1. To expensive for the build quality
2. To fragile (see point 1)
3. Screen peeling off (see point 1&2)
4. It requires a backpack to carry around
5. The outside display is that off a first iphone(including screen to body ratio)
6. First evolution, let's leave it for people who wants it first despite of a poor quality (see point 1 to 3)
7. Despite the size there's no space for audio jack( see point 1)
8. It's a tablet rather than smartphone
9. Impossible to close quietly nor to open with one hand
10. Despite the size you still get a MASSIVE notch on the main display

Anonymous, 20 Apr 2019He is trying hard to defend this flop. But he did say it lo... moreBecause most of them are sponsored to make that YT content:
Headline from March 19th,2019:
"Samsung’s US marketing chief abruptly leaves company after internal investigation
Marc Mathieu led Samsung to investing in some of tech’s biggest YouTubers"
God only knows how deep the tentacles spread.

Finally, a flagship phone that looks normal when held up against the face. It's been so comically over the past few years watching people hold big screen TV next to their heads.

The only thing we need to know is that it breaks pretty easily. This is still a Generation 1 product with alot of issues. And even if it doesn't have those problems, most of us still won't be able to to afford it.
I'm trying to think if I really need a foldable right now? It's not like I ever cared for tablets and phablets. I guess not really unless they make the phone more compact down the road. I don't need a $2000 Android tablet.

Whackcar, 20 Apr 2019I completely agree with your statement. All the Youtubers (... moreI actually am inclined to disagree. If Apple had been doing it, this probably would not have happened (cuz Apple knows they can't screw up) and the first gen excuse would still be valid. Sure, they're being aggressive in defending, but let's not forget that it's foldable technology that could be in danger in terms of moving forward if they don't defend it to some degree. I think Jon from FPT and Jon from JoMo put it best: Don't root for the tech to fail, this never should have happened, they rushed it, but at least they're willing to take the hit and at least respond to our growing complaints of everything looking the same, which is much more than we can say for MANY other companies. They chose to take the fall so others did not have to.

Looks like it's not without its flaws but at least I'm happy they're trying something new, this can only get better

Nobody wants to lose viewers.
So youtubers will spare the products.
Unbox Therapy is the only channel that makes any critics on Apple stuff.
All other drool on them. They protect same way.

My comment for number 7.. BE AWARE... NOT GOOD !! if you have a ATM or CREDIT card in you pocket and with the folded phone... for sure it will demagnetize the cards. Bottom line cards will not work at all... what do you think guys !!!

You guys missed one very big negative thing, when you do split multitasking and after you fold the phone the Split View is gone.

So, nobody gonna call the fold 'the remote control phone'? Why the new Xperia range gets all the hate?
