Prices remain high across new foldable phone models
Prices remain high across new foldable phone models
2026-10-05
Phone brands are racing to release new foldable phones for the high-end market, with Apple releasing its first foldable iPhone this October. Meanwhile, Samsung is launching a model with new screen dimensions and Oppo is promoting its model’s advanced camera. But with prices starting at NT$60,000, it remains to be seen how many people will choose these flashy new phones.
Even drilling the screen leaves no scratches. The phone can be folded and unfolded repeatedly and is advertised to last 13 years. To show its strength, the company used the phone to pull rowing machines and lift kettlebells while unfolded.
With a 7.95-inch screen, it can use AI to summarize a video while watching it or use two apps at once through split-screen. Foldable phones are useful, but their bulky design, battery life, and camera capabilities remain major challenges for the market.

Its screen breaks easily, so repairs could be expensive, which can make people hesitant to buy it. They might not care about the initial expenditure, but would worry about the warranty and customer service after purchasing it.
Samsung’s Fold8 has a new 4:3 display ratio, Oppo’s N6 boasts impressive camera capabilities, the Honor V6 screen is only 4mm thick when unfolded, and the long-awaited foldable iPhone is only as big as a passport. But with all these phones priced at over NT$60,000, are they really worth it?

Considering foldable phone
I’m not sure how many people use it or how long it lasts, because it’s foldable. I don’t think it’s more durable than a normal phone.

Considers price carefully
If I could afford it, I’d like to try it. The screen is larger, and the iPhone model has lots of new functions. But it would depend on the price.
With innovative features, foldable phones are continuing to improve as technology develops, but their high price remains a barrier for many.

摺疊機大戰! 始祖三星推新機.蘋果10月開賣 "高價位"挑戰市場
2026-10-05
今年各大手機品牌爭相推出摺疊機，搶高端市場，不只iPhone首度加入戰局，投入摺疊機最早的三星，也嘗試新的螢幕比例，Oppo主打強大攝影功能，榮耀則是用超薄機身，改善使用痛點，但一支6萬起跳、甚至破十萬的手機，消費者能不能接受，也是關注焦點。
電鑽鑽螢幕，竟然沒有任何刮痕，摺疊機開開關關，鉸鏈經過50萬次測試，相當於每天折疊100次，標榜可用13年。為了消除市場對摺疊機的疑慮，直接拿手機拉壺鈴和划船機，展示耐用度。
7.95吋大螢幕，影片看到一半，可以叫出AI助理整理摘要，凹一下手機，還能啟動Gemini，分割螢幕使用。折疊機應用多。但三大痛點，包括厚重、電池續航力和相機規格妥協，成為市場最大考驗。

“它玻璃容易破掉，所以維修的費用會很高，大家可能就是望之而卻步，他可能不會去在乎，可能第一筆花的錢是多少錢，他是擔心他入手之後，產品保固的問題，以及後續服務的問題。”
比較各手機廠牌，三星發展摺疊機早，Fold8嘗試新的4比3螢幕比例，Oppo N6相機功能取勝，榮耀贏在螢幕展開厚度只有4mm，至於萬眾期待的iPhone首支摺疊機Duo，呈現護照大小好掌握，加上軟體系統應用。綜觀來看，摺疊機價格至少6萬多起跳，最高規格甚至來到11萬，能買得下手嗎？

“不知道它的使用率，可以用多久，因為摺疊。感覺就是沒有，比一般的手機還要耐用。”
[[民眾]]
“經濟允許的話，其實我會想嘗試，螢幕比較大，然後又加上的話，（蘋果）它這一版的話，有蠻多新的功能，覺得應該是看價格的關係。”
摺疊機新奇，科技進步也能改善使用者痛點，但高價位形成最現實的門檻，還是要看用戶買不買單。
