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.

    I have a Moto Razr. When opened, it has the form factor of a standard phone, but when closed, it’s a perfectly square little block. It’s honestly the best form factor I’ve had in a phone. It’s also a 2023 model, so I’ve had it for about a year and a half at this point, and the screen is still in perfect condition. There is a small ripple in the screen at the fold, but it’s only visible when shining direct light on it. You have to be looking for it under specific conditions.

      I love mine, but I wasn’t going to pay new price for them. But used, it’s worth the money. Like you say, it folds down to a very small block and fits in the pocket well. I just make sure I put the outside screen towards my chest (shirt pocket) and never had it fall out like other phones do, since I’m pretty actively moving most days.
