As someone who reviews phones for a living, it's easy for me to say that foldable phones have come a long way since Samsung introduced the first Galaxy Fold in 2019. They're more durable now, and they're getting more affordable, too.
But when I started asking people in Times Square what they thought about foldable phones, it was a pretty stark reminder that there's still a lot of shoppers who don't even know what these devices are or why they should want them. Some even expressed sticker-shock when we told them how much a foldable costs.
