Would you consider buying a modern foldable smartphone?




They just seem like expensive gimmicks at this point, do you think there's something more to them? Would you consider buying one? Why or why not?

No. Seems like a big failure point to me.

I'd consider it, but it just seems too easily breakable.

Yeah I can definitely see how that would be a concern. Regular smartphones have mostly eliminated major points of failure with the exception of maybe 3 buttons and a port or two tops.

I will consider it if it's less than 300 dollars

How exactly did they push the note aside? Was there no update to the note?

Maybe after another iteration or two. My Galaxy S10 is still chugging along fine, no need to spend a bunch of money on something like that.

Nope. The Note 20 is hard to get new now and the 20 Ultra isn't worth the price or bulk imo. I don't want a gigantic fucking camera. No Note 21 this year and now there's rumors no Note 22 either. Because Samsung is focusing all their efforts on fold tech right now.

My friend somehow got a discount on the newest Samsung foldable for being a nurse. I really like it. It's so nice opening your phone and having a tablet. My biggest hang-up initially was the camera, as a Pixel owner, but her pictures are better than I expected, too.

Not until they are as thin as our current phones after folding.

Maybe if the price point ever comes down from nearly $2000.

This too. Realistically I wont buy one unless Apple makes it. Samsung phones are ugly and bulky.

Not for me. I could see it being useful if you used your phone a lot for productivity purposes, it could be nice to turn it into a tablet wherever you are.

The other one, the Galaxy Flip or whatever that's just a normal phone that folds in half looks like a total gimmick though.

The major thing holding me back from getting one is the crease they develop over time which essentially turns the middle of the screen into a zone full of dead pixels

Final bump, looks like a vast majority of people wouldn't bother with em.

My mum got that galaxy "flip" one and the flipping mechanism feels horrible. It feels like I'm breaking it.
