Does Everybody ensure that they don't place it besides the coins on their pockets?
Are you certain that the majority of people around the world don't place their phones on top of the dashboard?
Are you certain that people won't accidentally bend their Foldable on the other way? Especially when drunk?
A phone that pass Zack's torture test is ensured that you'll be getting a phone that you won't regret.

RaviSS, 04 Dec 2024If it is inherently an unviable or impractical technology, ... moreI've seen technologies come and go. And I've seen technologies that were abandoned because the manufacturer doesn't care because they want to copy. I'm a victim of those abandoned technologies. Wasted like $5,000. And for what? I won't be able to use them on latest smartphone?
Here's what you should know in regards to foldable displays. Batteries are mounted on one side of the phone. While the Other only provides display and sound. Unfold it and it turns into a tablet. Using the large display consumes a lot of batteries.
Having a triple display when unfolded consumes more than the two-fold phone. And since the battery capacity of foldables is only below 6,000mah. You'll be only using the tri-fold for 3 hours at most.
Which is why. It is better to own a phone and a tablet.

I am puzzled what kind of solution Samsung will use. I hope they will not make the same mistake of having a plastic oled screen serve as the outer screen as well, just as huawei did.

By the time Samsung launch their tri-fold foldable phone in 2026, it gives Huawei a chance to make a second-gen successor with improved screen mechanism. Only time will tell.

Hurraaayyyy the world is saved. Another useless foiling slab aimed at a niche with endlessly deep pockets, just to have a...tablet... And a foil-able version of it will never be as good as the one that has been designed to do just that. And, oh yes, my bad, you'll be able to use it as a phone as well but you might need to reinforce your trouser or jacket pockets it you don't want to lose it after a while.

so what? we drop our phone by accident, even if the phone survive in the test, it might not on real usage with different ground or force

some people pamper carefully their phone, while other wouldnt even care much about as long their phone work despite some scuff/scratch or even crack
how many people care how many dirt in their bag / pocket ?
not as much as zack throwing sand into the phone obviously, but what matter is how well build the hinge with debris build up, surviving the test = those hinge most likely last long in normal usage
and what use "scientific" drop resistance number for ?
a phone that can be bended/crushed with strong man hand = poor durability, its clear simple

RaviSS, 04 Dec 2024If it is inherently an unviable or impractical technology, ... moreI feel like they will always be a premium phone no matter what, and I guess if IPhone does one it will sure become more mainstream and maybe the price will drop not significantly. What I have noticed with people is that for some of them price doesn't matter even if they don't have the money. Take for example ultra expensive brands of clothing that doesn't provide better quality for the price tag, but people buy it for the label. I feel like foldables will be somewhat of the same thing, where 50% will buy it for the features and the other just for being a foldable.

Foxtrot2Novmbr, 04 Dec 2024And there's a reason why technologies like tri-fold do... moreIf it is inherently an unviable or impractical technology, it will slowly die a natural death. But the issues you are referring to are majorly those which are associated with any new drastic innovation. It is only when a certain threshold is reached that economies of scale kicks in and costs start going down.
I feel the folding display technology is at a nascent stage, and it is too early to say whether it will or will not have a long life. If it is unviable and fails, okay. If it works out, great. But I am happy to see new things being tried out, rather than be like 'let's just walk, who needs a wheel, too much work'.

Who actively scratches their phone or leave it next to an open flame? The only tests that make sense are the bend test (even then a phone shouldn't be bending and it also depends on how much force he uses) and the test on the foldables with all the dirt and stuff.
Personally I like PhoneBuff's tests more. It's just limited to drop resistance but at least it's more scientific.
