I don’t know why people bother to buy foldable phones, if you want bigger screen just buy tablet…smh…
Tablet has bigger screen plus it’s cheaper than buying foldable phonesI guess you have to try one. I got a samsung fold 3, i loved it. Then, when my contract ended, i got a fold 6. I would have a hard time going back to a standard phone tbh.
My wife said she wouldnt get a folding phone but when i got my fold 6 i offered her my fold 3. She ended up really liking it and wants to get a newer fold when her contract ends.
So theres me, who knew i wanted one and am happy with it to the point where i cant go back. And my wife, who didnt want one but after trying one for a few weeks, said she got it now and would be upgrading to a newer fold when the time comes.
They need to get these in peoples hands if they want to sell them better.
If I want a bigger screen, I’m reaching for a laptop or desktop, not a phone with a self-destructing screen. I expect my gear to last at least 5 years, preferably 10.
My desktop and laptop are too clunky for day to day stuff. There are a wide range of things i now do on my phone that would be less than possible on a normal phone screen.
I dont blame you for not seeing the benefits. Like i said earlier, you need to try it to get it.
As for a self destructing screen, its nonsense. There are 5 people at my work that have folding phones. There are 2 fold 4’s 2 fold 5’s and a fold 3 as well as my fold 6, theres also my wife who has my 3 year old fold 3 and my brother who now has a pixel fold and no one has a broken screen. Oh! My mum and her partner both had flip 3 phones and have just bought the flip 6s and her partner ended up getting a fold 5 last year. No broken screens.
If you know anyone who has broken a folding screen, that person would have a brokwn screen regardless of having a folding phone or not. The amount of broken screens or damages cases i see in my day to day is insane.
I know even all of the examples i gave are anecdotal, but your claim about self destructive screens is simply false and not backed up with anything.
I expect to have my fold 6 in 5 years still as good as when i bought it.
I remember there being an uproar about folding screens developing visible seams after a while. I would consider that a failure.
Unless your folding phone also has a physical keyboard and a serious non-toy operating system, I fail to see how it can practically replace a laptop or desktop.
