    Apparently a foldable OLED screen is, typically expected to last at least 200.000 folds. That’s more than a 100 folds/day for 5 years. I’d take my chances on one, I think.

        yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.

      Second question, if you’re going to read from one screen at a time, why have two screens?

        I guess this way you can also use it for manga or any other medium that sometimes use both page to display something.

        If you’re going to read from one screen at a time, why have 2 monitors on your computer?

          If I were to read a book on my computer, I would use one screen. That’s kinda my point. A second monitor does nothing for me in that scenario.

          But it folds like a book, and i see it being held like a book. If that means text populates in two columns like a book, and you read one column at a time, I really don’t see the point of the second side. You can just turn the page.

            I mean it’s for the same reasons books aren’t the same size of matchboxes. A larger area makes it easier to read.

      Unless you go once near a beach and a single grain of sand gets past the airtight bag the phone was in and the Totally-IP67-We-Swear phone chassis and is fucking destroys the screen from the inside, with a repair bill worthy of a new phone because “that kind of damage is not under warranty”.
