  • I bought a Z Fold 2 in 2020 and still use it today. Battery life is great, screens are still great (both outer and inner). I always have a cheap case for it that covers the front screen. I have dropped it twice outside on the concrete ground and the cheap case broke, but NOT the phone, so I just bought another case each time–to me, that’s what the cheap case is for. I really like it and will probably get another version at some point, but here are my main takeaways:

    • Outer screen is very slim (think almost TV remote-sized). I have gotten used to it but God forbid you hand it to someone else to type on, they always say it’s too small

    • It’s too long for my pockets, but I’m a woman that wears women’s clothes, and our pockets are too damn small for anything, so I have to carry it in my purse

    • The screen protectors it comes with do start to fray at the edges over time, but I have never had it bubble up at the folding point/crease on the inner screen

    • If you are not known for being delicate with your phone, this is not the phone for you. If you work outdoors regularly, have a tendency to drop your phone regularly, etc, don’t buy this

    • It’s expensive

    • Not all apps are compatible with the big screen so sometimes you’re stuck with the small screen view on the big inner screen

    • Having a portable tablet is great! I got rid of my tablet when I bought this phone and have no regrets

    • It’s great for driving when using Google Maps or whichever driving app you choose. Having the big screen makes it so much easier to see the directions

    • Any video looks better on the big screen

    • I have used the big screen to view maps I downloaded for hiking
