Samsung has announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, a foldable phone comprised of three ultra-thin (~4mm) panels and two sets of hinges, that unfolds into a 10-inch tablet. When closed, it resembles a standard smartphone with a 6.5-inch display that is 12.9mm thick. Because the main screen is so large, Samsung has created a "standalone" version of Samsung DeX, meaning it can switch to a PC-like desktop mode without attaching ...
Considering everyone I know with a folding phone has had a fault with the folding part of it - I don’t think its the best idea from a durability standpoint to add yet another folding part.
If one screen or fold point breaks, you’re now left with two unusable (but perfectly functioning) screens. Seems like an expensive gimmick to me.
If I saw that obvious issue, what is their fucking problem?
The engineer’s problem is that the marketing and sales department started running all of the companies two decades ago. So, they’re constantly overruled.
Valid, also the accountanting departments, which is the kiss of death for any company. Never let the accountants run anything, just keep them in their hole, counting the money.

Then they can replace more devices. Capitalism at work
Mine grew a visible line at the foldy bit that you can see at an angle.
I like the phone though, just know what you’re getting into.
My understanding is that’s normal on all foldable. It can be more or less, but it’s on all of them.
From the moment I saw it, I knew what the problem would be, and surprise! That’s the problem.
BTW, I’m a musician, not an engineer. If I saw that obvious issue, what is their fucking problem?
It’s not a problem, it’s a business opportunity. The more they break, the more they can sell you a 2000 dollars phone.
