There's no way I will ever buy a phone with a folding screen. They are too fragile.
I shared your opinion but the clumsiest friend I know has a current model z flip, and the only issue he's had is with the included screen protector. Dropped it dozens if not hundreds of times.
I'm actually considering a folding phone for my next upgrade in a year or two, but I'll probably wait until more of the trifold phones come out at a lower price
Yes, these trifold phones look amazing. I am upgrading my phone every 4-5 years, and usually try not to overspend on it, so most likely I will skip buying trifold the next upgrade cycle so I guess 2030 the technology would be mature enough and more affordable.
I've got a galaxy fold 4 that I pre-ordered, so over 2 years old. I've rocked it this whole time with no case and dropped it plenty of times. It's got a couple of scratches on the hinge but has been the most solid phone I've ever owned. From my experience, your claims are simply not true.
It's only been two years though.
I had the original 2019 Motorola razr. I treated it like a precious heirloom. The screen started to have pixels die and the touch digitizer went out after 6 months. Kept it in a case and never dropped it.
I think there are a wide range of outcomes based on the manufacturing process but my experience has soured me on foldables. I’d rather use a mini phone instead. But it seems like the mini phone niche is just as small as the clamshell foldable one so I may have no choice at some point
