Almost two months ago I started an experiment in which I wanted to spend a year using folding mobiles extensively. It was not a question of always being with the same model, but of not ceasing to be in contact with this type of device.
This allowed me to take it to places where I can’t always take test phones, like vacations, events, etc. And it also showed me how much attention people pay to these types of devices.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that Samsung was spending big bucks advertising its foldables, and it seems to be working.
Come on, you’re not wearing the folding mobile anymore?
When scanning many terminals each month, it is quite normal that when I see a person, they are not carrying the same mobile as the previous time. In fact, my parents often ask me about the cell phone I carry when I visit him. They have rarely seen him before.
But last week, while using the Samsung Galaxy S21 FE for the review, I noticed a lot more people asking me if I’m not using the foldable anymore.
Foldables have managed to create an element of mobile appeal that hasn’t been seen since dumb phones became smart phones. We’ve already talked about the comfort we’ve lost and that this format gives us back, but we could also talk about the appeal they have even for people who are far from tech-savvy.
It reminded me of 2003, when I was using a Nokia 3650 and people were amazed that the phone had a built-in camera.
Attract attention whether you like it or not
I’ve never been a person who likes other people noticing her or what I have, whether it’s a cell phone, clothes, car, or house. But there are people who do that.
Foldables, at the moment, give that differentiating element that the iPhone had a few years ago.
They are rare, expensive terminals (although the Z Flip 3 has a price that is starting to fall into the normal range) and they have that differentiating factor.
It is clear that when this technology becomes popular and is an option for the mid-range, it will no longer be so striking to have such a device, but today it is. Another thing is that it matches our personality.
