Samsung Fold

[swimjoey1]

Anyone see the press release pretty kool. But I can’t afford it at $2000 US.

[Uniquemind]

It’s not my cup of tea. I cannot see any useful value one would get out of it that a current smartphone or tablet can’t do.

Also the wear and tear of the hinge or crease where the screen folds and opens X amount of times, if there’s screen damage in the display after a few years.

People are going to be mad if the spend 2K and 2 years later their is wear and tear along the bendy screen hinge area.

That's way too expensive for most people. Most of my friends break their phones like once a year and that's too much for the risk.

It looks pretty cool for a phone. Although even if I could afford it, which I can't, it probably wouldn't be my go to choice for a phone.

[Zachary G]

although it looks pretty cool and does quite a bit, there is no way I would pay as much money as they are asking for that phone -- and I can afford it -- its just ridiculous.

[HardCandyGirl]

Yeah, too much money. When that technology is cheaper, I'll get it. Just wait. I'm pacient. If you want to be an early adopter, you have to spend a lot.

I see little value in a foldable phone like that one. It is bulky while not providing obvious interesting use-cases. For me, it's just a costly tech showcase.

It's a cool concept, but there really isn't much that it can do that you can't do with a tablet. Surely, you can't fit a tablet in your pocket, but the Fold is $2000 USD which is far beyond my budget if I were to buy a new phone.

yeah, looks cool...but $2,000?? yikes!

Better wait until it drops. ;)

Thats the whole problem! If you drop it or damage it how could you ever afford to replace it. Far too much of a risk
Have seen the adverts and it looks amazing but not sure i need the extra screen size and definitely cant afford it.

Yeah dropping it won't be a good idea. Hopefully it'll cost a bit less in a year or two. We'll see.

Nokia's are the best. I had one when I was 10, dropped it daily and it was still perfect.

Though it is a pretty cool concept for a foldable smartphone, it might be more worth it getting a tablet instead, even though it doesn't fit in your pocket.

[Shiny Moon]

It looks cool but it's too expensive. With that money I can get a high end phone, a good TV, a PS4 and probably something else. :rolleyes:

[foxwolf]

thats a pretty nice stuff, but i find it's useless technology

[LiberalTurboprop]

I wouldn't buy it as is but hopefully it will spur on more interesting uses and reduced cost. But tbh I mostly just use my phone for Reddit, music and messaging - and use my PC or laptop for anything bigger - so I'm not really in the market for expensive phones or tablets.
