  I think screens are capable of breaking on all phones.

    I mean, it breaks by itself (from personal experience), by simply folding and unfolding it on a regular basis

    Maybe it was a defective model, idk. But there are no real benefits (maybe there are some with a phone --> mini tablet foldable phone)

    To put in in perspective. A Moto G Play is $150 (at retail, not including discounts) and can withstand a razor blade scratching the screen, the inner screen of a foldable phone, which is 10x the cost, cannot withstand a simple fingernail.

    Watch the screen scratch test by JerryRigsEverything, then watch another scratch test done on another modern non-folding phone (such as the Galaxy S25 or iPhone 16) and you’ll see how fragile those bending screens really are.

    The spirit breaks under the crushing weight of capitolism.
