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.

    Foldables have the potential to make phones better for some people. But better is always subjective. And in my opinion the current faults with foldables means they aren’t ready for me to use yet.

      So the response to “what’s stopping you from getting a foldable” is: the currents faults in foldable. See? Its not too hard.
