Dramatic much. The Open came out 1 year ago, if they wait a extra quarter or so and dial in the details to get it better who cares... It was 2023, not 2003 and not even the start of 2023, I think it'll be OK if we don't panic. Maybe we'd actually get better software and hardware if they didn't just pump out carbon copies of phones each year with new fasades.

The cost is too high and the bundle options are okay but there is a new offer every other week. I'd buy it for less than 1k but it's too much, more so since the honor is only a 100 or so more for a newer revision.

I have seen a few foldables over the last 2-3 years, and they all seem to have problems of some sort. My nephew paid a fair bit of money for a Samsung one and after just over a year, it would not unfold fully.
I have seen others that have problems with the hinges or the screen.
Nice idea, but the technology is not there for them to be reliable and for the price people pay, I would want them to last a bit longer than 1 to 2 years.
i know people seem to change their phones so often these days, but some of us, like to keep them for as long as we can.
I will stay with normal phones, i think

Agreed! No problems at all with my 1+ Open, and it still "wows" people who see it for the first time. I will gladly wait for a meaningful upgrade vs just coming out with a new model/revision based on a calendar date.
