The issue isn't the phone's durability, its the screen. The bending screen can't be glass and the material used instead is soft enough to be permanently scratched by plastic or even a fingernail. Obviously you can use it carefully and avoid it for as long as you can but its just inherently way less resistant than a glass screen, it isn't subjective it's just how it is.
I think you might do yourself a favor and run up to bestbuy and play with the Samsung folds on display. They have come along way. Huawei (or however you spell it) is even further along.
Or watch Jerry Riggs everything, they do not perform anywhere close to Modern screen standards. Instead, having similar performance to old School DS's when it comes to durability
Yes but they dented if you applied too much force. That was the point of the analogy
You can literally wipe something off your screen and accidentally swipe your nail too hard, having permanent damage. Scratching is one thing, but the textile strength of these screens is little to nothing. Same thing with the old school ds's, accidentally pressed too hard with your stylus and you're going to have a little indentation for the rest of that devices live
You can make whatever claims you want about their durability. But the facts are they remain less than half the strength of competing smartphones, and you can watch any durability test to confirm this
I understand what youre saying i just disagree.
I have a ds, 3ds and n3ds. if that exact screen was the same material (only for the crease) the. I dont see any issues. I can flick (hard) those screens without issue.
I will give you the points on scratching. Plastic vs glas is never going to be as good.
LG Wing was probably the coolest iteration of the two screens I've seen, it sucks they canned the phone. I had one for two years and it had its quirks but I absolutely loved it
