    I love it and would hate to go back. You have a normal sized phone that can make various otherwise awkward activities on small factor quite comfortable unfolded: note taking, film watching, reading, Internet in general.
    It is so good to be able to whip this out anytime, anywhere.

    It literally replaced 3 other devices for me that I used to drag around to cafes, work and when travelling.

    I considered this overpriced bs until I got to try my friends device. Now I just consider it overpriced.

      Would you say the technology is developed far enough?

      I’m definitely interested, as the phone screen size is often a bit too small. But any mechanical movement makes me nervous on a small device that should last multiple years.

        Hinge durability is the main concern.
        I would not buy in yet unless you plan to upgrade every ~2 years.
        Make sure the manufacturers warranty is solid.

        Software-wise, I’ve not had any issues whatsoever.

        In my opinion it’s good to go! Though some people seem to really dislike the hinge and the small dip in the screen it causes.

        Z Fold 4 going 2 years - the hinge on this can fail early, but fold 5 should be solid and can be found £600 refurbished.
        Samsung warranty is notoriously bad though, so can’t recommend for that reason (no personal experience).
