      Bro they are ready. Check out the OnePlus Open. Typing this on my outer-screen now, it’s very comfortable and feels like a normal iPhone closed.

      I bought it second hand and the screens are still flawless. I do not baby my phones. It is currently case-less

      The crease is practically non existent, I constantly get comments on that. I think people are used to how Samsung’s folds have a deep valley crease.

      The cameras are better than the Galaxy S23 Ultra I tried for a couple weeks. Video quality is iPhone level or better

          My fold3 had metal missing from the hinge from dropping it and it still worked pefectly until I sold it 3 years in. You aren’t going to see people making posts about how their fold didn’t break

          You’d really be surprised, I don’t even use cases unless I want magsafe mount-ability in my car. Plenty of drops and abuse

        I want one but the price has kept me away… But its about to be time. I’m not one to upgrade often, I’m still on a galaxy s9 plus, which I love, but the battery is showing its age and the screen has some minor burn in after like I think 6 years of constant use.

          S9 was a great year for Samsung. But yeah that’s getting up there in age lol. Would be in 2nd grade if it were a kid 😂

          Check the used market, mine was $900 mint condition on swappa. I figure the Open 2 is coming out Q1, so I bet the price will drop to <$700 soon

      Even in its current iteration, barring material conditions that disallow me from keeping my foldable phone, I think I’ll keep owning one for the foreseeable future. It truly feels like something new in a sea of black rectangular slabs.
