Cheaper Samsung Galaxy Z Flip Could Hit Market Few Months From Now, But How Much? (www.techtimes.com)

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip is still expensive for some and it would make sense if a more affordable version will be available to this market.

I've got a galaxy fold 4 that I pre-ordered, so over 2 years old. I've rocked it this whole time with no case and dropped it plenty of times. It's got a couple of scratches on the hinge but has been the most solid phone I've ever owned. From my experience, your claims are simply not true.

It's only been two years though.

I had the original 2019 Motorola razr. I treated it like a precious heirloom. The screen started to have pixels die and the touch digitizer went out after 6 months. Kept it in a case and never dropped it.

I think there are a wide range of outcomes based on the manufacturing process but my experience has soured me on foldables. I’d rather use a mini phone instead. But it seems like the mini phone niche is just as small as the clamshell foldable one so I may have no choice at some point
