What do you mean by that?
I like the idea of a folding phone and have been waiting on it for years since the first bendable OLED screens appeared. I knew the first concept would have to start somewhere, but I was hoping it would be a little more polished and modern. The Samsung Fold looks a bit bulky and clunky while looking less modern and more retro in style.
I think it would have been better to simply present it as a "concept phone" that would not be released right now and instead be used as a foundation of things to come in the future. By releasing it now in a less impressive implementation they are simply setting themselves up to be overshadowed by other phone makers who are widely known to be working on their own folding phone implementations.
It would be different if no other company was working on their on folding phones, but several are and it is likely that at least one or two of them will look a lot more polished and modern than the Samsung Fold.
As I said though, I like the concept of a folding phone and I think it has to start somewhere. I was just hoping for something a little better as the first implementation. Regardless though, I am looking forward to the folding phones that Samsung and other phone makers offer in the future.
