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

I know someone with the Samsung flip4.

She's on the second screen (once replaced already) and still now after a few months a line is visible at the screen.. well, fold and the screen itself is separating in layers.

So I would absolutely not recommend it.

I've got a Z Flip 4 I've been daily driving for almost a year and a half now. The folding is quite convenient, especially with quick launch apps for like payments, but the main problem is the screen cover is peeling along the crease. It can be replaced but there's no service centres in my city so I'd have to mail it

I've heard that about the screen cover specifically with the z, one guy said he replaced it over half a dozen times but he enjoys the phone so much that it was worth it.

I like the look of the folded form as well since I've been researching these after this thread, thanks for your input

I have a Z Fold 2 that I bought refurbished about two years after its release, and have been using daily for about two years. On average I have a couple dozen open/closes per day. It is beginning to show a bit of wear on the center fold but the phone is still highly usable.

I love this thing, it splits the difference between a phone and a tablet in a way that is perfect for me. I will be looking at folding phones again in the future.

That is awesome to hear, my biggest regret for a long time was that I couldn't read comics on my phone, which I sold my laptop and only used a phone for a long time.

Now it sounds like I can read comics on a foldable!

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.
