Let's see why that might be...

  • not waterproof (or resistant in any way to water)
  • ugly crease in miffle of screen.
  • uber sensitive "glass"
  • fragile mechanical hinge
  • stupidly expensive price tag
  • inferior cameras when compared to slabs

Well, first you should really check the facts before you throw out some nonsense.

  1. The Z Folds are IPX8 water resistant. But it's not resistant to dust.

  2. Having a big dynamic island taking away content on screen is actually 10000 times worse than an invincible crease when you look at the screen in front of the screen.

  3. Actually, the outer screen on any smartphones are likely to get cracked a long time before the inner screen on the Z Folds gets damaged.

  4. The hinge on the Z Fold5 is rock solid. The Z Fold4 had a bad hinge. I know because I was unlucky to get a bad hinge on my Z Fold4.

  5. If you look at the price on an iPhone 15 Pro Max, specifically here in Norway, you will see that the Z Fold5 with 512 GB internal storage is about 100 dollar cheaper than the iPhone 15 Pro Max with 512 GB internal storage.

  6. That's true. But that doesn't means the cameras on the Z Fold5 are bad in any ways though.

I mean, saying a model is cheaper than the latest iPhone is like saying Teslas are cheaper than Mercedes-Benz.
