  • I have a Galaxy fold 3. When this thing shows the first sign of aging, I will return to whatever Samsung is calling their stylus based brick phone, but its honestly a champ.

    Pros: I get a table screen in my pocket. My company defines anything with a screen larger than 7 inches as a tablet so it was free to me. When an app supports the aspect ratio, it usually adds extra FOV. Showing pictures and explaining things to friends with a tablet is better, but who wants to carry a tablet. The battery has maintained charge better than my older phones.

    Cons: Basically no web apps/sites/ android apps support the odd aspect ratio of either screen. When folded its really thick and doesnt fit in many phone holders. Once every 2 years or so you need to take it to best buy or another official retailer to get the internal screen protector replaced (~$15 and 30 mins every 2 years but good luck with that reservation).
    My folding screen hasnt broken at all, but I also am a gentle person, I could see how the soft screen could be broken by a younger person.
