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’re way too expensive and they’re still early-generation devices. Plus, why would I trust Google to continue with the product line seeing as how they keep killing viable products and services?

    If they get to the Pixel Fold 4 or 5 and the price is down to the $500-600 range, then it’d be a very serious contender for me. (Assuming the insane fragility is resolved)
