The report doesn't name the company, but apparently its execs are unhappy with the 13.6% growth of the market this year.

The problem is the plastic screen and reparability.. why would I pay so much for a screen that can be scratched with my finger nails...

    Eventually all manufacturers will pull out because the market has already made it abundantly clear that it's not interested in the overpriced useless gimmicks that foldables are.

      MeMe, 13 Nov 2024You just hate Motorola. As a fan of Moto's Hello UI, this sounds funny lol.

Going to Germany and Italy for a work trip once and the condition is the same. Can you be more specific where do you mean "in general"?

        > Still doesnt change the fact that Samsung is more premium than chinese brand.
        How so? From my experience, their build quality is pretty great. They're pretty fast at giving stable updates nowadays (well except Xiaomi with their buggy software). Their back design and their UI are not really my cup of tea though (except ZTE and Motorola's).

              Probably not. But pulling out of the foldables without at least trying to fix what's needed is not a smart move.

It sounds like a watch brand or something. Using any $2,000 foldable will elicit stares and laughter from others because literally no one uses foldables. On the other hand, using the compact $800 iPhone 15 will make you the coolest guy or girl. You'll still have $1,200 left over that you could use on Disney memberships to watch cartoons xD

                              This is bad for compensation because they are getting cheaper every year or 2 to make.
