    I like the concept of these phones, but I think it’s still a few years off being viable. Half the price and improve the battery, then I’ll be interested.

      Since gen 1 I’ve been saying “gen 5 is where I’ll start to think about eventually buying one of these”, and I feel exactly like this right now

      Half the price will come in about 8 months, Samsung does pretty deep discounting when the calendar year rolls over.

      Battery life though, is the another issue. Fold 5 on GSMArena’s review has slightly worse battery life than the Fold 4.

    A phone that’s so good? That slows down under load and has a mediocre battery? Without accessories, for 1800$? Is this a joke?

    The best aspect of this trend is that we finally can buy devices without glass screens again. Plastic screens are so much more durable, especially if you are clumsy like I am. The prie is still to high though.

        Except in every scenario. Plastic back then was just as soft as it is now. The statement they made was just dumb.
