Woow. Ok, so this is going to get buried, but... ...while looking at the article I just spied "09JAN19" on the back of the display in the 5th image in the 3rd gallery (the teardown one). Motorola have been working away at this for over a year. And (probably...?) successfully kept it a secret. And watched while Samsung's fold thing blew up. With their own display probably already set in stone. And it looks like they have a winner on their hands. Hahh.

Rumoured initial release of February 2019 and the Snapdragon 710 that is in devices for over 1.5? years already I wouldn't be surprised if similar problems as Samsung's lead to that late release now.
