I personally don’t care I don’t want a foldable phone ( my last job gave me a Flip 3 and it was a terrible experience) I’d rather phone with a removable battery than with a foldable screen.
I can’t speak for the flip, but the fold 4 is fantastic. I can’t imagine going back to a slab
Same here. I absolutely love mine. Zero issues more than a year in.
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…
Removable batteries for sure, but I spent 20 years waiting for the clamshell design to make a comeback and I love my Flip (4). Phones need to fit in pockets and have a decent sized screen.
Doubt it will ever get back to how it was with how easily they could be removed but there may be steps towards it https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/22/new-eu-law-to-force-smartphone-makers-to-build-easily-replaceable-batteries
You can replace the battery easily on fairphone 5

My pixel fold has been great ha
My Samsung Z Fold 5 has been awesome as well. Im too lazy to go grab a tablet, id rather always have a decent sized screen with me
It’s why I think metrics on these arent going to ever be accurate. No I’m not using tablet mode all the time. That’s not why I bought it. It’s to have a tablet when I need it. People tend to judge it as if it’s not good if I’m not using both screens 100% of the time.
