    Oh I have a foldable. Also the software sucks and they can’t find reasons for the folding at all. Maybe the flip will have a better market but it messes with battery life, antenna signal and more for a product that yells that an app is incompatible or doesn’t fit the screen right.

    I know I’m in the early adopter tax but I could have actually done without this one as a techie

      I’ve got a foldable and mine works fine, haven’t ran into a single app that won’t use the larger display. I find it super useful as the display is much easier to read and watch videos on. Zfold3

        Occasionally being able to open a document or video on a larger screen is great but I get so many apps yelling at me to shutdown the app before it can load in a different format or bars on the edges open or missing text closed cause the screen is smaller.

        Also what’s with the home screens being different open or closed?

      Yeah as a techie, 100% wouldn’t recommend. Also they are 5 generations in and nothing really has changed.
