IIRC way back in the day, someone did the same thing but on some Apple product.

I feel like, as an early adopter device, it's a good purchase, but it's probably about two generations away from being robust and rugged enough for me to justify purchasing one.

For what it's worth, it feels really refined and surprisingly not buggy for a first gen device.

And while it is too expensive I can see it being a justifiable purchase.

I'm less worried about the software and more the hardware. Things like crease lifecycle, battery life, weight, etc.

Obviously I can't say much about the crease, but the weight is just a bit too heavy. The battery life seems pretty good, actually. Better than my note 10 plus, and that's saying a lot

Actually, one thing I do admire about it, is it's nice to actually have a device that is very clearly a luxury device. And not in a way that the high-end iPhone or Galaxy note phones are. It's definitely a device for flexing in front of people.

You don't really see that with electronics anymore.

I'm waiting for more apps to be optimised for folding phones before I try it... after reading some initial reviews that seems to be an issue which detracts from the experience significantly.

Yeah, gone are the days of the Nokia Titanium phones. The current 'luxury' smartphones are just crappy mid-range Android phones with expensive jewels but they feel tacked on.

Yeah, at least the fold has the decency to max out the specs to fit the price

Or you can wait till Gen 3 of the product, and if they keep on making more of these folding phones, then it's safe to say that it'll be a product category that will keep on evolving.
