I like the concept of these phones, but I think it’s still a few years off being viable. Half the price and improve the battery, then I’ll be interested.
The best aspect of this trend is that we finally can buy devices without glass screens again. Plastic screens are so much more durable, especially if you are clumsy like I am. The prie is still to high though.

A phone that’s so good? That slows down under load and has a mediocre battery? Without accessories, for 1800$? Is this a joke?

Since gen 1 I’ve been saying “gen 5 is where I’ll start to think about eventually buying one of these”, and I feel exactly like this right now
Half the price will come in about 8 months, Samsung does pretty deep discounting when the calendar year rolls over.
Battery life though, is the another issue. Fold 5 on GSMArena’s review has slightly worse battery life than the Fold 4.
