Lee 8V88, 07 May 2025Durability will far outweigh thickness (or thin-ness...) ev... moreAgreed. Samsung has always put durability at the forefront. No reason that would change. Everybody talks big about it, but we have evidence that shows the Z5 and Z6 Fold have been more reliable. For example, SP peeling is common on the Z. It picks up around this change of season. To date, no one on reddit has posted any SP lifting and we're only two months away from the Z7. I'm sure it happens, but I haven't seen any posts. That's a first.
On the other hand, what information do we have on the durability of the foldables from China? We have nothing. They hide everything. They've been hiding it since the Mate X missed its release date in the summer of 2019. People here will say they are durable, but they have no evidence. They just have a bias. The closest we've come is the Oppo N in the form of the 1+ Open. Why do you think there isn't an Open 2? Because the durability was bad and the sales weren't enough to balance it out. Is it majority? No, but it's never the majority.

yalim, 07 May 2025With all due respect, motorola is owned by lenovo which is ... moreJaguar the car brand is British, been owned by ford for donkeys years now. You know Ferrari is owned by fiat right, Ferrari is still an Italian brand and was created in Italy by Enzo Ferrari.
Just because a company buys another one later doesn't mean that Motorola, when created, wasnt created and registered in USA.
"Motorola Mobility LLC, marketing as Motorola, is an American consumer electronics manufacturer primarily producing smartphones and other mobile devices running Android. It is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Chinese technology giant Lenovo. Motorola is headquartered at Merchandise Mart in Chicago, Illinois"

The battery volume not changing is a terrible choice. This device will be DoA for anyone that's used to the endurance of competing products from China.

If you can literally bend by hand the phone you might want to buy, that's good to know.. The next generation of thin devices will be very interesting. And I like to see what is inside expensive electronic devices and how to disassemble them.
He also makes great videos on EVs and helping people in Africa.

the fold fe should've been the fold6 and this would've been a decent upgrade over it.

Yo... moreOnly American phone brands I can think of is apple, Google and Motorola devices, Samsung is Asian, HMD (Nokia was too obviously) is Scandinavian, Sony is Asian, rest are Chinese so Asian. Nothing and CMF are British.
Also those American brands use exclusively Asian workers in Asian factories using Asian parts, so yes I'd use Chinese companies and their somehow, better designed and better quality devices for less money.

So all Samsung and apple care about is how thin a device is now?
So easier to break, less room for components to stay cool and more reasons for them to remove features and hardware yet... Increased price. It's thinner though guys, buy our products!
