The closed display halves almost touch, and that can smash debris into the screen.

Any reason the Fold 4 didn't fit what you were looking for? By all accounts it's the first foldable with battery life to match a normal phone.

I forgot my other criteria - I want a phone which folds out to phone size and folds in to half size. Looking at the new RAZR right now for that reason and I'll have to check on this OLED panel thing.

Frankly, there are so few phones out there for tiny little hands like mine or that fit in short people pockets without falling out. I can barely one-hand my Pixel 4a - when I'm holding it securely I can basically only tap the bottom right quadrant of the screen. I was considering switching to iPhone for this very reason but then I'd end up in the Apple ecosystem.

Oh right, yea, those tend to still have so-so battery life. The new RAZR seems to still fall a bit short there.
