I’m saving up for a new phone and I’m thinking of getting a foldable one.
Are they really as good/bad as people say they are?The one I had in mind was the Pixel Fold.

The screen breaks, don’t buy one
I think screens are capable of breaking on all phones.
I mean, it breaks by itself (from personal experience), by simply folding and unfolding it on a regular basis
Maybe it was a defective model, idk. But there are no real benefits (maybe there are some with a phone --> mini tablet foldable phone)
Watch the screen scratch test by JerryRigsEverything, then watch another scratch test done on another modern non-folding phone (such as the Galaxy S25 or iPhone 16) and you’ll see how fragile those bending screens really are.
The spirit breaks under the crushing weight of capitolism.
To put in in perspective. A Moto G Play is $150 (at retail, not including discounts) and can withstand a razor blade scratching the screen, the inner screen of a foldable phone, which is 10x the cost, cannot withstand a simple fingernail.
