Well that's the most important thing obviously

It's lovely!

That's pretty good.

I don't do one handed anyway. Afraid of dropping it! But I'm really not sure about a fold. Didn't like them at all at first, but they do seem to be getting better.

And what do you think of this?

I can't open that. But yes I could see how living in Taiwan would make you wary.

Bigger keyboard is definitely a plus

Like Samsung use One UI. It's basically just a layer over Android

HyperOS uses Android

No I abandoned my camera a few years ago when I realised that my phone had higher specs! The recent ones are extraordinary

Yes weight is an issue too. And of course the crease is bigger on a fold, and vertical, so might be more noticeable.

Plus the camera on the flip isn't great. I sacrificed it for the size but regret it.

Last time I went for a flip + tablet, but ended up not using the tablet much. I do appreciate being able to slip the phone in a small pocket but am tempted by a bigger screen. Dilemma.

Well I have Samsung flip at the moment because I liked the compactness, and I can say that the crease is hardly discernable and not at all annoying. I just don't want anything too bulky but the latest folds seem to be thinner and thinner

Excellent article

You wouldn't catch me on one of those things.....

They are sending Charles de Gaulle to sort things out.

Could have been written for him.
