I understand the laws of physics are in effect, but the big thing keeping me from even remotely considering a foldable is the durability of the internal screen. The newer Galaxy Fold's have some sort of plastic/glass composite, but it still scratches super easily, and it's not serviceable at all.

That's an ambitious price point. Who are they targeting with this?

It's price matched with the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4 that's a direct form factor competitor. There are some more mid market competitors but they're not on their own out there at 1800 USD.

> Google says the phone has IPX8 dust and water resistance, which means it's not dust-resistant at all

That should tell you anything you need to know about its durability.

I just don't understand who wants these foldable phones, especially at the $1799 price point. I guess a use case is wealthy frequent travelers who don't want a separate device with a larger screen to watch movies/videos on the go? Someone help me out here.
