I haven't shopped for a new phone for a while but I have to admit I'm eyeing the new foldables from an accessibility standpoint. I really miss the mechanical keyboards that used to be available on every phone. In the absence of that, I'd love to have the option of a full-screen keyboard on one side and still being able to view the context of what I'm typing about on the other side without everything shrinking the way it does on regular phones.

I want a flip but Samsung's adding of Meta Services to their devices is a deal breaker.

I think that's in mostly budget phones because it's a way for Samsung to subsidize the price. I've had multiple flagship Samsung phones and the fold 3/4 and have never seen that installed or had Facebook just randomly pop up. Now if you just want to take a stand against Facebook in general then yeah I feel you

I didn't know the S22 was considered budget.

Apparently flagship and budget mean the same thing.

That really sucks!

I'm waiting for the Razr vs Flip reviews to see which one comes out on top, but this is a big - for the flip!
