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

    My wife got one of the early models and really liked it. The battery did suck though. She’s excited about getting one again that’s supposed have better battery, and more convenient dimensions.

      Is the screen too big?

      Or is it too wide?

      I’m surprised to hear so many positive anecdotes, it’s cool to learn all of this.

      I actually don’t know anyone very well right now that has a foldable, so this is all valuable information.

        First one was a Samsung flip, which just folds a regular phone in half. It’s not really usable folded beyond notifications and such. It was convenient for video calls to be partially folded and set on a table. Also you could hang up on people by closing the phone, which was cool to be able to do again.

        New one is a Samsung fold which is more usable as a phone when folded.

          This is all fascinating, how are the speakers on these things? Or on the ones that you’ve had?

          Why are you sticking with foldables instead of flat screens?

            I’m still rocking an s10+, it works for me. The folding screen isn’t a huge draw for me, i don’t use my phone for enough things that benefit from increased size (my phone is already quite large though). I didn’t notice the speakers being significantly different than most any phone.

              Okay, thanks. I didn’t see the draw either, so these answers have been pretty enlightening.
