    Whilst i might be biased, my samsung fold 3 has been fine for 2 years. My mum and step dad have had the flip 2 and 4, a colleague at work has a gold 4 and two colleagues at qork have a fold 5 each.

    No issues at all.

    I would argue that you have also formed a bias based on people you know who perhaps dont take care of their insanely expensive phones.

    Although saying that, I’ve dropped mine multiple times, onto wood flooring, ceramic tiles, and tarmac (i practically threw it onto the tarmac when something scared me). Amd all it auffered was a few scratches and dents on the edges. Both screens are absolutely fine.

      I gifted my mom my Flip 3 when I migrated off (I couldn’t tolerate the cameras on it). She only broke it once early on by dropping it with the screen open, but that’s what the accidental protection is for. Other than that, she uses it daily and it still is going strong.

      The plural of “anecdote” is not “data”.
