Foldables have apparently failed to gain widespread adoption. On the contrary, the demand for such devices appears to be dwindling, at least according to recent reports from industry insiders and analysts. Samsung, in particular, seems to have dialled back their sales forecast for their 2025 foldables, the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Flip7.Foldables have apparently failed to gain widespread adoption.

I had a Fold 4 and sold it this year. I likely won’t buy another one until the major flaws a fixed. I don’t want to own a second phone that I can take to the beach or really anywhere that’s not a clean room without the hinges creaking for the following days. Having the extra screen real estate was nice but not worth the money and weight. Also the prices are still going up even though the technology is maturing and Samsung is just selling clones of the Fold 3 for four years now. It just doesn’t add up.
