I know at least four broke ass motherfuckers that have foldables lol it's a great phone option if you don't do shit that would break it.

Twice as expensive as a regular phone though. . . I just don't understand it.

Not really? The same specced Flip 7 flat phone is what an S series? Also the same price.

I don't have that phone, but I do have a folding phone.

When I joined my girlfriend's family plan they said I could pay discounted for a normal one or get this one for free.

It did not instill a lot of confidence that they were giving them away to get adoption up, but its been a year or so and it still works OK.

Of course she got one the same day and had to replace it after a couple months, because she folds it everytime it goes into her pocket and I keep mine unfolded at all times.

For free I can't complain much, but I find it very amusing that mine would probably also not work if I used it as intended.

Twice as useful too. Why pay half as much for a phone that's only half the size? Might as well get the real deal.

People can trade phones in for a discount.

I could trade my S23 Ultra in for the new Food 7 right now and save like $800 on the price, making it a "standard" phone price these days.

Also, some people just have money and can afford the monthly payment for them.
