I was both very interested and dubious when foldable phones first came out. When I first saw the Samsung Galaxy Fold, I recall asking myself, "That looks cool, but is it really worth the money?" After a few years, foldable phones have undoubtedly advanced. My cousin recently purchased the Galaxy Z Flip, and I had the opportunity to use it for a weekend. It was like using the future, to be honest.
In actuality, the folding design is quite practical for day-to-day living. When open, the large screen is ideal for multitasking, watching videos, and even light gaming. However, it folds up easily to fit in your pocket, which is something I've always found difficult when using larger, conventional phones. Every time I opened it, it was gratifying; it was like using a flip phone from the past, only much smarter.
Nevertheless, there are still certain drawbacks to foldables. They cost more than standard phones with comparable features. Even though the hinge and screen are now better, I was still a little concerned about durability and dust. According to my cousin, she hasn't encountered any problems yet, but she also handles it with extreme caution—no throwing it on the couch or rough treatment.
Because foldable phones have two screens, the battery life was respectable but not particularly noteworthy. Additionally, there is a tiny crease on the fold that I initially noticed more but soon grew accustomed to. After using it for an hour, I honestly forgot it was there.
Do foldable phones still make sense to purchase? Yes, they are now worth the extra money if you enjoy experimenting with new technology, want a phone that attracts attention, and don't mind paying more. However, you might want to wait a little while longer if you want a longer battery life, tough durability, or a cheaper price. Even though I haven't given it a try yet, I'm much more tempted now than I was before.
