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

    That’s super interesting. I used to like watching videos on my phone, but I absolutely can’t enjoy it without front-facing speakers, but if the speakers are louder without distortion, maybe that would make a difference.

    I’m going to do a deep dive into foldables now, thank you very much for the in-depth answers.

      Hey, I just wanted to get back to you with an update and a reassessment. Due to insurance issues and them giving me the run around. I would not recommend a foldable device a carrier will try to screw you at every corner if you have any issues and make you jump through hoops of flaming shit just to get a replacement device. I realized these are the perfect rich person toy, that you will need to get the upgrade every year or risk insurance claim hell.

      If you get a foldable, have a backup potato phone, keep your backup stuff there and work profile.

      That being said, I will likely be getting a replacement Tuesday.

        I see a lot of these have 2-year accident insurance now, which I would definitely be getting if I end up with a foldable.

        I’m liking the idea more for my specific use style, but I’m not sold yet.

        I’m more convinced not to dismiss the concept entirely now.

        Flip and foldable phones are another viable option now in my mind, instead of some impractical gimmick.

        They seem practical.
