Sorry but folding glass phones are stupid.

I would be an ideal customer for the Samsung fold but I never pulled the trigger because

  • the dimensions make the closed device too tall. Make it the same as the Ultra non foldable.

  • screen fold mechanism/hinge not as good as their competition

  • must have the S pen (I know views on this are divided)

I remain a happy Note Ultra customer instead. Hey, they still get my money so it's not all bad for Samsung.

Foldable phones look like the best of both worlds, but that screen looks like one fold the wrong way and it's problems.

Maybe they could switch things up and offer a single modern mini phone model, under 5".

Size is the main reason I moved to a foldable 2 years ago. I'd love something reasonably sized instead of everything being giant phablets.

I use Sony Xperia phones, they aren't as big and still have the same features I love - SD Card and Headphone Jack

I still don't think the tech is there. My current phone is 6 years old and there still is no reason to get a new one - I couldn't imagine a foldable lasting that long. The ones I've seen in person didn't age particulary well.

And you still have an SD card slot and headphone jack - you are ahead of the curve

Exactly, folding phones have so many issues people very rarely buy a folding one again.

People aren't buying as many phones as they used to, and the Chinese are making cheaper foldables now.
