“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 want one that’s already ‘there’. I appreciate the work and sacrifice early adopters are doing to help me get there.

      Same. I make good money and can easily enough deal with the expense. But the durability is something they need to improve to get me on board.

      I think it’d be pretty neat for the extra screen real estate, improve “front facing” camera, and for watching videos. It’s mostly small things, but they are cool!
