Does anyone here actually use (or know someone that use) flip-able/foldable smartphones? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I feel like its a bad idea for people to buy these. I mean... the screen are weak plastics that can get damaged by a fingernail. Seems like an expensive buy for such a terrible durability. A terrible deal in my opinion.

What even is the use-case for these, anyways?

My friend has the galaxy fold. He likes it because he has a tablet with him everywhere.

I personally don’t want a tablet with me everywhere so I don’t want them. But that said I’m not at all worried about the screens durability. Foldable phones aren’t new at this point, they’ve worked the kinks out 🥁 Only long long term (10+ years) durability is my concern. I like playing with old devices and I’m sure they won’t age well in that regard.
