    I know, but each time you go to a foldable subreddit, you can almost certainly find people showing their broken screens. The numbers are just for folding in perfect conditions. It is the weak part, still. No hard glass cover, hardly water resistant, weak dust resistance, etc. I accidentally once folded my screen with a key inside (as I was folding at the same time as sliding into the pocket that had a key in it) and only noticed few minutes later. Survived, but that would not be a worry at all with non-foldable.

      Sure, but there are tons of people walking around with cracked screens on slab phones too. The screen is always the weakest part. What would be noticeable is if screens on foldables failed way more than on slab phones, but I haven’t seen any evidence to support that. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the other way around: slabs break their screens far more when they get dropped because the screen isn’t protected on the inside like a foldable does.
