Seems like foldable phones are taking over (e.g. Motorola Razr making waves) and only Apple is missing an entry in this form factor now. Almost everyone who can afford one swears by it with the exception of weak build quality.

What do you think? Anyone has one?

Personally, I'm betting on rolling screens (like Oppo X 2021) which seems like the most convenient take.

Waiting for the price to come down and lineage support. The best thing about it is you get the best if both worlds with a big screen which can still go into your pocket easily enough.

Yeah, the 1700$ price tag on pixel foldable making me feel like it might take a while to get this down. I sure hope that 1500+ usd is not the flagship reality now. I think it'll take one mid-range foldable to break this pricing standard though.

$1700 alone for a phone is way for much for me to justify purchasing it. Maybe subtract $1k and I'll consider it.

Same. Ridiculous pricing atm.
