I had the Razr 5G and now am on the Razr+ I love this phone and love the form factor! Even with heavy use I get a day out of my battery. But I am usually around some form of a charger or power so I don't worry about battery life.

I had to replace my 5G two times but those were all my fault. I practically threw my phone across a concrete floor two days into having it and shattered both the back and front glass. Honestly, it fared a lot better than my previous OnePlus (same fate). Inside screen was perfect. Same fate with the second (I'm a klutz and always have insurance).

With that said, the increased width on the Razr+ and vegan leather back have proved to be very easy to hold. The screen is recessed inside the frame of the phone so phantom touches on the aidesnor when opening are not really possible. I use my phone for work and am always flipping it open to take photos. This thing is covered in grease on the regular.

For those people who dig their nails into phones. Why? It's a flexible screen of course it's plastic.

I doubt I'll ever get a flip-free phone. Perfect form factor. Durable. And Motorola has been very supportive of all my phones the past two years.

With the release of the fold5 I was considering trading in my S22 Ultra to get one, but even with that and all the promotions, it would still cost more than 1k € that I'd have to pay up front, which I'd rather not do.

Never used one, (can't afford to right now), but I adore the idea of the smaller flip ones. I would definitely take one if they reduced the crease in the future, it's too noticeable right now.

I love my z fold 4. It has changed the way I use all my devices

I like them. I think they have great potential and make sense in certain use cases. My preference would be the flip/clamshell style because it makes the phone smaller and with a large outer display you don't have to open it as much.

For me the larger fold style is too big and heavy to use as phone. If it were a tablet that folded for travel or for easily storing in a drawer, that makes sense. Although I can understand if a traveling business man used a fold phone because in meetings and flights he they could use the bigger screen for work. But they probably also have a briefcase to carry it in.

Having said that, the current pricing is way, way too high. They would need to cost at least half or less for me to consider buying one. Around €350 for a flip and €700 for a fold seems about right to me.

I also think Motorola RAZR Ultra is the better folding phone at the moment as compared to the Flip 5, because the Samsung is very square and chunky, whereas the Moto is round and sleek.

Love them, tried out the Z Flip 3, Oppo Find N, currently have the Pixel Fold.

I understand that it's not for everyone and I don't think it's a must buy for me, but I really like the form factor and I'm glad for the option.

I constantly drop my phone, the kid knocks it off the dinner table, it gets rained on, etc etc etc... I have an iphone 12 pro (coming up on three years old) with no screen protector, just a regular case (albeit a really good case: Peak Design) and it's still going strong to this day with zero malfunctions or visible wear even. I think I do need to replace the case. But anyway ... I don't think any kind of foldable / flippable phone could survive that kind of life.

I really like the idea of of a flip smartphone, but I'm too careless with my phone to have a plastic screen instead of a glass one

I did say I will make fun of the Surface Duo 2 last week, but I don't want to be too mean about it, so... it doesn't have the crease problem, but I still don't know who would even want to buy such a phone.

Foldable phones have the problem with the hinge and that the display is not very suited for constant folding. I would think those phones will even last half of a normal phones lifetime aka 2 years and thats profit for the Companies!

I am very interested in the idea, especially expandable ones. But I hate the crease on the folding ones, I just see it constantly and can't stand it

I need one which comes with /e/OS or at least has proper support for it.

Also the Z Flip form-factor seems to be the only reasonable.

Neat but uninteresting to me.
But I like where it is going.

I fucking love foldables and think everyone should have one. I truly believe they are the next step in phone technology and cannot wait for when they solve the crease "problem" so people can stop complaining about it. Also getting the price to $999 is pretty key too. Or apple jumping on board.

Writing this on a Fold 4 after coming from a history of Pixel devices.

Initially I loved the idea. So much room for activities with me at all times! A dream emulator machine and media consumption device! Look at all those power user multi-window layouts! SPen life! As time wears on though I find myself only relying on the inner screen for reading or long browser sessions. The SPen is in a drawer. I also dearly miss the Pixel-exclusive features. As a result, my next device will most likely be a Pixel 8/8 Pro coupled with an eink tablet.

For perspective, this was written on the front screen. I haven't cracked open the inner screen today.

I had a Nokia 8110 and 7110 which had a sliding mechanism to get the mic closer to the mouth (and to look cool), that made (some) sence. Now, I don't see the advantage of a folding phone. Why make a phone shorter while making id thicker? I'm missing the 'small' 4" phones that looked like bricks compared to the old gsm models.

If Samsung had the ultra camera package, I would've kept the z fold 4 last year. I really liked the screen sizes (both inside and out). But until they give us a camera package that's equivalent of the s2*U of that same year, it's not worth it imo
