Nice phones but a Verizon rep told me the screens don’t hold up well to a lot of fold-unfold cycles.

I was looking at the Motorola Razr a couple years ago — it folds similar to the old flip phones. The Verizon guy said that there were major integrity issues where the phone folds, so I passed on it. I figure it takes a couple years for the bugs to be worked out.

I miss my old Motorola V60S flip phone. It looked beautiful and the sound was amazing. (Now it’s “vintage” - LOL!)

AT&T store employee said the same thing.

Limited number of “ folds” before it fails

Too soon to tell on the trifold, but I’ve had the Fold 4, 6 and now 7 and they’ve held up for tens of thousands of cycles.
