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’m a fan of small phones and as such been waiting for the fold-tech to lead to smaller devices.
Therefore the Razr+ (40 Ultra) and the Flip5 are the first phones to raise my interest since I got my Pixel 5.
I really like the way Moto implemented the external Display but the Flip seems to win in almost any other category.
After reading/watching a lot of reviews I came to the conclusion that (for now) I’ll still be better off with a Galaxy S23. Maybe next year…
