Well, as promised, we are talking foldable this week. The excitement is palpable, and it looks like the rest of our mod team have already started the conversation here. Go check it out.
I honestly don’t know very much about foldable phones, so I’ll let the rest of our (very smart and knowledgeable) mod team handle this one this week. :)
Last thing for future reference at the end of the week, we also have a great thread discussing foldables here too, go check it out if you want more great discussions.
They have a certain appeal to them. I’d love to try one out though and see how it appeals to me. Main thing that keeps me from getting one, is that I work in construction. Dust and debris getting inside the screen, then me closing it is just asking for scratches. Would a screen protector even be viable with the crease being in the middle?
Old school flip phones were feasible for situations like mine. But I’m not going back to T9 texting lol.
My wife has the Samsung Flip 4, and it’s pretty nice. The screen comes with a screen protector on it, and you have to replace it occasionally, because it will start to delaminate around the crease.
For my wife it was a way to have a phone that fit in a small purse without any issues. It works well in that scenario.
I don’t know how well it would hold up to significant dust and debris.
