    I still don’t think the tech is there. My current phone is 6 years old and there still is no reason to get a new one - I couldn’t imagine a foldable lasting that long. The ones I’ve seen in person didn’t age particulary well.

        Also an IR blaster as someone who also has an LG V20. It’s a shame that these phones can’t rock custom roms beyond android 8 or 9 (only if you live in Korea) due to Qualcomm refusing to give the community volte drivers and technically these phones never having an official way to unlock the bootloader. But using android 8.0 in 2024 isn’t that bad yet and I can totally justify still using a 2016 smartphone in 2024 especially when it benchmarks the same as low end smartphones today plus it has a removable battery.

      Exactly, folding phones have so many issues people very rarely buy a folding one again.
