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.

    Sure, but why do you need Storage in the first place? I have always had less than 100gb and it’s plenty for all apps etc. Everything else goes in the cloud

      Just because it works for you means it should work for me? I want more storage than you need.

      Sure, let me pay the same I did for the SD card for half as much storage that will expire in a year ($40 for 200GB in GDrive). It’ll be super handy when I am on 250MB of cell data or have no reception at all and want to listen to my music in the cloud.

      Why need storage at all?

      Have the thing connect to the Internet to do even basic tasks like answering the phone.

      A mainframe of sorts.
