With the introduction of foldable phones, the technology industry has recently experienced a significant advancement. By fusing the convenience of a traditional smartphone with the adaptability of a tablet, these cutting-edge devices promise to revolutionise the way we interact with our smartphones. Although there is a lot of excitement surrounding foldable phones among tech enthusiasts, it is important to recognise that it may take some time before they become widely used products. The slower adoption and integration of foldable phones into the mass market are caused by a number of factors. Here are 5 different reasons why it is still impractical to buy a foldable.

1. Price

The cost of them is significantly higher than the price of the current flagship smartphones in India, whether they are the recently released foldables or the previous generation foldable smartphones. The lowered standards are a further consideration. The specifications of foldables, which are more expensive than traditional flagship phones, are typically less impressive than those of other phones.

2. Durability

Although they have a fancy appearance, foldables are thought to have a complicated and weakly built design. Due to their folding flaps, foldables have much weaker screens. It's interesting that foldables are frequently introduced with a number; for instance, the Oppo Find N2 Flip was tested for approximately 400,000 folds, which is intended to raise questions in the minds of potential buyers.

3. Display

One of the major reasons that can be put as an argument against the foldables is the crease from where they fold. This crease comes as a disturbance for the user to do their day-to-day tasks that include gaming, video streaming, and more.

4. Battery And Performance

According to the most recent technology, a consumer genuinely searches for a flagship phone that has an AMOLED display and a high refresh rate. With the Foldables, however, this is not the case because the screen is much larger and will use a lot of battery to operate, so they may have to compromise for the performance.

On the other hand, the performance is also impacted by battery efficiency and the desiccated parts specifically designed for the foldables.

5. User interface

Software must be improved and more optimised for the large screen. Some essential components, such as the slick interface and supported applications, are still lacking in The Folds. However, a crucial part of this will be played by the application developers.

Foldables Will Be There But Not Today

The manufacturers of smartphones are constantly working to create more intelligent, powerful, and foldable smartphones. The effect won't be felt right away, though. It will be interesting to see how Samsung, Motorola, Oppo, and other brands advance their technological capabilities and offer the general public a practical foldable phone.
