    same goes with apple lol, they may use screens made by Samsung
    so it is same

      Doesn't change the fact that the screen is still garbage that will scratch at level 2 with finer grooves at level 3.

      When Apple makes a foldable it will be the best in the business.

He stabbed the food screen and scratched it. Places fire on it and put dirt in the screen and closed it with no issues everything worked flawless.

            It is in my opinion as well and I love the IP rating it received but that's not much of an achievement and I still advise my girlfriend not to waste her money on a folding phone and I'll keep doing that until they figure out how to bend glass or discover a material very similar to glass that bends. Finally I'm not a chemist nor do I claim to be one so I don't even know if it's even possible to bend glass according to what we believe we know about chemistry and physics.

                  I find it really strange how the supposed gorilla glass victus seems to shatter so easily.
                  I have had a gorilla glass 6 phone for some time, that has survived numerous falls worse than this, and victus should be more durable than gg6.

                            I own fold2 and i had fold3 for a week its terrible looks cheap pen is too big and bad.
                            Selfie USC camera is really bad. My 7 years old daughter on messenger and WhatsApp calls telling me all the time that my camera is dirty or internet is bad BUT IS NOT JUST BLLURY AND LOW RESOLUTION CAMERA MAKES THIS EFFECT.

                            BUY FOLD 2 ITS 3 TIMES BETTER CHOICE

                              I still find my current LG V60 with its DualScreen case still enough for my intensive daily drive. I always accidentally dropped my phone and use it underwater countless times, particularly during pool swimming, and it still never miss a beat. I did have a look at the Z Fold3 at an authorized Samsung retailer and the very first thing I noticed is the crease in the middle of the inside screen. Definitely won't be living with it.

                                so this phone doesn't need a protection plan
