My fold3 had metal missing from the hinge from dropping it and it still worked pefectly until I sold it 3 years in. You aren’t going to see people making posts about how their fold didn’t break
You’d really be surprised, I don’t even use cases unless I want magsafe mount-ability in my car. Plenty of drops and abuse
I want one but the price has kept me away… But its about to be time. I’m not one to upgrade often, I’m still on a galaxy s9 plus, which I love, but the battery is showing its age and the screen has some minor burn in after like I think 6 years of constant use.
Even in its current iteration, barring material conditions that disallow me from keeping my foldable phone, I think I’ll keep owning one for the foreseeable future. It truly feels like something new in a sea of black rectangular slabs.
yeah, someone could release an actually useful phone (USB ports, SD cards, hardware switches for everything…) phones could’ve been so amazing, but what we have now is nothing short of useless.
It feels like Phones really don’t have anywhere else to go in terms of meaningful upgrades outside of speed.
If they figure out durable scratch resistant creaseless foldables, it’s actually over for form factor changes
Bro they are ready. Check out the OnePlus Open. Typing this on my outer-screen now, it’s very comfortable and feels like a normal iPhone closed.
I bought it second hand and the screens are still flawless. I do not baby my phones. It is currently case-less
The crease is practically non existent, I constantly get comments on that. I think people are used to how Samsung’s folds have a deep valley crease.
The cameras are better than the Galaxy S23 Ultra I tried for a couple weeks. Video quality is iPhone level or better
It’s not ready for me until it’s durable

I watch jerryrig everything haha, they do not yet meet my standards
Sounds like you probably watched the pixel one, that thing is trash. He was unable to fold the others backwards, and he is not a weak dude.
i’ve watched all of them, actually, the problem is how easy it is to puncture the display with sand.
deeper grooves at a level 3 just won’t ever do for me.

Thats not a One Plus

S9 was a great year for Samsung. But yeah that’s getting up there in age lol. Would be in 2nd grade if it were a kid 😂
Check the used market, mine was $900 mint condition on swappa. I figure the Open 2 is coming out Q1, so I bet the price will drop to <$700 soon

sidekick 3 was the SHIT
I can believe why you think that if you use iPhones. Foldables are out here completely changing the game. Apple will make one in 2030 I’m sure
