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.

    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.
