Over a crease? 🙄 I've been using folding phones for over 6 years now and although I've had my issues with them, the creases have never been one. Even the worse creases I eventually don't notice it after a few days of usage. I'll never go back to a regular bar phone, even if the creases on a folding phone swallow me up 😄
This AT&T Fold 8 Ultra offer stands out for the large trade in credit and the appeal of a bigger inner screen for multitasking, spreadsheets, and reading. The wider outer screen is also drawing interest from current Fold owners who want a more usable cover display. The main catch is the fine print around installments and credits, since upgrading can stop credits on the old phone while the remaining balance still has to be paid. Durability, crease visibility, and the lack of S Pen support also keep some buyers hesitant, making it a strong fit only if the foldable tradeoffs work for you.
Upgrade hunters with a qualifying flagship trade-in, because the credits can make the monthly cost work out better than expected.
Camera-focused buyers who expect flagship zoom and selfie features, because this foldable gives up telephoto reach, privacy-screen features, and stronger selfie hardware.
Folding durability concerns can include hinge or screen damage from small debris like sand, and some experiences report breakdowns within about two years.
The crease is reported to be minor at first and often easy to ignore after a few days or months, with some users saying it stays barely noticeable even after nearly a year. Others still worry about hinge failures, inner-screen protector lifting, and long-term fragility.
Yes. The old phone's bill credits stop when you upgrade, and the remaining installment balance still has to be paid. That can make the previous phone more expensive overall if you were counting on those credits.
Yes, if you want the best value. Paying off the old phone was described as necessary to avoid losing the existing credits, and the remaining balance still must be settled even if you upgrade.
No. A Fold 5 or Fold 3 trade-in was reported to top out at $1,000, so the full $1,900 credit does not appear to apply to every device. The exact value depends on the trade-in model and eligibility.
The minimum plan mentioned for full credit is $70 per month. That plan is described as covering the device through the bill credits, but it still requires a qualifying line and trade-in.
Having seen how bad the creases look after a year on some friends foldable phones, I'm surprised anyone still buy these. All my friends with them regret the purchase.
My crease a month into it is the same as it is today 11 month later
What? Both of my last two iPhones (iPhone 12 and iPhone 15 Pro Max) have been either entirely or almost entirely subsidized with a trade in. Traded in my iPhone XR and received the 12 for $0/mo and only had to pay the taxes in the new device. No activation fee and no change to my current plan. Then I traded in my 12 for $1000 off my 15 Pro Max, which basically translates to <$10/mo ($5?).
As long as your phone is relatively recent, AT&T will subsidize iPhones with a trade in.
