can we stop measuring phones at there thinnest and start at their thickest? im tired of camera bumps. i can deal with the extra width, i have a folding phone in a case already. make it thicker so we can have more battery, or add some features back like a 3.5mm headphone jack.
I'm more impressed with thinner TVs than thin phones. As long as my phone is not thicker than my portable battery, idk.
I'm not buying a foldable phone, until they come up with one specifically designed to close it with a satisfying slap sound.
I want to end all my calls with extra sass...
My flip 4 makes an incredibly satisfying clack sound when it closes. 10/10
So what is your personal opinion, would it last at least a couple years without screen issues?
I think most do...with the caveat that the screen protector needs to be changed every so often (every 6 months to a yearish), as it will start to bubble at the crease. Really not much of a hassle to get replaced or to replace it yourself.
Samsung fold/flip will do this. The fold actually has a much more audible slap and seems to also be more durable.
As the owner of both I can't say I'd recommend either unless you're a power user in the case of the fold.
And poor battery life
Having owned the Mi 9, I greatly dislike Xiaomi's OS, and unlocking the bootloader requires at least a two week wait.
