What do you think of foldable phones? (beehaw.org)

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.

The Motorola Razr was the cool kid phone growing up, so when the new gen of flip phones appeared I was very hyped in a nostalgic way. I currently have a Z Flip 3, and while it's fun, I'm not sure if I would get another. I do like the clamshell nature of it since I drop my phone a lot, but I feel like the dimensions are weird even though I have big hands. It's just very tall. I don't regret it and I might give the tech another shot down the road, but my next phone will be the type that only folds once.
