And so, on the eve of the global release, journalists began to publish their first reviews of the device. As expected, the gadget, despite its promising characteristics, could not overcome the problems with the fragility of the flexible screen.
Our colleague from Ars Technica has published material in which he says that despite the very careful handling of the smartphone, after a few days of use the screen stops responding to touch and the pixels begin to deteriorate.
It turned out that the smallest piece of debris got into the open strip of the OLED panel, causing it to break.
It’s all about the screen design, which is an issue with most foldable smartphones. Although the companies that make such screens cover the OLED panels with a protective plastic layer, this is still not a panacea.
It should be noted, however, that not all companies face this problem to the same extent. For example, the same Oppo Find N2 has higher bezels that provide more space between the screen halves when closed, protecting them from unwanted objects.
