I miss my old Motorola RAZR flip phone.

If you wanna blow $1,400. You can get Moto's new Razr Flip. Same premise as the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, but different hinge and foldable design. Looks like a decently solid phone.

It's a good thing I understand that a mobile phone is nothing but a miniature radio, subject to all the oddities that the atmosphere will put it through.

Gorilla glue? Special adhesive tape? Hot snot?

The tough part will be with phones. More companies are adding 5g which inherently raises the price. But, you are also future proofing yourself for the time if/when 5g does become available within your area.

The issue with getting a 5g phone right now (especially android) is that the phone OS may not be supported in 5 years when 5g readily becomes available.

If you can swing $2,000 for the Z Fold 2. Do it. it's fun to hold the future in your hand. But i wouldn't get the phone strictly for 5g. You can pick up a pixel and spend the other $1,500 on cigars.

The other option you can do with your s10 is root it and load a custom rom onto it. lineage OS is readily available for the device and will keep is running smooth for years to come.

Hmmm buy a pixel and spend $1500 on cigars, car parts or guns.....decisions, decisions....
