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.

    I got a new screen for my ol’ trusty Poco F1, from AliExpress, for 20€, and spent an hour to install it.

    Why is the question about “stopping me” - there’s nothing here to motivate me to get one, so by default I won’t.
