The other factors at play are that mAh results in a larger unit than Wh without being awkwardly large like mWh would be, and most people are so hopelessly illiterate at dealing with battery capacity units that they'll get confused regardless of what unit you choose.

I'd be interested in foldable phones if they'd give up on the flexible screen stupidity and just use 2 well-integrated panels. I'd rather have a small gap between the 2 displays than an ultra fragile, unreplaceable lumpy screen.
Qi2 is still incredibly new. Only one Android phone so far has it afaik and it isn't a major brand, so it'll take some time to get it integrated. Likely next generation for all the major manufacturers. One problem is that products typically take a few years to go from concept to release, and Qi2 was released as a standard last year, so virtually all the phones would have been in the latter half of their design cycle by then which would be a bit late to make a design change like that. Of course, many of the manufacturers are involved in designing these standards, so they certainly have a leg up on implementing them quickly.
Because not many people care about Wireless charging and companies don’t see the need to put faster wireless charging especially when it creates more heat. People want faster WIRED charging that finishes in less than 1 hour (or even less than 30 minutes) and would rather have that instead of inefficient wireless charging.
true, just got full body and screen replacement for my ZFlip 5. thankfully it was free cz under Scare+, I will reconsider to buy S Care+ for next year.
I imagine the newer ones stand up better in no small part because of the bigger outer screen, but intrinsically flip style phones will be subjected to a lot of wear by most owners with many folding cycles per day due to frequent phone use, larger fold style devices stand up better inherently because they see far fewer mechanical cycles per day. Flip style devices right now are probably best suited to infrequent/light phone users who value the compact size but still want a nice phone and are happy to spend for it, most average users for various reasons should still get a slab phone.
@@brandon_nope Dunno know why it causes confusion to you as literally the whole phone industry uses mAh for their products and it should be easy to compare between phones.

@@gginindereuw6288mAh doesnt take the battery voltage into account. (m)Wh is mAh x voltage. Much more comparable from battery to battery as voltages vary slightly between different lithium chemistry compositions. Outside of tech Wh is the standard for batteries.

There's a reason you measure power of electrical devices in Watts (W) and not in Amps (A), as Amps don't really mean much on their own. Same with batteries.

Samsung foldable screens are tested to last about 200.000 folds. If you unfold and fold your device 100 times a day, it would roughly make 5 years of screen life.
Will you do the Honor V3? Since it has actually improved over the last model instead of samsung who just slapped "AI" all over it. The Honor will be available globally and I think a lot of poeple will start to look elsewhere than samsung for foldable in the near future.
Foldables are still too fragile IMO to even consider. They may look nice, but at the end of the day, the inner screens are plastic and will be damaged easily, plus they are only rated for a certain number of folds. I'd say that in under 2 years, the inner displays WILL break, and replacements won't be cheap. So it's a no from me.
