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?
I have a Galaxy Z Fold 2 and it’s my favorite phone I’ve ever owned by a mile. I bought it secondhand (refurbished) in 2022, two years after it came out, and have been using it for three years myself.
There’s sort of a crease down the center of the folding screen that you can see if you’re looking for it specifically, but if you’re looking at the phone head-on like you usually would be and aren’t trying to pay attention to the crease, it fades right out of awareness.
I bought this phone with the intention of reading books on it, and playing some games that are otherwise more tablet-friendly (Slay The Spire for instance) and it’s by far the best mobile reading and gaming experience I’ve ever had with a phone.
If I wanted to I could have the screen replaced to remove the crease but it doesn’t bother me enough to pay for that. I’ve folded this phone open and closed probably a minimum of two dozen times per day every single day for the past 3 years and I’ve never had to replace a part yet. When I bought the thing I expected it to be usable for about 1-2 years and then need repair or replacement, but we’re now cooking on the third year of daily use and it still looks as good as it did in year 1.
This very post was made on that phone and was folded and reopened twice in the process as I did other things.
