2023 is a big year for foldables, and that poses a big problem for Samsung. The company has been mostly unopposed in the foldable phone market, especially in the U.S. But new releases from Google, OnePlus and Motorola mean that’s no longer the case. To make matters worse the next generation of Galaxy Z foldables are shaping up to be mediocre, at best.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is arguably in a better position than the bookish Galaxy Z Fold 5. Rumors are promising a significant upgrade, in the form of a larger cover display. The Z Fold 5, on the other hand, is looking to be just as exciting as an elementary school play featuring other peoples’ kids. But that cover display may not be able to live up to its full potential — and that’s a serious problem.
