High Cost of Folding Phones: Technology & Manufacturing Explained..

Due to the increasing demand for foldable smartphones, companies are now launching new and advanced technology foldable phones. After Samsung, Google, OnePlus, and Vivo, Apple's first foldable phone can be launched soon. The foldable phone may look great, but the price is mind-blowing. Today, we will tell you why foldable phones cost lakhs. There are many reasons why foldable phones are expensive, such as the latest technology and complex manufacturing process.

Foldable phones are expensive due to these reasons.

Flexible Screen: The most expensive part in a foldable smartphone is the flexible screen. Compared to traditional displays, the complex manufacturing and engineering of the foldable screen make it more expensive to make the phone. This is the reason why when companies launch foldable phones, their price reaches millions.

Crease: When the display folds, companies are constantly investing heavily in research and development to make sure that the crease in the middle of the screen is less visible or not visible. The price of foldable phones also increases due to research and development costs.

Advanced Hinge Mechanism: The second expensive part after the display is the hinge. The hinge helps in folding and opening the phone easily without any damage. The hinge has to be made strong so that even if the customer folds and unfolds the phone thousands of times after buying it, the mobile does not get damaged. Not only this, it is also a challenge to keep the hinge thin so that the phone does not look thick.

Hardware: Companies charge lakhs of rupees for foldable phones, but in return, you are also offered a powerful processor, better camera system and other high-end components. The price of the phone increases due to the components being expensive.
