Happy with the Flip 3. It is small in the pocket. I can check messages and new emails without unfolding. I can even do NFC payments while it's folded up.

Besides that, I can stand it on my desk with the screen towards me, which is very convenient when doing things on a computer and the phone simultaneously (like 2FA authentication).

Can't think of any downsides to a standard phone really.

I think durability and price are the 2 biggest downsides people will face with a folding phone. A third might be software support, but I don't know if the situation has improved over time?

I think the wavy reflections and distortion along the fold would trigger my OCD.
