Foldable phones are finally boring, and that's the win
The hinge doesn't creak, the crease barely shows, and nobody asks if it's durable anymore.
For the first few years, every foldable review was secretly a durability review. Will the hinge survive a year of pocket use? Will the crease bother you after the first week? Those questions have quietly stopped being the headline.
What changed
Hinge mechanisms matured, display materials got tougher, and manufacturers stopped treating foldables as a flagship showcase and started treating them as a normal product line. The result is a category that's finally judged on cameras and battery life like everything else.
