does anyone use a modern screen-foldable phone as their regular phone? (sh.itjust.works)

I haven't met anyone yet who does and I haven't read any good endorsements about foldable phones but I keep seeing advertisement for foldable phones.

Thanks

I have a razr with big external screen. I like open to answer and close to hang up, it's satisfying.

But I really like that when its closed, it is a nice little device when I just need a little device. Also nice to fit in pocket.

I kind of like the concept of using it as a stand or tent, but frankly it won't stay "on" Long enough for me to get that much use out of it, even when plugged in.

Downsides have been the battery not lasting as long, and once in a great while I pinch myself a little when opening it. Also if I'm trying to wirelessly charge it in my car while also doing Android auto it tends to overheat a bit, but doesn't when I actually plug it in.

I had a fold 3, now I use a fold 5 as my daily driver. No issues with either except I used the 3 without a case for a while and now the hinge is slightly damaged, everything works tho. Love them.

Nice, why are you sticking with foldables after the change?

I've got a Z Flip 4 I've been daily driving for almost a year and a half now. The folding is quite convenient, especially with quick launch apps for like payments, but the main problem is the screen cover is peeling along the crease. It can be replaced but there's no service centres in my city so I'd have to mail it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I've heard that about the screen cover specifically with the z, one guy said he replaced it over half a dozen times but he enjoys the phone so much that it was worth it.

I like the look of the folded form as well since I've been researching these after this thread, thanks for your input

Probably yes.

Eww no. I'd never buy prototype tech. It's designed to fail
