I have one, and I plan on going back to a non foldable next phone. After 2 years of use there are a lot of minor annoyances that are adding up. The hinge is a concern, it doeant fully open flat anymore (maybe 175° now?).

The big annoyance is Apps vs screen ratio. Nearly all apps are designed for the 'standard' screen ratio, so folded is too thin width and things dont look right always, and open is too wide...same issue.

Another thing is watching stuff. The size is nice but again because of screen ratios you have massive black bars often.

At the end of the day I really like the tech for its 'new' feeling (I can fold a screen?!) but I cant justify the added cost for something with a bunch of annoyances.

Thank you for sharing your experience, those points are exactly what I'm worried about. Let's hope the situation improves over the next couple of years!
