1. Is the unfolded screen a continuous flat surface? (I.e. is the vertical bulge in the center gone?)
2. Are there gaps around the hinge or screen edge? Is the phone weatherproof?
3. Are there gaps when the phone is in the folded state?

Fi user here: I don't see this offer anywhere. Inside the Fi store it shows a $1000 trade-in offer but that's it.
What is the state of today’s folding phones, did the hardware improve over the first attempts? 1. Is the unfolded screen a continuous flat surface? (I.e. is the vertical bulge in the center gone?) 2. Are there gaps around the hinge or screen edge? Is the phone weatherproof? 3. Are there gaps when the phone is in the folded state?
Phone has been rock solid no issue. Love it.
Could you imagine if Amazon made a fire phone unfolded that’s opens into an e-ink kindle? I would own that.
I just don't understand who wants these foldable phones, especially at the $1799 price point. I guess a use case is wealthy frequent travelers who don't want a separate device with a larger screen to watch movies/videos on the go? Someone help me out here.
I'm really perplexed too especially since the crease is still so visibile and the build quality so weak. I feel like carrying small phone and a tablet/laptop is still a significantly better value any way you look at it unless you travel a lot without any storage on your human. I found the most ergonomic travel setup for me is a Lenovo Yoga laptop and the small samsung s22. Both of which can be bought for less than 18…
This device has a 5.8” screen when folded, and a 7.6” screen when open. Looking at those numbers, it doesn’t sound like a very big difference. Yet anyone can see that the 7.6” screen is twice as big as the 5.8” one!
The diagonal only made sense for TVs because the aspect ratio was fixed at 4:3 (and later 16:9). It shouldn’t be used for computer screens or phones.
I understand the laws of physics are in effect, but the big thing keeping me from even remotely considering a foldable is the durability of the internal screen. The newer Galaxy Fold's have some sort of plastic/glass composite, but it still scratches super easily, and it's not serviceable at all.

It's gotten better with each new generation. That video is 3 years old.

Only charge up to 80% battery unless you need the full charge and the battery generally lasts much longer
Is there a place that has empirical data on this stuff? Like what battery factoids are still true with the latest devices or not? I would honestly love for phone manufacturers to outright build in some software to build in best practices if they actually exist. Don't let me charge to 100% at first or something!
