Foldable smartphones have reached their fifth major generation, as heralded by Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5…

For me it’s definitely the durability concerns. I’ve valued my phone’s water and dust resistance since getting an ip67 phone years and years ago. My brother had a flip and a grain of sand in his pocket got under the display; when he closed the phone the display died. And they expect me to pay more for the privilege.

    I took the dive, got one and it’s awesome. I browse Lemmy 95% of the time on my outer screen. I went with Motorola Razor+ because I’m not the biggest Samsung fan and I totally impulse bought it. Unless it’s something that demands I open my phone, I don’t really, and that was what got me to get it. Without the outside screen I probably wouldn’t have gotten it, but totally glad I did.

        I like a less cluttered Android experience and I felt like I was wasting time removing it. That I like collecting fun cellphones.
