    Yeah, same for me. I’m actually on my second foldable with a Z Fold 4 and I just love the concept. Mind you, I tend to read quite a few Mangas and books on the go, so this concept is pretty much perfect for me. Combined with my glap controller it also makes for one awesome mobile retro handheld.
    I have to admit that it’s not all roses though. My first foldable was a Z Fold 2 and exactly one year after purchase the inner screen suddenly died on me. Started with a few dead pixels and spread out from there, til the whole screen started flickering and was unusable. Samsung refused to acknowledge it under warranty, pointing to a small dent on the hinge where I dropped it shortly after I got it, since Samsung’s official case was terrible.
    I vowed to never get another foldable afterwards, but I got back anyway because I just love the form factor. Still, this time I got insurance in case of any other display damage.
