There's no way I will ever buy a phone with a folding screen. They are too fragile.
I shared your opinion but the clumsiest friend I know has a current model z flip, and the only issue he's had is with the included screen protector. Dropped it dozens if not hundreds of times.
I'm actually considering a folding phone for my next upgrade in a year or two, but I'll probably wait until more of the trifold phones come out at a lower price
Yes, these trifold phones look amazing. I am upgrading my phone every 4-5 years, and usually try not to overspend on it, so most likely I will skip buying trifold the next upgrade cycle so I guess 2030 the technology would be mature enough and more affordable.
I've got a galaxy fold 4 that I pre-ordered, so over 2 years old. I've rocked it this whole time with no case and dropped it plenty of times. It's got a couple of scratches on the hinge but has been the most solid phone I've ever owned. From my experience, your claims are simply not true.
I had the original 2019 Motorola razr. I treated it like a precious heirloom. The screen started to have pixels die and the touch digitizer went out after 6 months. Kept it in a case and never dropped it.
I think there are a wide range of outcomes based on the manufacturing process but my experience has soured me on foldables. I’d rather use a mini phone instead. But it seems like the mini phone niche is just as small as the clamshell foldable one so I may have no choice at some point
It's only been two years though.
