Seems like foldable phones are taking over (e.g. Motorola Razr making waves) and only Apple is missing an entry in this form factor now. Almost everyone who can afford one swears by it with the exception of weak build quality.

What do you think? Anyone has one?

Personally, I’m betting on rolling screens (like Oppo X 2021) which seems like the most convenient take.

    Meh.

    Now, show me a phone with a good physical keyboard, like my old Droid 3 had, and then you’ve got my attention!

    I think they’re very cool and their big screen when open sounds very useful but they’re too expensive for me and there isn’t any support from privacy focused ROMs for them. These problems will hopefully be solved once they get mainstream so I’ll wait a little

    Foldable phone will always be either more expensive, less durable, or both, so it’s a no go for me, as much as I like the idea.

    I just want a small phone with 3.5mm audio that I can use as a music, podcast, and general audio device. By small I mean iPhone 5/SE or less. The latest “mini” is bigger, and they don’t even do minis now.

    So Motorola Razr and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 when folded are smaller in height, but over twice as thick, and notably heavier. Not seeing the advantage.
