Notable bits:
Next year, Huawei and Samsung plan to introduce more competitively priced foldable phones, and other Android manufacturers are expected to follow suit, driving accelerated expansion in the foldable phone market.
Recent reports from industry insiders suggest that Huawei’s development of a triple-foldable screen phone is progressing smoothly and may be ready for launch before March next year. It’s expected that two triple-foldable screen phones will be introduced in 2024.
Supply chain sources have also revealed that Samsung is planning to bring foldable phones to the mid-range market next year, further reducing price barriers and making foldable phones more accessible to a broader range of consumers.
Smartphones are so big nowadays I’d be down to using a flip phone instead, if only they weren’t still so damn expensive. I like that form factor and the foldable screen technology seems pretty mature by now. Also, closing the phone to end a call will never not be cool.
I’m still not sold on the durability enough for it to be worth the price. I like the idea, but I’m gonna wait
I had the 2nd gen z flip and ran into durability issues. About a year in the screen started developing stress fractures along the crease. Honestly it is a solid tank aside from that though. Threw that bad boy all over the place.
Man. I loved answering my phone by flipping it open, and ending it by closing it. Star Trek style.
