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.

    two bezelless screens that folded out to look like one screen

    You’re just never going to get that to align perfectly and you’ll still have the folding plastic, so you’ll still have the seam

      If you think there’d be folded plastic in the design I’m talking about then you must be misunderstanding me.
