Foldables were once the niche format that only impressively early adopting hipsters would consider, but now that the Galaxy and Google folds have been in existence for a couple of years all that is changing - and FAST.

Even though they still represent only a small portion of the total smartphone market, and crucially Apple don't have one (yet), foldable phones are considered the fastest-growing handset segment.

From reading a book, to playing games or watching Netflix - they are just SO MUCH better - and unlike a tablet, it's in your pocket.

As you can hear, we are a little bit in love with them at Repatch even though they have their own unique set of maintenance quirks. The batteries are pretty standard, but we can now also source outer and inner screens as well as some hinge components.

So if you've ever taken a Foldable to the beach and come into contact with the sand, we are literally a WhatsApp away to restoring your pride-and-joy.
