    Foldable phones - at least the early generations hat lots of troubles with the hinges and scratched screens.

    Still as of today, testers are undecided if these category of devices really has a benefit compared to just buying both a tablet and a phone (and still saving money).

      yeah its cost. If the cost could be the same or only a slight increase then I would go for fold.

        Fuck everything samsung touches for software but I love the zfold series. Only phones I’ve ever owned that I can carry without a case and not break the screen. Not sure if it’s still a problem with other phones as I don’t see as many cracked screens as I used to. I am clumsy as fuck amd drop my phone all the time but these plastic flexible screens never break. The early models were breaking from common use where the fold crease would break but they seemed to have improve that flaw. It also only happened to me after a year or more of heavy use and it was covered by insurance so never really turned me off to the phone.
