Smartphone manufacturers still want to make foldables a thing::Foldables are barely 1% of the market, but that's not stopping anyone but Apple.

I just want an LGV20 with upgraded specs. Make that while you're at it.

Removable battery, 3.5mm Jack, quad DAC, physical sim, SD slot. God that was great. I recently got a xcover 6 pro which is updated and close enough; it's waterproof to boot. Definitely not flagship though.

I'll look at it. Thanks for the recommendation. I don't care about having a flagship phone if it can't do the things I want from it. Those things are all made for the iPhone crowd anyway.

This is what puts me off.

Runar Bjørhovde, an analyst at Canalys, said return rates of foldables are 5-10 percent, far higher than traditional smartphones and a deterrent to repeat purchases.

A phone costing me four digits with that high a return rate. Nope.
