When I first got my Samsung Galaxy Fold last year, I didn't realise how much I would enjoy using a folding phone every day. I've just upgraded to the newest version, the #ZFold2 (in Mystic Bronze colour) which addresses the flaws on the original version #tech

It is Samsung's top phone (i.e. expensive, with a delicate screen and requires handling with lots of care), so won't suit everyone, but at least they throw in 24 hour dedicated hotline should I need help at any time with the phone

The matt finish of Mystic Bronze on the #ZFold2 is way better than the original phone, in terms of less likely to show fingerprints. The quality is way better, it's heavier, and just feels much more well built

One of the big issues with the original Fold was the slender outer screen, that's been fixed with a much larger screen on the #ZFold2

The interior screen when unfolded is bigger than the original Fold, feels like a mini tablet. Some won't like it, in terms of how cumbersome it could be to hold it one handed (Personally, not an issue for me)

The interior screen also has improvements in terms of having a holepunch camera rather than a notch

The only issues I had with the original Fold since purchase last year are dead pixels on the screen, and hence there were two separate instances where the phone had to go back to Samsung to have a new screen fitted

I still think that folding phones are going to be a niche product for many years to come (at least until Apple maybe launches one) - they really need to come down in price a lot, and have more apps designed to take advantage of the form factor, before they could go mainstream
