1. Overprice – one of the main reason behind their failure are Pricing, which was just not considerable. Handset like Samsung Galaxy Fold – 164,999 INR 

These prices are really High for general people in India . As India is yet , a developing nation where majority of population are middle- class. Why they would waste their money in just a phone having a distinct looks, but all the general features which are also available with other handsets. Surely they choose to purchase others mobile phones having similar features.

 Companies fixed the prices to get a profit margin over the cost indulged in making, so the companies could not bring down the prices.     

Might be in some years (2-3) there will be some depreciation in cost of these phones.

2. Convenience level and troublesome- while other mobile phones and touch screens are convenient to handle and use,  Foldable phones lack this trait of convenience. The imagination of bending and opening screen phones were absolutely amazing, but handling them were not that much great.

Of course, people carry handset because they are convenient, but if they have to carry a mobile phone which is more likely to be a tablet they might find it not easily portable.

3. Fragility of Glass – Glass being glass won’t promise assured future as they are easily breakable. Folding screens more often May lead to broken screens in just matter of a month. Even touch screens are not secured in terms of OLEDs screens, but foldable phones are not durable comparing to touch screens they have tremendously less strength.
4. Appealing Touch Screens & iPhone– In the range of foldable phones one can buy more than 2 good Touch screens and in less , an iPhone. So why anyone choose to buy foldable phones having so many faults.
5. Under- developed Software and Hardware–  foldable phones have faults in their software as well as Hardware. Endangered dust and particles can easily enter through edges which leads to damaging the device. Edges are easy to peal out. Despite being a highly upgraded handset with looks, softwares are not so much developed, having the same system which ordinary touch screen has . If Indian invest their money, they want everything with further more expectations, so this is another foremost reason for failure.
