New post: The Galaxy Z Fold 7, one month in.
I expected to hate this phone. I thought the fold was a solution to a problem I didn't have. I thought the flip was the right form factor and the fold was a gimmick for people with more money than sense.
A month later, it has changed how I work. Dev work, blogging, AT training, video calls — all better. The inner display turned my phone into an actual multitasking device instead of a single-app pipeline I constantly switched between.
It's not the best foldable on the market. The battery can't keep up with combined phone and tablet use. One UI is still bloated. TalkBack has bugs unique to this device. But the form factor itself? Sold.
Full post covers accessibility, screen reader quirks, hardware, what sucks, and why I'm already eyeing the Clicks Communicator as my next phone because I can't leave well enough alone.

@fireborn@dragonscave.space I'd be really interested in reading more about your phone-first workflow--what apps you use for coding/writing, etc. I've wanted something like that for a while now but haven't had the patience to smash my head against a brick wall for a while figuring it out, which you've obviously already done. :)
