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.

    They don’t have the actual answer in their poll for me which is, you pay 1800 for the z fold but get the camera of the s23 basic model. Which is wild.

    Give me the ultra cameras and I’ll buy it

      Yeah, the price is definitely the big issue with those for me. I love the form factor (especially the ones that look like the flip phones of old), but I’m not paying triple what a regular phone with similar specs would be just for that.

      Exactly this. I actually loved using the ZFold 4 when I tried it out, but losing the quality of the main cam and 10x zoom was a huge bummer for the price I was paying.

      The Galaxy Note series used to have the absolute best cameras that would eventually come to the S line. If you’re going to charge a premium for a phone it needs to be the best.
