“I didn’t do anything to deserve this. The phone sat on my desk while I wrote about it, and I would occasionally stop to poke the screen, take a screenshot, or open and close it. It was never dropped or exposed to a significant amount of grit, nor had it gone through the years of normal wear and tear that phones are expected to survive. This was the lightest possible usage of a phone, and it still broke.”
This can happen to any phone of course — there are numerous threads on reddit of faulty S23 phones that are only days old, and of course the first Galaxy fold phones were problematic — but still. Rough start!
I’m waiting for the small transparent plastic tablets like in The Expanse where we can just flick our display to any screen around us at will. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5438bd1be4b0446f6692b906/1619159612621-P4IW0RO7OV8WV0BF5KUX/SP280TQ.png
