Seems like foldable phones are taking over (e.g. Motorola Razr making waves) and only Apple is missing an entry in this form factor now. Almost everyone who can afford one swears by it with the exception of weak build quality.

What do you think? Anyone has one?

Personally, I’m betting on rolling screens (like Oppo X 2021) which seems like the most convenient take.

    I have an old cheap smartphone that I have wanted to replace for many years now. But any time I check the market it has been mostly more boring phones bloated with features and hardware that I care nothing for. The only thing that actually has me a bit excited are foldable or rollables, though I’m stuck in a endless “just wait one more generation” loop. I am gonna have to break it soon.

      If it makes you feel any better, the day you finally pull the trigger, they will release a new generation with massive improvements. So it’s smart to keep waiting until you’re old and frail.

      Same. It just seems like a really cool feature. Bought an cheap Poco pro to postpone the purchase a couple years as I was fed up with the battery dying within hours on my old smartphone. I can wait another 4 years, the feature will be just as fun then I figured.
