I don't give a flying fuck about foldable screens, give me a real keyboard. The bottom half of one of these flippable screens could totally fit rows of physical buttons!

Omg I can't agree with this strongly enough. Just typing this comment I've had to manually correct multiple typos because even with haptic feedback and autocorrect I still end up with totally garbled text. I have never been able to get the hang of typing on a touch screen. Im still pining for the good old days of blackberries and slide out keyboards.

Hell, even a built in stylus like the galaxy note had would be a welcome fix to constantly fumbling with whatever keyboard I'm trying to make work at the moment.
