For me it’s definitely the durability concerns. I’ve valued my phone’s water and dust resistance since getting an ip67 phone years and years ago. My brother had a flip and a grain of sand in his pocket got under the display; when he closed the phone the display died. And they expect me to pay more for the privilege.

Like a smartwatch? I’d love the z fold for notes and such as well as games and video but I have reservations over durability and price.

Nah. A sunglasses form-factor, head-mounted display. Only 1080p per eye but does the trick. It’s been a game changer for how I prefer to interact with devices. My current phone doesn’t support DisplayPort AltMode, unfortunately, but that is going to be a priority for me on the next one.

The ones that I’ve been using are the Xreal (formerly known as Nreal) Air. Not bad price, compared to a good monitor and none of the creepy cameras.
