Don't expect these clamshell-style foldables in 2024 or 2025 or maybe ever.

    I can’t speak for the flip, but the fold 4 is fantastic. I can’t imagine going back to a slab

        Typing this on a fold4 would just like to chime in that after a year of ownership the inner screen did fail seemingly for no reason. I was able to get this fixed but I just want to stress they do have some problems.

        Partner has gone through 3 flip4 in the same amount of time though that phone is garbage.

          Man, that sucks! I know I had read about screen issues on the 3 and to expect them on the 4, but none here. Sorry you both had issues! One day they’ll be perfect. I hope.

          The screen protector on my inner screen peeled off after a year but it still works fine.

          I actually can attest that it’s built pretty rugged, having fumbled the quickdraw back pocket grab last weekend and flung/dropped it from waist height onto a concrete garage floor. Zero damage, though it took the hit on the bottom hinge corner, so: metal.

          I’m still impressed…
