I'm due for a phone upgrade and I'm seriously considering switching to a foldable smartphone for the larger screen real estate, as I use my device constantly for reading documents, watching videos, and multitasking for work. My main hesitation is around long-term durability, especially the crease visibility and the potential for screen protector or hinge issues after a year of daily use, which would be a significant investment to risk. For current owners of foldable smartphones, what has your real-world experience been with durability and daily usability? Are the concerns about the hinge mechanism and screen longevity overblown, and how does the software actually leverage the flexible form factor for productivity compared to a traditional tablet and phone combo?
