Who told Samsung people wanted foldable phones?

Me, I have one lol. I don't need a phone for all the utility things phones can do nowadays. All I do is scroll, text, and watch porn on it. The novelty of it flipping it is my joy

Camera is ass considering what's on the market nowadays but I don't take much photos either

Is the larger screen worth the increase in price?

Unless you watch movies/shows with adjustable resolution, probably not. Youtube has black space on the sides and doesn't make full use of the long screen. I'm sure you could make better use of what the flip4 does have to offer if you're savvy and do sideloading and jailbraiking type stuff, but I do not

I have the Fold, and while, yes, it's a big investment in, Samsung takes the sting off of buying a potentially fragile phone by making it cheap as hell to get it fixed/replaced. I pay $10/month for their premium insurance, which covers just about anything, and it's like $200-250 for a full replacement phone.

In terms of increased utility, it's amazing! I honestly can't see myself ever going back to a normal size phone. It feels so nice to read on this wideass screen, able to see almost entire articles without having to scroll. Youtube and such on it is great as well.

I have a flip 4. Personally the biggest factor for me is that I have a big screen that folds down to a small square in my pocket. If this was a slab phone bending down or doing anything physical would have my phone almost bending from my pants lol. Just uncomfortable.

Plus i got it for half price! So that made me take the chance on it. The only thing i think they need to work on is the hinge design so they can get rid of the crease, make it dust resistant, and give us a bigger screen on front.
