Now you know two who've had one. I'm typing on my Galaxy Z Flip3, which I bought in December 2021. No problems yet.

I love my Z Fold 4. Never going back to a non-foldable ever again. It's so convenient being able to view websites in desktop mode without scrolling. Or view restaurant menus full-size. Or show a video or picture to someone on a giant screen that fits into my pocket. The possibilities are endless.

Just sold my Samsung galaxy z fold 4. After a year of owning it, it stopped opening completely flat. Went back to my S21 Ultra which is generally just a better device.
You're an asshole for scamming someone. Once the phone starts doing that, the main screen is doomed. It breaks within weeks.
Take better care of your phone next time. This only happens when you don't protect the hinge against dust.

- Pixel fold here. Entire last week I opened it once.

I didn't scam anyone, they know about the issue and bought it cheap. Way to jump to conclusions.
Having to handle a phone with kid gloves because the hinge might get damaged from dust is a major flaw in the design. You don't have to do that with a normal phone. It happened when the device was in the cupholder of my car, literally not even being used.

I've broken so many of those old flip phones. the hinges were always some flimsy cheaply made shit causing the phone to break in two.

Good idea, bad execution, at least at the start but I think they've improved a lot.

I had one moto razr and I did phone flip tricks with it all the time. If it didn't get dropped into the depths of the inlet while paddle boarding I'd still be fiddling with it

Thanks. Same for Voyager.

Huh? Voyager loads it just fine on my pixel fold.
Maybe it's a hardware-limitation?

I have a pixel fold. You know two people now.

It's a great idea. I have the Motorola razr 2024 and it's a horizontal hinge like a normal flip phone instead of a vertical one. It's compact and I can use 100% of the smart phone features without even opening it. It's the ultra compact smart phone I've been searching for for years.
This seems like the better direction. I'd rather have a phone that turns into a pocket watch than a tablet that turns into a phone.

Auto-loading GIFs is a setting in Jerboa, might be the same for Voyager.

I have quite literally never used the front screen on my galaxy fold 4. I hear the pixel has a more regular proportioned front screen.

Yes, but at what cost. Oh, $1500USD more than the flip phone. I mean, that's like totally affordable.

I had a couple LG flippers. They held up for me.

The thumbnail was animated in voyager on iOS for me.

Newer phones abandoned physical key. That's their demise and able to fold won't save them.
