I've got a folding phone so I can unfold the screen into a small tablet and it's so much easier to type on it.
It would be nice if Samsung would put decent cameras in the fold, but I'm still going to get another one because I'm not going back to a teeny tiny screen.
I tried the F(x)tec Pro^1^x earlier this year in the hopes that it would unlock some writing productivity for me with its built-in keyboard. I managed to get one really cheap, but it (like many other "exotic" phones) had so many cellular network connectivity issues that I gave up. I now have a Samsung Galaxy A54 with GoogleFi. The typing experience sucks but at least I can make / receive calls...
Don't import phones it's a waste of time, particularly if you're importing into the US because for some reason the US has this weird standard that nowhere else uses, because reasons. But that's just an issue with imported phones in general.
