The closed display halves almost touch, and that can smash debris into the screen.
At this point, everyone should know first gen Google hardware is always a bit rough. And we know how foldables are more fragile than normal phones.
That’s a potent mix for disaster.
Any first gen foldable phone is just asking for heartbreak, it seems like. Seems like the best bet is to wait until the 3rd or 4th generation, when they’ve worked out most of the problems and can start working on refinement.
I’ve always been concerned about screen durability with this style of phone. I like the idea, though.
I just wish Google would bring back Glass.
Mine comes in tomorrow and now I’m nervous.
You know what never had that problem despite years of abuse? My LG V60 Dual Screen.
I still used my V30 as my daily driver until about a month ago. Only switched finally because the software was so out of date and it wasn’t worth rooting it.
Hardware-wise, it was still working no problem. The battery didn’t have the capacity it once did, but would still last a day. Not bad for being over 5 years old.
Dunno if too many people remembered the bootlooping issues of the G4, V10 and Nexus 5X and if that contributed to LG exiting the market.
Oh believe me I remember that V10 bootloop. I liked how lg held out a little longer on removable batteries, and stayed with ir blasters and other niche things when other manufacturers abandoned them. I won’t miss the screen burn in.
