Writing this from my first ever large foldable I got just a few days ago: They're cool! The large screen is great for watching videos, reading a book or playing a game! Browsing the web is also pretty sweet.

And the Flip foldables are really great for small pockets, had one previously.

great for watching videos

...how, exactly? Other than the models that fold like an old clamshell, none of the phones I've seen make the screen wider, they just make it square. But in either case, you would have the exact same screen size with a normal phone, it would just the half the thickness and wouldn't have a seam down the middle. I guess if you a connoisseur of old 4:3 TV shows it could be nice.
