Samsung can’t afford to release another foldable like the Galaxy Z Fold 5 — here's why

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

Earlier this week Samsung took to the stage at Galaxy Unpacked, and announced two new foldables, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5. But, despite a few redeeming features, both phones are, by all accounts, rather dull.
