    I was all set to wait for a Motorola Razr with Graphene to drop (and finally be done with Apple) until I read the iFixit tear-down of the Duo and realized that all foldables are fragile and require extra care (that I, a surfer and parent of four children, cannot guarantee).

      sand hyper accelerated my z flip 5’s death. As much as I liked that phone, I’m not sure I’ll get a foldable again because I normally like robust phones I can keep for ages with a little care

      I just want Motorola to remake the old RAZR V3xx with 5G and a decent UX.

      I’d literally buy two.
