Won’t really see the boom anywhere else either

Current estimates are that Samsung will sell less than 5-6 million total foldables this year, it’s a declining marketshare.

I cannot believe anybody is going to be crazy for any kind of folding Phone. particularly if they're old enough to remember the last ones ! They were extremely vulnerable to impact damage. I most certainly don't want a screen with a crease across it,and can't see why others would !

You kind have to , those foldable screens start cracking around the 15 month mark. Probably why resale value drops like a rock.

Don't keep a phone more than 12 months. Resale value is not an Issue because I usually give them away to friends or family.
