This is going to be like shaving razors, isn’t it? How soon before quad-fold phones?

Nice, it has twice as many failure points as previous folding phones.

Whose brilliant idea was it to demo this with a wallpaper that looks like a shitty diagonal screen fold?

You had me and then you lost me.

Samsung’s Most Versatile AI Phone, Powered by the Largest Screen

Considering everyone I know with a folding phone has had a fault with the folding part of it - I don't think its the best idea from a durability standpoint to add yet another folding part.

If one screen or fold point breaks, you're now left with two unusable (but perfectly functioning) screens. Seems like an expensive gimmick to me.

I’d love to see a Japanese fan style phone 🪭 Maybe it folds up into a reusable straw?

Not that I'd ever buy it, but I'm looking forward to the price tag so I can have a good laugh.

Why did they make the screens fold in? The Huawei Mate XT folds up in a z-shape, which imo makes more sense as you don't need a 'fourth' outer display anymore. Seems more efficient that way.

You know, it’s like 3 screens, so they can push you triple the amount of ads and bloat ware! Yay!

😦

At least we know the folding will stop at 7.

*foldable tablet that can also make calls

After reading through the comments and seeing the majority of people are commenting negatively but have never had a folding phone. i feel like i should chime in.

I have owns a fold 3 a fold 6 and now a fold 7, my wife has a fold 5 and we have never had one fail on us. No broken screens, no scratches or bugs. There are also several people where i work who have had at least 2 generations of these phones and also have never had issues.

I know these things break, but so does any phone. Phones breaking tend to be a user problem and not a hardware one. If you dont handle with care then you are the problem.

In fact i have only ever broken 1 phone in my 20+ years of using them and it was entirely my fault. I put it on a book on a table, then without thinking i lifted the book and it slid off and landed in a bucket of water. Pixel 1 not waterproof. My bad.

I guess i just think people are quick to judge these phones without ever having used one and i think thats so short sighted.

This is a very cool piece of technology. The comments here naysaying about it seem odd to me. If it's not for you that's fine, but many millions of foldables have been bought over the past few years, and they continue to sell very well today

Impressive from an engineering standpoint and it's only going to get more refined. Give it 5-10 years and maybe they will be durable enough for regular use.

This means that there is a wrong way to fold the phone, but the phone has automatic vibrating and visual alerts to keep you from doing that

More unfixable crap for a world drowning in crap. Hooray!

Yes, because the dual-fold phone did so great. Clearly the problem was a lack of folds

I don't want large phones that get even larger. I want a large phones that becomes smaller for my pocket.

I know a person who has some Samsung foldable phone that is as of right now (2025.12.03) about a year old. According to them, everything was fine since February when the phone was bought. But last week we got below 0C weather, so the fold line on the screen got layers separated.

Z Fold 7 is 2000 euro. They might have Z Fold 6, I am not sure. Regardless, that is way too expensive of a phone to breaks under a mildly cold weather.

It sucks. I know its not for everyone and for sure its gonna cost €€€€.
The foldable phone are fine, yet expensive and not so widely used.

Why?

I guess i don't really see the point. Is there a strong use case out there, or is this a marge's potato? ("I just think they're neat")

Actually not the first tri-folded phone, but OK
