                    How? samsung hasn't release foldable phone yet. They just can't make a copy without the original

                      It will still be consumer feedbacks and sales numbers that will determine it.

                        The reason why Xperia Z series became hugely popular was because of the original Z... it was the first one of its kind with good specs to boot against competition.

                        However, it waned down over the next iterations because Sony was slow to go ahead over its competitors.

                        Hope they can get back on track again...
                        I still love my Xperia Play but it is now thrown into oblivion because of current flagships.

                        Let's face it... given Sony's performance, they're still way behind or have alot of catching up to do.

                          [deleted post]When sony had waterproofing 4 years ago with premium glass sandwiches design, no one bats an eye and call it gimmick, now every company follow the principle and no credit to sony

                              So after the bezel-less and dual camera craze of 2017, foldable smartphones are the next trend? Well, I just hope it's not going to be a gimmick or doing it just for the sake of doing it. It should be more functional and useful with applications on it.

                                  I think the next trend would be the facial scanner, or maybe even voice recognition
                                  or even Iris scanner, spy-stuff are always trendy...
