Only reason I did not get either of the Duo's was because of bad reviews. I was truly hoping for the 3rd version. Isn't it 3 times a charm? But they crapped out! I would still prefer a Duo type phone over any fragile screen foldable!

Moral of the story is that if you have a smartphone, REGARDLESS of the manufacturer, put it in a protective case, and DO NOT drop it.I've never understood, other than the clicks, some of these "youtube" types that just can't wait to grab a new device and see what it takes to destroy it.

This is a great article! I thought phonearena would criticize this phone."My honest take is that its exorbitant price right now shouldn’t bother us. Personally, I’m thinking less about this product in particular, and more about the tri-fold phones that are going to come in the future, further perfecting this form-factor and making it more accessible."Whenever I come across any outstanding piece of new technology that could sell well but it costs very high, I feel the same.Sidenote: Strangely, I didn't feel the same way about visionpro. Probably because apple doesn't decrease prices as much ( thought from the back of my mind i am not fully sure. Vision pros of the future could lower their prices significantly idk)

As someone with long hair and a beard, I hate Face ID with a passion. It doesn’t work 90% of the time, and makes me have to do multiple attempt only to eventually have to type out my passwords like it’s 2005. It’s made every new Apple device abject misery to use for me, to the point where I’ve had to disable passwords and am considering switching to android.Speaking as a designer, Whoever thought this was a good idea needs to go back to design school.

This is an interesting segment. People obviously have little desire to unfold their foldables (which is why they clamor for regular-sized front displays), yet this one asks you to unfold TWICE, in different directions. For a premium price. 🤔
