I feel like I'd feel similarly if I had a foldable, but the one guy I know who has one swears he'll never buy one again. Granted, he got a gen 1 Galaxy Fold, so it's got some major growing pains.

    For what it's worth, I decided to skip the fold 1 because of all the complaints about the sensitivity of the screen and how easy it was to break. I've been running the fold 3, and now the fold 5, and it's been a tank, even with my two and four-year-old drawing on it using the stylist all the time. I think the newest versions have come a long way since the first version

    I am also waiting to get one for my next phone. I'm hoping when I'm ready to upgrade things will be more durable. As someone who's loved the Note series since my Note 2 I had, I'm a sucker for a bigger screen. I'll probably never go back
