It's funny: if you say "specs vs price" it's obviously not worth it. But if you say "alll phones are about the same anyway these days, flagships aren't worth the premium and this is at least different" then maybe it is?

It's a funny thing, value. Would I spend $200 more to get this rather than the s20 Ultra (which out-specs it in almost every regard)? The answer is "yes", because if I was committed to paying that type of silly price for a phone I don't want an extra $200 for one I find interesting would be worthwhile, and what sort of fool regards "specs" as more important than "does this interest me"? But am I going to shell out the launch price for this? Hell no, at that price I've other things that would be of more value to me than a phone.

But if you say "you have a $2k budget, you have to spend it on a phone, you don't get to keep the change", then yeah, despite the rumoured higher specs of the Galaxy Z Flip this appeals to me in a way that one doesn't (disclosure: I still have a working 2004 Motorola V3, original model, and I used it as my primary phone for 6 years, Unquestionably the best phone, relative to the technology of the time, that I have ever owned, even though it was in many respects less capable than the Ericsson T68 that preceded it).

 

I had a Motorola flip phone back in 2001, I don't feel the nostalgia to get another one.....so Meh!!

 

Never did like flip phones myself. No sale

 

No.
