At this point, the touch screen flips/folding phones (like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip or the Moto Razr) appear to be more of a failure for most people. One major reason is that they're still overtly expensive (~$1,380 for the Galaxy Z Flip, for example) and plus, the flexible screens can break more easily than flat glass screens on most smartphones because of plastic layers (not the Z Flip anyway) being subject to wear and tear.
But if foldable phones become more cheaper and accessible to the general public in the near future (that is, if manufacturers can fix the glaring issues of the foldables already released), then they could be a mainstream success. But I digress.

I would like touch screen slider phones (Something that was popular during the early part of my high school days) to make a comeback. They were very cool (Especially the T-Mobile Sidekick one.). I still cannot believe they stopped making them.

I saw a foldable phone in Olivia Rodrigos music video for Good 4 U but I’m not sure they’ve gotten much exposure other than that. I thought they’d be big in the early 20s but it isn’t looking that way

Well, it took a while for smartphones to become the norm (2007-2011).
They may or may not become mainstream by the mid 20s

They could become the mainstream in a few years, and I really want these to become a thing. The problem is how fragile they are. When you buy a phone, you want to be able to, you know, have it for years on end without replacing it. Here's exactly what I mean:

I don't see a point in them and to boot they're comically expensive.
