Why would you want that if you can have something light that can be held in one hand?
The hinge lasts longer than a foldy screen.
Apparently a foldable OLED screen is, typically expected to last at least 200.000 folds. That's more than a 100 folds/day for 5 years. I'd take my chances on one, I think.
Unless you go once near a beach and a single grain of sand gets past the airtight bag the phone was in and the Totally-IP67-We-Swear phone chassis and is fucking destroys the screen from the inside, with a repair bill worthy of a new phone because "that kind of damage is not under warranty".
Source : happened to one of my best friends. Fuck you with a folding dildo, Samsung.
Someone should make a folding dildo.
that's also a good reason to not have the screen fully close. less danger of stuff getting inside.
