    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.

        yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.

      Second question, if you’re going to read from one screen at a time, why have two screens?

        I guess this way you can also use it for manga or any other medium that sometimes use both page to display something.
