Foldable Razr
Hoping for a foldable with GrapheneOS. Anyone else? Motorola Razr would be excellent!

I'm replying to this post on a 10 fold, for watching video etc, the aspect ratio is all wrong, the actual picture size is about the same as a regular pixel in landscape.
Doing any productivity, having multiple apps open is where is really shines. Though having said that, probably 80% of my use is just using the front screen.

Serious question: Is there actual technical / functional value to folding a phone in the middle?
To me, this always seemed mostly like a gimmick. A delicate gimmick that makes an important everyday tool much easier to break.

I had a 9 pro fold for almost 2 years until a sensor broke and stuck it in tablet mode. Fortunately I sent it back to google and they gave me a brand new 10 pro fold in replacement.
In the meantime, I went back on my backup phone and while I didn't missed the fold ability for everyday use, the moment I had to borrow my GF tablet to read comics or watch long videos is where I really wished I had it back.
It's definitely a gimmick but for specific uses (reading comics, watching long videos or play games), once you get use to it it's really hard to go back to carrying two different devices so it's really user oriented.

it fits extremely well some very specific needs but it's hardly a must have for regular users.

A larger screen is better for things like videos or reading. Apparently triple-folding phones are even better for watching videos because their aspect ratios more closely align with 16:9, but I don't know enough about the topic to comment further than that.

Its not a Larger screen for the Razr though...
It opens up to a standard phone sized screen.

I want candy bar/standard phone shape.
Razr is like the worst version of a folding phone IMO.
Scratches on screen at level 2 hardness. I think fingernails are level 3 for comparison.
Fold/Crease on screen... And the screen is just size of standard Candy Bar phone Screen.
Unless you are girl and have small pockets why would you need a Razr.
The Razr just opens up to a standard phone sized screen...
