The closed display halves almost touch, and that can smash debris into the screen.

    Yeah that’s my big fear now that they’re out of the game. They took some wacky and wild chances, but that also led to them developing some stuff that’s industry standard nowadays. They had capacitive screens and wide angle camera lenses before Apple, and while it didn’t “fold” like the Pixel Fold does, I believe the Flex line was the first phone to have a flexed/flexible screen - back in 2015.

    Now that they’re gone, I am afraid it’s just going to be Apple and Samsung copying off one another with diminishing returns.
