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.
I simply don’t like them. There’s zero use case where I would consider a foldable phone superior, or even equivalent to a regular one.
Video calling is pretty neat when you fold it and let it sit on a table etc, but might as well use a laptop…
