If it's pricey, it has to be water-resistant. That basic.

      There's a market out there for these, just not your average everyday user.

      Years ago, I bought the Ericsson T28 because I thought it looks "cool"

      The people buying this have the same mindset, in this age of functionality.

            Don't buy it. The screen is plastic, not glass. Scratches from contact with any ordinary household object. Shame on Samsung for trying to get away with claiming this is "glass".

              motofan, 14 Feb 2020this is cool but I'll go for the RAZR!You clearly haven’t used a Razr yet.

                folding phones seems to be more suitable for mid range- low end phones.

                  Do not buy it for only one reason, the price.
                  In the US it is $1380 what is €1280 ... but the price in Europe is €1480 ... why?
                  Do they think at Samsung that the can milk us more?
                  You can keep this ugly phone.

                    the Galaxy Z Flip is truly a folding glass phone. It’s just that glass is actually made by German manufacturer Schott, it’s got a soft, scratchable plastic layer up top.

                        Why so many negative comment did most of them use or own before? The objective of this phone is make it easy to keep in pockets or easy to carry the rest of the spec as long it reasonable i think it ok.

                            PAD, 16 Feb 2020Too expensive, will wait until prices drop - a lot!You will have to wait long for that to happen. This is limited edition device and bleeding edge. So I dont see it getting discounted big time like regular samsung phones. Galaxy Fold is not available at crazy discount either(I am ignoring Escobar fold :-) ).

                            Once these devices become mainstream we have Galaxy Sxx as foldable phones you could see them at mainstream prices. until then its niche device for ultra rich to set themselves apart from rest of the folks.

                                    Not sold on foldable phones like the Razr, Fold and this one. They are pretty early in development, they are ugly and fat devices and they cost hideously a lot of money. Call me back in 10 years time..

                                      I got the chance to use one yesterday and I was very impressed. Personally I wouldn't buy one simply because of the extortionate costs, but when these devices become cheaper I will seriously consider it. I thought I was going to hate the crease in the middle but although it's very noticeable it doesn't ruin the user experience at all.

                                      My biggest gripe is the sound quality. Its ok, but on such a wide display I would expect to have a good experience when watching Netflix etc however the single speaker just isn't good enough.

                                        People have mentioned that this is a different form factor already but you Sony fanboys don't get it.
                                        When the S or Note series come with 21:9 aspect ratio, then we can talk again.
