soi peut se plier en deux. Certains modèles sont de la taille d'un cellulaire normal et se plient pour devenir plus petits, tandis que d'autres peuvent se déplier pour atteindre la taille d'une petite tablette. Les téléphones pliables peuvent être utilisés lorsqu'ils sont plus petits et pliés, ou encore lorsqu'ils sont complètement dépliés sur leur axe horizontal ou vertical, selon le modèle. 5, record 1, French, - t%C3%A9l%C3%A9phone%20intelligent%20pliable

A folding phone offers better voice quality in noisy surroundings (because the mouthpiece is closer to your mouth). When the phone is shut, [it is] compact and the keys can't be pressed by accident. 3, record 2, English, - flip%20phone

[The clamshell] design is often used in technology, particularly portable devices such as mobile phones, laptop computers, [etc.] When the clamshell is open, the device is ready for use. The interface components are kept inside the clamshell, which offers more surface area than when the device is closed. Interface components such as keys and display are protected when the clamshell is closed, and it takes up a smaller form factor, making the device easier to carry around. 4, record 2, English, - flip%20phone
