Standard disclaimer that Samsung's ZFold range is very fragile (mine personally lasted a year, and I have the 4th generation!) so I would be VERY hesitant to use a first generation of this. If you think "It's Samsung not Huawei, they would thoroughly test its reliability before selling it", you are mistaken.

The Huawei Mate XT for that matter has become infamous for its unreliability and Huawei are apparently refusing repairs blaming user error, or charging the cost of an iPhone to repair them. Not a great choice unless you have money to burn.

This is only second device in such form factor (first one from Huawei was long time Chinese exclusive) so, for now, there is WoW-factor baked in. Something to impress billion-dollar CEOs and the like. Give it a few generations to reach general public
