An isolated case, but it could happen to anyone
the first batch of reviews paint Google's debut foldable in a pretty positive light. Even so, a fundamental part of the its design does raise questions around its longevity, after one reviewer found out the hard way., we commended the company's first folding phone for a number of reasons, chief among them being its durability.
– which maintains a slight gap between the two halves of its main display when folded closed – the Pixel Fold's hinge mechanism also allows for the phone to fold completely flat, making it one of the thinnest foldables of its type on the market. Naturally, Amadeo states that this issue occurred during normal use and that the fractional boundary of exposed OLED panel – sitting just beyond the bounds of the protective plastic top layer – is where the offending grit found its mark. So it doesn't seem like user error is a factor, and its possible that Amadeo was just particularly unlucky.
Look at Samsung's first foldable outing as one example – 2019's original Galaxy Fold – it took reviewers just days to report on a bevvy of issues relating the display's durability, including a pre-fitted screen protector that many incorrectly thought was removable; thanks in part to the small boundary of unprotected OLED display it left exposed at its borders, just like the Pixel Fold.
