    AnonD-947580, 07 Oct 2020I don't care about a flashy hinge - I want a much bett... moreSo much fluff is not necessary. 6 or 10 cameras who cares. I had the fold 2 for 10 days and returned it because of battery. We need a real battery 4500 mah doesn't cut it in the real world. Text, email, phone, 15 minute video and by 3 pm the battery is at 30% or less. Please a bigger battery or better battery management.

          That RGB strip need to have a function for like notification light or something to make sense as otherwise it's just for bling that drains battery life for no reason

Obsolete literally means that it's been replaced by a newer model and/or is out of production, both of which will be true once the Fold 3 replaces the Fold 2. Go read something.

              So if they released the next version 3 years later, it won't get obselete?
              Whatever problem you have exists in your head.
              A phone doesn't become obselete just because a new version is launched.

                Trollhammeren, 07 Oct 2020Next ... RGB toilet paper ... ...and after that a a new breed of sea creatures glowing in any color they choose from thanks to the disintegrated RGB toilet paper flushed into the ocean😃

                  Makes me remember surface phone fan render, it may be just next gen, or so I hope...
                  Though in surface it's probably 180 degree bended screen, so still only half way to real foldable, but at least better than with bezels.
                  Hope sony does one though, with a jack and serious cameras. Would be worth 2x the price of the others then.

                              Meanwhile, Apple foldable patent has never made it to the market yet.
