No, most people don't need the foldable. There is a huge marketing campaign right now to prove the opposite, sending those to all kind of influencers, but most buyers are either tech enthusiasts or just people who want to flex with it. I had Fold 6 and 7 and now I'm back on regular S Ultra. You are not really going to bother to unfold it on the go just to check the uber location, place an order or quickly check one email. I see foldables can be useful for some CEOs or people who run business from smartphone. For others, if you just want to use it to watch some content in bed - better buy a dedicated tablet.
