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.
Huh… the folding. I’m already mad that I can’t get a solid 5 years out of a $1200 phone, there’s no way I’m shelling out for a first wave foldy.
We’re already in the 5th generation for Samsung, far from the first wave!
