I'd buy itI'd buy this.

A foldable that works as a proper flagship phone first, with a standout rear-camera selfie setup and the best Android multitasking he has seen, and battery that lasted a full day.

What I liked

  • More resistant to scratches and creases
  • Works as a normal phone when folded
  • Rear cameras used for selfies and vlogging
  • Best Android multitasking
  • Battery got through 7.5 hours of heavy use

What I didn't

  • Crease still visible depending on light
  • No optical image stabilisation on main camera
  • No face unlock
  • Sub-6 5G only, slightly domed plastic screen
