I haven't met anyone yet who does and I haven't read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks

Nope, and I don't intend to anytime in the near future either. Mainly because I see it as just a gimmick with very little practical application. That and you're not going to convince me that you can make glass that will not break after being folded. No thank you. Phone screens are already expensive enough to replace.

Maybe impractical for you, highly practical in my life. Folding smaller makes it easier comfortably carry in accessible pockets, and the center of gravity is more stable so I've had no issues of it falling out of my jacket pockets which uses to happen to me quite a lot!!

I'm half convinced by all the testimony here, but intuitively I'm on the same page as you.

I'll have to see a lot of long-term reviews and use one in real life to really change my mind.

Samsung "UTG" means Ultra Thin Glass

Had fold 3 for 3 years. The UTG is not broken. And with it being folded closed when not in use i would be more concerned about the outer gorrilla glass breaking that the flexible inner screen....
