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 prohibitively expensive, the aspect ratio is dumb, and the fold/crease is distracting as hell.

    It reminds me of back in the '00s when people were getting the sidekick or whatever that “T” shaped phone was that Tony Stark had in Ironman.
