China phone manufacturers like Xiaomi, OPPO, Huawei already have 5th or 6th Gen folds and they are awesome. Many people here use folds. The build quality is outstanding.
Plus the software is actually designed to use either the full screen or split screen. What Apple have done is a joke. The few people that bought the Apple fold, are returning it because the software is useless.
I'm confused, are you in China or the United States? Your comment history strongly alludes to both, depending on what you're saying.
They’re only from the US when meddling in elections or pretending to be smugly superior. Standard tankie behavior.
Been using my Honor Magic V2 for 2.5 years now, might be the best phone I've ever had. If I could change two things, it would be perfect: I'd love for it to be 1-2cm shorter and properly support third party launchers. Otherwise, no complaints at all.
Have a look at the Xiaomi 18 fold. It's an interesting size and much more compact than the previous versions.

Thanks! It's similar to the Samsung Fold 8 in terms of size, right? I tried that one in a shop recently because I thought the size was interesting but it felt a bit too wide for my hands. The Xiaomi with its rounded corners might be a better fit though, thanks. I'm also waiting for more info on the rumored Motorola Razr Flex which seems to be a very interesting form factor as well (even smaller, and not as wide).
I have been using the same phone for 9 years and only had to replace the battery. There is literally no way these folding phones are lasting that long, even with “outstanding build quality”.
