I haven't met anyone yet who does and I haven't read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks

Used to work with a few people in the animation industry who had them.

Nope, and I don't intend to anytime in the near future either. Mainly because I see it as just a gimmick with very little practical application. That and you're not going to convince me that you can make glass that will not break after being folded. No thank you. Phone screens are already expensive enough to replace.

I had a fold 3, now I use a fold 5 as my daily driver. No issues with either except I used the 3 without a case for a while and now the hinge is slightly damaged, everything works tho. Love them.

Nice, why are you sticking with foldables after the change?

I just love having a tablephone. I play Sky Children of Light on it nightly with my kids. I also use it to remote into anything I need at work and its easy to work off of it. I'll be getting the fold 6 through my company when it is released and still have my fold 3 in storage just in case something happens to my employment.

I have a Z Fold 2 that I bought refurbished about two years after its release, and have been using daily for about two years. On average I have a couple dozen open/closes per day. It is beginning to show a bit of wear on the center fold but the phone is still highly usable.

I love this thing, it splits the difference between a phone and a tablet in a way that is perfect for me. I will be looking at folding phones again in the future.

That is awesome to hear, my biggest regret for a long time was that I couldn't read comics on my phone, which I sold my laptop and only used a phone for a long time.

Now it sounds like I can read comics on a foldable!
