I would personally be more interested in flip phones if they could stop insisting upon the foldable screen and instead committed to giving it 2 screens with a thin bezel. That way you wouldn't have to worry about a crease forming in the middle of the screen.
Microsoft did that and it sold poorly.
Because it's a Microsoft phone, not because it's a bad idea.
