A friend enjoys their Motorola razer a lot, the bigger ones seem a bit like a laptop replacement to me. The screens look really fragile though they really need to figure out a way to make a foldable glass to up the durability
They definitely are, which is why I’ve never seriously considered getting one after the initial hype died down. Its a neat concept, but getting stuck with $2,000 paperweight is not.
the price is definitely a big issue too. if it was like 500 bucks for a large screen (razr isnt my vibe, slab is fine, folding out to a big screen seems somewhat useful) id consider it
I’ve had folding phones for the last ~4 years and haven’t noticed any fragility. Only one I broke was when it fell out of my pocket when I fell off my one wheel, but I think that would’ve destroyed any phone.
I think the inner screens are probably more durable then glass as they’re plastic and can bend a bit without shattering like glass does. They’re more vulnerable to scratches but that’s what the screen protectors for
They are extremely fragile, even if you haven’t noticed. The folding screen will just fail after a limited number of cycles due to material fatigue, this is pretty much unavoidable. It’s a cool but inherently stupid design, at least with current material science.
