Mind elaborating on those reasons? I'm also a Fold owner and I love it more than any other phone I've ever owned. If there are cons that I'm missing, I'd like to know before I go buy another one of these in a year or two.

The Internal screen is fragile. It's softer than finger nails, so need to be careful about it. The screen protector doesn't last a year in most cases. The hinge can get debris in it that will start causing problems. It's narrow, but it's definitely a thick phone. It's heavy too. Software is a hit or miss on what can handle the screen basically changing size and shape on it.

That being said, I can't go back to using a normal phone. The large display is just too good to give up.

Lol these are all just hallmarks of Samsung well established reputation of quality, it is the shittiest company in that regard. They are innovative though!

Honestly, between my work phone which is a Pixel 6 Pro, and my Fold, Samsung is superior in both hardware and software.

I can see that for sure
