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 got one, but got rid of it after the screen cover plastic became rigid and creaky…twice. Worse, Samsung said they’d cover it once under warranty, and that after their ubreak ifix people were telling me it’d cost $200 to fix and I had to explain I had a protection plan to the braindead tech ten times.
Not worth it until they solve durability issues.
