can we stop measuring phones at there thinnest and start at their thickest? im tired of camera bumps. i can deal with the extra width, i have a folding phone in a case already. make it thicker so we can have more battery, or add some features back like a 3.5mm headphone jack.
I think most do...with the caveat that the screen protector needs to be changed every so often (every 6 months to a yearish), as it will start to bubble at the crease. Really not much of a hassle to get replaced or to replace it yourself.

I'm more impressed with thinner TVs than thin phones. As long as my phone is not thicker than my portable battery, idk.

It'll make a nice crisp snap when it breaks. Like a chip

Yeah, but will it blend?

I'm not buying a foldable phone, until they come up with one specifically designed to close it with a satisfying slap sound.
I want to end all my calls with extra sass...

My flip 4 makes an incredibly satisfying clack sound when it closes. 10/10

So what is your personal opinion, would it last at least a couple years without screen issues?

Samsung fold/flip will do this. The fold actually has a much more audible slap and seems to also be more durable.
As the owner of both I can't say I'd recommend either unless you're a power user in the case of the fold.

And poor battery life

Having owned the Mi 9, I greatly dislike Xiaomi's OS, and unlocking the bootloader requires at least a two week wait.
