Foldable smartphones have reached their fifth major generation, as heralded by Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5…
For me it’s definitely the durability concerns. I’ve valued my phone’s water and dust resistance since getting an ip67 phone years and years ago. My brother had a flip and a grain of sand in his pocket got under the display; when he closed the phone the display died. And they expect me to pay more for the privilege.
Mix of cost and it doesn’t actually benefit me at all. I buy a cheap phone and it does everything it needs to, i don’t need to add a 0 to the cost to get no actual benefit for me.
Probably makes more sense for people that actually use their phones for work or something.
