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.
It’s way too expensive for what I want.
I actually just want a very small but very functional smartphone since I currently don’t have a phone at all.
I just use my Tab S7+5G as a phone, been doing that since the S6. I’ve just recently ran into some issues where I might need a smaller device, e.g. to use some store app QR codes or similar stuff where you’d have to present your phone. Well… I can actually do that just fine, but pulling out a 12inch tablet makes you look like a dork.
To be honest, I’d wish someone made a non-folding phone with a the height of a folded folding phone lmao
