Samsung Galaxy Z fold 5

[JadziaD]

Does anyone who has this have any thoughts? I am very very tempted. I like that when folded the screen is quite small and easy to hold in one hand, and I can see a real practical benefit of the small tablet sized screen at other times, especially if I buy the stylus. But it is very very expensive so I want to be sure.

Lots of online reviews are super positive but I also think these are sort of nerdy tech men types who get excited and don't think about the same things as me. I like the smaller size for one hand holding when folded because my hands are small but I'm concerned it will be too fat to fit easily into a pocket? Any one have thoughts on that? And is the front screen at huge risk all the time of being smashed up?

Anyone!? (bumping in case)

I have it and I love it. Don't have the stylus but never needed it .

Is it bad that I'm like, "right, well one completely random woman on MN loves it so that means it must be amazing and I will go buy it ASAP?"

My phone contract is up and I have been quite happy with my phone so wasn't planning to get a new one... but now I have seen this phone and I am a little bit in love and it is BAD.

No problems with putting it in your pocket?

I find it really handy that it folds and fits in pockets and I've had mine 3 months and not scratched the screen too as its protected by being folded. Battery charge lasts a good while too.

I have a protective case on it as well.

You're talking me into it.

I worry about the front screen for scratches, not the back. But I'll get a cover or something. I haven't been able to properly hold one as they're all glued down in the shops - hence my concern re pockets!
