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?

Frankly, for me, it's like going multi-monitor for the first time. I can't go back.

Interesting. Definitely makes me continue to be interested in them. First time I went multi monitors it's quite freeing. Then when the lockdowns hit I made sure to get a second monitor for work (and play lol).

Only thing ia that the price of foldables is still too expensive for me. And idk if I want to buy used from tech junkies' not-shiny-anymore when the next shiny comes out.

I second the multi-monitior comment. I absolutely love my fold and I think that's a great analogy.

It's hard to say it's worth the money though. I personally think it is, but I wouldn't recommend most people spend $1500+ on a phone in general unless they have a really specific use case.

Yeah that's the thing isn't it. To try if multi monitor works for you or not for PC / laptops is cheap. Just get any cheap monitor and you're golden.

Not so with phones.

Although in a sense for mobile I did have a go with multiple screens with my LG Wing. And even then it's still such a nice experience just having a small squarish screen to offload anything and have the main screen open whatever I have to focus on

Got it on deep discount after LG exited the mobile space. Got a Korean version and they did good updating it to Android 13 like they promised.
