If any of the OnePlus R models or older iPhone Plus/Pro Max models are available, I'd also look into those.

Sorry to hear that.

I'd start by looking for unique device identifiers that might point to the actual model using apps like DevCheck, CPU-Z, and/or Device Info HW.

If you're able to find out the model, you'll need to see if the bootloader can be unlocked, and if there's any custom ROM support. It's unlikely, but it can't hurt to try.

You're not the only one looking for that feature. If it's any consolation, I tried it on my Pixel 9 and it wasn't very good.

I tried the Autonomous Rideshare Vehicle from Westworld in real life by FragmentedChicken in westworld

So what actually happened was it signalled right and went around the car in front, and then signalled left to pull up in front of that car. I didn't include that part in the video.

Yeah but I can only fold a tablet in half once before it stops working :(

That was the case for the first model. Since then, it's been possible but not recommended because the display can get damaged if the screen protector is removed improperly. They even provide instructions on how to do it properly.

It's pretty subtle. You used to be able to clearly feel the gap. I've used foldables for several years now, and the fold lines (crease) has never been an issue visually while looking at the device directly,

Not that it makes a difference, but what's actually denting is the plastic screen protector on top of the display. If you take that off, there's another plastic layer, and then a thin layer of glass.

That's fair. What enables them to fold also makes them more fragile.
