I like the concept of these phones, but I think it's still a few years off being viable. Half the price and improve the battery, then I'll be interested.

Since gen 1 I've been saying "gen 5 is where I'll start to think about eventually buying one of these", and I feel exactly like this right now

I bought a gen2 and then upgraded to a gen3 for the splash protection.

I have no reason to upgrade yet. Battery is fine for me, and the durability has been great.

I could never go back to a normal phone.

What is your most used app/s on the internal screen? Gen 5 and I finally decided to give it a try due to the great trade in $1000 for a s20ultra .. but I'm having an issue finding a good use for the Internal screen just feels like a lot of the apps I use are stretched out. But the Notes app is a very nice experience with the pen on the internal display.

I use the internal screen for 90% of things. Mostly lemmy, photo editing, work email and texts , texts , you name it.
