I've got my Fold 3 and it's amazing. Are there compromises? Absolutely. Are they worth it, also yes.

I've always been the type to upgrade my phone every year, but I'm thoroughly satisfied with this device after 2 years, and don't see myself replacing it anytime soon.

The biggest thing foldables need now isn't new features and spec bumps. What they need is a significant price cut.

Full-size foldable phones still costing $1800 5 years in is why they're such a tiny market share.
