There are other things which might touch your screen like dust, which are much harder than a fingernail and thus will be able to scratch it. Just because it hasn’t happened to you yet doesn’t mean it’s not possible.
At the end of the day a glass screen will always be more scratch resistant than a plastic screen
I’ve had my foldable for a couple of years and even after removing the factory screen protection I’ve had 0 scratches on it.
If you are a careful person with your phone, they are fine. If you are the type to crack your screen after a week of use, then they are even more of a headache.
Do those phones sell that well? I held one recently and it doesn’t seem very practical for someone that keeps taking their phone out back into their pocket often.
It has its niche. Those who like it, really like it. My friend is basically only going to go with flip phones from now on because it fits completely inside his pockets and that it can act as its own tripod.
I’m actually greatful for foldable phones. When they started actually coming out, I was certain that smartphones were feature-complete and my phone would never become obsolete again. If that weren’t true, they would have put a new real feature in the phone instead.
what is the benefit of this i don’t get it?
Larger display but still compact in your pocket. It’s just a competitor to the Samsung flip phone
Yes, but you can rig the screen with a fingernail if you push hard enough. Tested it in store…

Scratching your phone with a really soft material is a very different situation than smashing it into the ground…

I bet the screen is less prone to scratching from anything in your pockets

I’m the sort of person that takes it out of my pocket and puts it back a lot. It’s not a big deal honestly, it feels good to open and close it.
this is my thought too. i take my phone out hundreds of times a day and wonder how this would affect me if i had to unfold that much.
