    What's the point of having a screen that fold's in all directions ? We need something strong without the crease and gap ..

        This needs to be cheaper because it has one less screen and less cameras.

                Wow, this is amazing!
                Looking forward to ZFold24 with 2 inward facing cameras which can be flipped 360 for inward and outward taking plus a slot for the S Pen!
                My dream phone!
                Imagine, with these 2 inward cameras, our 3D picture/video taking is coming real!
                And best of all these cameras are protected as well.
                Now the challenge is for Samsung engineers to fix the bulge, but adopting the tear drop fold properly, we may find the nice spot there!

                  Is it still worth mentioning one screen less, its still half thickness for sensor.
                  My suggestion is, make a hole under screen for 1.5" sensor so if you close that, you won't see a bump and possibly can use those even as under screen cameras.
                  Feel free to go on patent spree, just bring some upgrade worthy of 2023/24.

Unlike the Galaxy Fold where I constantly use the enlarged version of an app and not all apps are optimized for large screen use, I can still retain the usual smartphone experience when using the V50's Dual Screen case. Also, I don't have to worry about app splitting as I can easily use any two apps I want at the same time with just a simple tap. More bonus point for the V50's Dual Screen case as I can detach it if I want to keep my pocket light at certain times. Needless to say, I never regretted the decision to do the switch at all. If anything, I'm looking to add the V60 to my collection.

                            Yuck. I hate to have scratches on my screen from the first few days just by using it in folded mode. And how the heck could I use the main cams with one hand??!

Samsung always try to market the Z Fold line as "tablet replacement", hence why we never see something like Tab S8 mini. However, not everyone wants to pay for a screen that keeps on getting creases after prolonged use and expensive to repair.

                                I totally doubt if Samsung can implement the waterdrop hinge design for this kind of screen. Imagine the crease from it after continuously folding outwards.

                                  Daemon Targaryen, 20 Jan 2023Microsoft Surface Duo can live on using this tech. Kinda doubt it at all. I still find dual display to be way more useful than foldable screen, especially if it's can be detachqble like LG's Dual Screen case.

                                    This is the foldable that will make me buy them. I don't need an extra screen as much as I need a bigger battery
