I haven't shopped for a new phone for a while but I have to admit I'm eyeing the new foldables from an accessibility standpoint. I really miss the mechanical keyboards that used to be available on every phone. In the absence of that, I'd love to have the option of a full-screen keyboard on one side and still being able to view the context of what I'm typing about on the other side without everything shrinking the way it does on regular phones.

Been rocking a Z-Fold 3 since it came out and love it, came from a Pixel 3xl. IMO the way Samsung polishes the Android OS makes it superior, and having the ability to fold out to a tablet at any time is awesome.

Will most likely upgrade to the 5 once it comes out, pretty excited to see this!

Same here. Or I was until I dropped my Fold 3 to repair center to replace the inner screen protector. As they peel out the screen protector, they broke the inner screen 😅

..so currently I'm waiting until they get new screen (and IIRC, screen includes new batteries) and replace that under warranty.

And because of their error, I basically get almost brand new phone (as inner screen and battery are two parts what could die first), so I'm not complaining 😬.

And I'm not in hurry to replace Fold 3 just yet 😄
