They were very evasive on what the inner screen was made of. I'm going to assume its the same plastic all the other folding phones are made of.

- mrexroad 26d agoEvasive? They literally discussed the layers of materials, with the outer being a polymer.
- adamwk 26d agoThey went in pretty extensive detail for the internal parts of the folding screen?
- layer8 26d agoModern foldables use ultra-thin glass (UTG). There’s a factory-installed screen protector layer on top which can make it feel plasticy.
- LoganDark 26d agoDoesn't removing the "screen protector" destroy the pixels? Or was that just some early Samsungs? (that made an important built-in layer look like a screen protector)
- layer8 26d agoYea, it’s not supposed to be removed.
- LoganDark 26d agoI was hopeful that the Apple foldable would use glass as the top layer so it doesn't get scratched. Plastic does not inspire confidence; no coating can actually protect it from damage because it can still simply get plastically squished.
- fckgw 26d agoThey talked for several minutes on the materials and engineering that went into the screen and how it wasn't "the same plastic all the other folding phones are made of"
