I've used a Folds since 2021 and hate the idea of going back to a regular slab. But even I have to admit there's no "feature" that really entices me into upgrading into any particular model. I look at the other offerings and like the idea if getting something non-Samsung, but they're really isn't much viable compition. I stick with them mostly because Samsung offers HUGE trade-in rebates, for instance I got my current Fold5 at $750 rebate for a trade-in of my old Fold2 plus an educator discount. Another competitor would need to have an insane value add to get me away from that type of incentive 🤷‍♂️
