I personally don’t care I don’t want a foldable phone ( my last job gave me a Flip 3 and it was a terrible experience) I’d rather phone with a removable battery than with a foldable screen.

I can’t speak for the flip, but the fold 4 is fantastic. I can’t imagine going back to a slab

Same here. I absolutely love mine. Zero issues more than a year in.

Typing this on a fold4 would just like to chime in that after a year of ownership the inner screen did fail seemingly for no reason. I was able to get this fixed but I just want to stress they do have some problems.

Partner has gone through 3 flip4 in the same amount of time though that phone is garbage.

Removable batteries for sure, but I spent 20 years waiting for the clamshell design to make a comeback and I love my Flip (4). Phones need to fit in pockets and have a decent sized screen.

Doubt it will ever get back to how it was with how easily they could be removed but there may be steps towards it https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/22/new-eu-law-to-force-smartphone-makers-to-build-easily-replaceable-batteries

I would love a foldable phone if the other half you have a good hardware keyboard on it.
