Well, as promised, we are talking foldable this week. The excitement is palpable, and it looks like the rest of our mod team have already started the conversation here. Go check it out.

I honestly don’t know very much about foldable phones, so I’ll let the rest of our (very smart and knowledgeable) mod team handle this one this week. :)

Last thing for future reference at the end of the week, we also have a great thread discussing foldables here too, go check it out if you want more great discussions.

    Since I need a phone that can withstand being dropped on concrete every other day and having tools, hammers, 4x2 offcuts dropped on it etc every so often I dont think a foldable is for me. My current phone has two screen protectors and a case and its still got a cracked screen

      Its a lame gimic IMO. Requiring replacement batteries should slow them down. I’ve no interest and would only get one if it was the only chooce. I want my headphone jack back.

        They do appear to be genuinely useful for some people on this thread though. I’m not one of them - a headphone jack is far more important to me too, that and durability
