    Personally, I love fold phones. They give me portability and a big screen which are the two things I most want in a phone

      Yeah I totally believe that they break easily and are way too expensive. But that applies to any cutting edge product ever. Assuming the flaws can be engineered out, the fundamental benefit of having a large screen on a small/portable phone is definitely a killer feature.

        I broke most of my previous phones in a variety of ways. The more expensive, the easier they broke. I can’t make a phone last. I’m afraid to even look at a foldable.
