Is it worth buying a folding smartphone in 2021?Rather not, for practical reasons and still high price.The situation is to change in 2022 when prices are to go down.
Folding smartphones - like any technological innovation - are expensive.However, over two years have passed since the first really strong blow.Two generations are still expensive later, but already acceptable, almost at the level of "ordinary" flagships.And in 2022 it is supposed to be even better - at least the rumor says.
According to the well -known Chinese leakster - Digital Chat Station - prices of next year's flagships with folding screens are to drop to the level of models with traditional displays.Technology popularization, lower mass production costs and participation from other manufacturers are certain.And so it should be, because ultimately these types of constructions also offer weaker photographic facilities.

How many folding smartphones will cost in 2022?
Apparently, we are talking about the amounts in which Samsung's flagship models rotate.Of course, it is the Korean manufacturer who is in the best situation - it has experience, a group of users and a lion's part of the market of folding smartphones.There is Huawei somewhere there, and now only Oppo can threaten him on a large scale.
This is only a truism, but in fact the market for folding smartphones will start only when Apple enters it.The premium phones segment in their pocket with a huge advantage.I would not be surprised if the first iPhone Fold were temporary and offered together with ordinary flagships (see premiere of iPhone 8 and iPhone X), for its successor was the only option in the offer.
Or maybe this year's folding flagship after price reductions is worth buying?You will find out that by reading our Samsung Galaxy test with Flip 3 5G.
