It's a lot of things but mostly about last year being such a blockbuster. This year there are no big deals being offered. And the phone's upgrade is not as obvious as last year. I think it's solid but It was totally expecting this also because it is obvious how Big Time Samsung spaces out annual upgrades to protect next year's sales and the neck and neck competition in this category has Moto stealing a lot of fire. It almost like Samsung planned a slow year or what.

There is potential in the idea of a foldable. It's a phone that can expand into a tablet, and with the help of Dex, it can even mimic a PC. The idea of one device replacing all of your other gadgets is clearly a positive and would even justify the sky-high price tag as being affordable when you factor in the price of a phone, PC, and tablet. But Samsung is not even trying to expand the software and market it as a do-it-all gadget. Instead we get gimmicky AI, which would better suit the A-series. I am not surprised that sales are down. Foldables are too fragile and too expensive. If it cannot replace your PC, then it shouldn't cost as much as one. What was Samsung thinking?
