Early phone are like prototypes, and made in much smaller numbers. And thus the higher pricing. But if Samsung gets this to the market, it would be a very interesting phone. Even more so, since LG's very exciting (looking) offering doesn't seem to have made it, unfortunately.

                                I have og galaxy fold and i am little worried about how durable these rollable phones are because the screen is still the the thing which could get damaged easily.

                                If they can get these rollable phones screen durable enough i think this is the winning formula.
