> Samsung told Quartz that the Fold is supposed to be durable enough to withstand being folded at least 200,000 times, which would equate to about 300 unfolds every day for two years. (The average person checks their phone between 80 and 300 times each day.)
I wasn't expecting these screens to hold up very well over time, but that number seems shockingly low to me. I don't like the idea that the screen is expected to fail under normal use conditions well before the other hardware in the phone will be considered outdated. I also imagine that it will start showing some signs of damage as you approach the rated 200k folds.

- ianferrel 7y agoEven at 300 phone checks a day, you're probably not unfolding the phone each time. it has a screen you can get to without unfolding it, so many of the quick phone checks you do can be done without unfolding it.
