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.
Why do you need SD cards in 2023? Most phones don’t have this?
To double or more the storage for much cheaper than the internal storage upgrades cost… is that not enough? Even the folds don’t have more than 512gb and they cost over $1000. My sub $500 phone from years ago is running a 512gb SD card, which I can seamlessly slot into my next phone when I swap.
Sure, but why do you need Storage in the first place? I have always had less than 100gb and it’s plenty for all apps etc. Everything else goes in the cloud
Just because it works for you means it should work for me? I want more storage than you need.
For one thing- if you take lots of photos and videos.

Sure, let me pay the same I did for the SD card for half as much storage that will expire in a year ($40 for 200GB in GDrive). It’ll be super handy when I am on 250MB of cell data or have no reception at all and want to listen to my music in the cloud.
Why need storage at all?
Have the thing connect to the Internet to do even basic tasks like answering the phone.
A mainframe of sorts.
To carry the backup data to another phone If it fails.
To have my high quality music and movies with me, at all times.
