In Light of the News, Will You Buy The Samsung Galaxy Fold?

[samthebreadman]

Curious to hear your thoughts. Not the same topic as the other thread that broke the news.

...who was buying the Fold before the news?

 

[giancarlo123x]

I wasn't going to before the screen failure shenanigans. Too pricey for me to beta test the first gen product.

 

[CloseTalker]

Even assuming it wasn't breaking down left and right, and it wasn't $2000, it's still ass ugly.

 

[Breqesk]

i look forward to having a cool foldable tablet future phone thingy in about five years

 

[DJ_Lae]

I had no plans to begin with - and I'm still not convinced the tech will ever get where it needs to be for something we use every day.

 

[vacantseas]

No, I will not be purchasing a Galaxy Fold.

 

[shnurgleton]

I thought it was dumb even before the news

 

[Turin Turambar]

What news?

[Shelbyville Milhouse]

Yes, I am gonna buy a 2000€ phone that is likely to break within the first week

 

[KillLaCam]

Nah I wouldn't buy first generation mobile tech anyway. Maybe the Fold 3

 

[Olaf]

ummm what news? poor thread

 

[Osahi]

I was never going to spend 2000 on a phone. Never spent more than 250 on one, nor more than 400 on a tablet.

 

[DrewFu]

What news?

 

[Johnny Blaze]

I will buy ten. Will last me for days!

Basically no-one probably lol

 

[Rvaan]

Even if the phone wasn't busted I don't have the desire to spend $2k on a phone.

I don't believe it's coming out in its current form.

That's the only right answer.

 

[Flaurehn]

I was never going to buy this, my plan has always been waiting to 2021-22 so the shortcoming can be adressed and then maybe, I like the idea behind it tho

Huge design flaw.

[TheMadTitan]

Until folding phones are no thicker than current slate phones once folded, I won't be buying one.

Sadly, that doesn't surprise me. The whole thing looked like chintzy crap from the start.

 

[CopyOfACopy]

I don't buy Samsung products anymore

ive had lots of issues with their build quality (phones, tvs)

 

[turbobrick]

wasnt going to buy it anyway

 

[Deleted member 4783]

I pity the fool who does.

 

[Damaniel]

Do I want a foldable phone? Sure.

Am I dumb enough to buy the first (or second, or third) iteration of folding display tech? Nah.

Give the tech another 3-4 years to mature and I might jump on.

Me lol. Already placed an order. Caught the news after. Good thing I put in insurance though.

 

[Heromanz]

Why would any sane person spend $2,000 on the phone?

 

[Blue Skies]

They went the opposite way of what I wanted.

I want an iPhone X Max sized device that folds down into half it's size.

 

[ChrisR]

I was never buying the first gen to begin with. Give the tech a few years and yes I'll get one.

 

[Deleted member 3038]

Where's the "Was never going to buy the 1st gen version" option?

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Why would anyone at this point?

 

[Raxus]

I will never ever buy x phone new.

Helped me avoid a ton of issues AND avoid paying an arm and a leg for a new piece of tech.

 

[Reinhard]

I doubt anyone on Era was going to buy it in the first place other than people with a ton of income who regularly spend $2k on meals and wouldn't care if a new tech product broke within the first few days of ownership lol. Very very stupid to buy a first gen product when it is new tech like this.

 

[Grym]

I had no intention of jumping in with the first gen of this tech (from anyone) to begin with

 

[Kraken3dfx]

 

[Pororoka]

For a moment I read the tittle wrong and I was like "Is Ford relaunching the Galaxy?"

EDIT: I was referring to the Galaxie, I didn't knew there was a Ford Galaxy already (maybe because I haven't seen any on the streets)

 

[FTF]

Where's the I was never going to buy it option?

 

[Tabs2002]

I wasn't buying it anyway. Its too expensive

 

[Sanjuro]

I didn't even buy 5G due to new tech...

 

[The Albatross]

I wasn't buying this phone before that flaw. There's too many compromises.

Maybe in a few generations.

 

[Perzeval]

I have a feeling it will be pulled.

 

[Bear]

lol what is this thread? If this released at the price they suggested, it would've bombed.

 

[Deleted member 35011]

No. I very much want a phone that can fold out into a tablet because that would be really nice(netflix on the go, art work, even writing assuming I get a decent portable keyboard) but I'm not crazy enough to spend $2000 on a first gen device. I can wait a few years for an iteration that has sorted out the kinks.

 

[Error 52]

This shit gonna be the NBA Elite 11 of mobile phones

 

[Deleted member 4247]

I wasn't anyway, always seemed like a bad idea and not something I'd want anyway. But after this, HELL no.

 

[Deleted member 23381]

At least specify what 'the news' is instead of being so fucking ambiguous in your shitty ass OP

 

[jon bones]

not sure what the news is, what a terrible thread

having said that - i am excited for folding screen tech in a few years
