Nope, and I don't intend to anytime in the near future either. Mainly because I see it as just a gimmick with very little practical application. That and you're not going to convince me that you can make glass that will not break after being folded. No thank you. Phone screens are already expensive enough to replace.

I'm half convinced by all the testimony here, but intuitively I'm on the same page as you.
I'll have to see a lot of long-term reviews and use one in real life to really change my mind.

I have a Z Fold 2 that I bought refurbished about two years after its release, and have been using daily for about two years. On average I have a couple dozen open/closes per day. It is beginning to show a bit of wear on the center fold but the phone is still highly usable.
I love this thing, it splits the difference between a phone and a tablet in a way that is perfect for me. I will be looking at folding phones again in the future.

I have a razr with big external screen. I like open to answer and close to hang up, it's satisfying.
But I really like that when its closed, it is a nice little device when I just need a little device. Also nice to fit in pocket.
I kind of like the concept of using it as a stand or tent, but frankly it won't stay "on" Long enough for me to get that much use out of it, even when plugged in.
Downsides have been the battery not lasting as long, and once in a great while I pinch myself a little when opening it. Also if I'm trying to wirelessly charge it in my car while also doing Android auto it tends to overheat a bit, but doesn't when I actually plug it in.
Ah good to know, that's the first braided I've heard about the razrs
I like their look and compact nature, thanks.
I've got a Z Flip 4 I've been daily driving for almost a year and a half now. The folding is quite convenient, especially with quick launch apps for like payments, but the main problem is the screen cover is peeling along the crease. It can be replaced but there's no service centres in my city so I'd have to mail it
I've heard that about the screen cover specifically with the z, one guy said he replaced it over half a dozen times but he enjoys the phone so much that it was worth it.
I like the look of the folded form as well since I've been researching these after this thread, thanks for your input
